Title: German Translation Help?? Extech 382275 = Manson HCS-3402 = Maas HCS 3402 PSU
Post by: cinetron on March 23, 2017, 07:09:32 am
I have a dead Extech 382275 bench top PSU and after removing the board discovered it has a couple of other names by other manufacturers. The board inside says HCS-3400 Power Board by Manson . Looking on-line I discovered it is also sold as a Maas HCS-3402.  I found a video in German that discusses repairing one of these supplies but I can't follow it, and turning on English subtitles just makes it quite hilarious as the translation is so bad. Anyway at one point the person in the video I believe discusses the problem which I think are blown diodes. I was wondering if anyone who speaks German could take a quick look around the 15:30 mark and let me know if this is indeed the issue. When I measure the same diodes in circuit they appear shorted but not sure if they are or it is just surrounding circuitry that makes them appear that way. I have no schematics and it is difficult to trace the circuit? Anyway if there is anyone who could help I would sure appreciate it. I really don't want this supply to end up being unusable. Here is the link to the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1zg-OhT6r4 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1zg-OhT6r4)
Thanks!!

He said, there's 2 diodes in one case, as schema shows.
He tested by using a multimeter in diode test mode.
What is self-explainig...

Do you have more questions?

And he said that he removed the diodes prior to testing them.

The left one was blown and got replaced.

Around 20:00 both mosfets fail after he replaced the diode. He doesn't know if this was related to the shorted diodes, but could be.

Wow thanks so much for the help with this. I was at a loss to know what he was saying. Hopefully this will lead to a revived power supply :)

Hi Cinetron,
i have the same (Manson branded) device here with a blown current shunt resistor.
Is there a value printed on it?

If not, are you able to measure the value for me?

Manson is the original manufacturer. They do not provide schematics :(
