FAULT FINDING
6
The following information may assist in locating faults occuring on the amplifier boards of a 405.
In each case only the faulty channel of the 405 is driven, as in the test procedure. The input should be
a sine wave of 0.5V RMS and the output should be applied to an 8„ load unless otherwise stated.
The numbers refer to the relavent test check.
*Board type M12368 only **Board type M12565 only.
