TROUBLESHOOTING ORBAN MODEL 9300
more than a few millivolts difference between these two terminals, the IC is proba-
bly bad.
Exceptions are opamps used without feedback (as comparators) and opamps with
outputs that have been saturated due to excessive input voltage because of a defect
in an earlier stage. However, if an opamp's (+) input is more positive than its (–) in-
put, yet the output of the IC is sitting at –14 volts, the IC is almost certainly bad.
The same holds true if the above polarities are reversed. Because the characteristics
of the 9300's circuitry are essentially independent of IC opamp characteristics, an
opamp can usually be replaced without recalibration.
A defective opamp may appear to work, yet have extreme temperature sensitivity. If
parameters appear to drift excessively, freeze-spray may aid in diagnosing the prob-
lem. Freeze-spray is also invaluable in tracking down intermittent problems. But
use
it sparingly, because it can cause resistive short circuits due to moisture condensation
on cold surfaces.
