| HP 400F Power Supply Troubleshooting Help Needed! |
| << < (4/4) |
| David D:
Well, I replaced tantalum C24 and my negative side is back up and running. It wasn't dead shorted, but breaking down under power and pulling the negative rail down. I do have one question regarding the positive and negative rails: My positive side measures +26.27 volts and my negative side measures -25.65 volts when referenced to ground. Is there any cause for concern that there's a .62 volt difference between them? :-// |
| David D:
Anyone? I have some meter deflection on all ranges with no input (shorted) and want to rule out the power supply before I delve into checking other components. |
| factory:
The manual gives a tolerance of ±1V for both the +26V & -26V supply, your readings are fine, they are never going to be perfect without adjustment pots, which HP deemed not necessary. David |

Thanks David! That table isn't in the version of the manual for my unit (s/n 0950A). I looked in an older version (734-) and it's there. Makes you wonder why HP went backwards on their manual :-// Thanks again for the help. I appreciate it! |
