Working on an EDC 522 Voltage Calibrator.
Upon receipt it had a blown -15V regulator; replaced that. No other signs of Magic Smoke. All PS voltages are correct.
Powers up in OVERLOAD, and sure enough it is.
The Output is pinned at the -150V rail regardless of the front panel settings, the 0 output relay is closed due to the OL condition, causing the 50ohm 2W current limit resistor between the power amplifier and the output attenuator circuitry to get real hot RIGHT NOW!
So far I have tested all the semis in the output stage using a curve tracer, and all are fine. I replaced the op amp. I have measured all the resistors for value, and the caps for leakage, again all apparently OK.
I have run continuity of the feedback loop, this too seems normal.
The DAC is indeed telling the output stage the correct level, but the output stage has a mind of it's own.
Still the same problem, what am I missing???
Any and all comments welcome!
