Low Output Voltage Troubleshooting
STEP
ACTION
RESPONSE
PROBABLE CAUSE
1
Check turn on of Q7
(and Q6, if included)
by opening the emitter
of Q4 .
a. Output voltage remains low.
b. Output voltage increases.
a. Q7 (or Q6) open.
b. Reconnect lead and pro-
ceed to Step 2.
2
Eliminate the current
limit circuit as a source
of trouble by discon-
necting the anode of
CR16.
a. Output voltage increases.
a. Q10 shorted, R81 defec-
tive.
b. Output voltage remains low.
b. Reconnect lead and pro-
ceed to Step 3.
3
Check turn off of Q4 by
shorting Q3 emitter to
collector.
a. Output voltage remains low.
b. Output voltage increases.
a. Q4 shorted.
b. Remove the short and
proceed to Step 4.
