BULLETIN # 916
MODEL: PS-50
SUBJECT: Improved Voltage Surge Protection
We have received a few reports regarding the loss of transistor Q4,
resistors R2, and R3, and zener diode D4 on the AVR UNIT. Apparently a
voltage surge on the power input might cause D4 to short. If this occurs
the surge current thru resistors R2 and R3 could be high causing the
failure of the two resistors and Q4.
Procedure:
On the AVR unit X43-1520-00 open or remove diode D4.
If you receive a unit with no output voltage check D4, R2, R3 and Q4. You
should replace R2, R3, and Q4 if there is any sign of damage to any of
these components.
This change applies to serial numbers before 7040001.
Time required for this change is 1/2 hour or less.
