Hello All,
I have come across a Fluke 5215A precision amplifier. It is FIXED at 100x amplification by design.
I have been trying to repair the preamplifier board and having trouble with this one. I am specifically trying to follow the TS procedures in the manual on page 4-24. When I get to step 10 I am to check the -31Vdc at TP17 and the +30.5Vdc at TP8. I am measuring -33.04 and +32.2 at TP17 & TP8 respectively. Since these measurements are out of tolerance, I am directed to go to step 12.
Step 12 directs me to check 40Vrms input to the bridge rectifier(CR182) and this is where I am stuck. I am measuring 48.6Vrms across pins 5 & 7 of P20. The input comes DIRECTLY from the AUX T3 to CR182.
What am I doing wrong or what could be causing me to measure high at the input to CR182? The input to CR175, which is the rectifier for the 21Vrms, reads 21'ish Vrms.
Also, what is the best way to communicate the schematics? The manual is the same all over the net so I thought folks would just download that and correlate the info I am referring to.
Which is best?
Cheers
