4. Confirm both meters are illuminated.

5. Confirm operation of the Step-Start Relay (Within 1-2 seconds after switching the

amplifier

, the Step-Start Relay should produce a soft “Click” and the meter illu-

mination should noticeably brighten).

6. After approximately 20 Seconds, switch the amplifier “POWER” switch

OFF

If the amplifier Step-Start Relay energized properly and the meters illuminated, then bright-
ened after the Step-Start interval, proceed with the following test. Otherwise, unplug the
amplifier from the AC mains and begin troubleshooting.

1. Insert the amplifier keying line into the “RL CONT” jack.

2. Ensure the free-end of the keying line is electrically “Open”.

3. Switch the amplifier

and reconfirm proper Step-Start operation.

4. Confirm that neither

ON AIR

nor

STBY

lights is illuminated.

5. Change the amplifier “LINEAR” switch from

STBY

OPERATE

Confirm the

STBY

light is now illuminated.

6. Electrically short the “Open” end of the keying line.

Confirm the

STBY

light is extinguished and

ON AIR

light is illuminated.

7. Set the “LINEAR” switch to

STBY

Confirm

STBY

and

ON AIR

lights are extinguished.

8. Set the “LINEAR” switch to

OPERATE

, and short the keying line.

Confirm the

STBY

light is extinguished and

ON AIR

light is illuminated.

9. Open the keying line.

Confirm

ON AIR

light extinguished and

STBY

light illuminated.

10. Electrically short the “Open” end of the keying line (again).

Reconfirm the

STBY

light is extinguished and

ON AIR

light is illuminated.

11. With the keying line still shorted, set the “LINEAR” switch to

STBY

Confirm

STBY

and

ON AIR

lights are extinguished.

12. Leave the “LINEAR” switch set to

STBY

13. Switch the amplifier

OFF
