M-200t CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION
I
This f eature allows power to be delivered to the amplif ier only as
required, and provides a means of full amplifier and speaker protection
without excessive or interf ering circuitry being added directly in the
signal path.
The firing angle of triac TR], which controls the power delivered
to (T-2), is determined by the variable current source of OC[. Dio6.
Dio7. Dio8. and Dill Provide Voltage "Steering" for OC] which makes it
possible to use the bi-polar device for AC control.
When the voltage on C86 reaches 40 volts, diac DC[ will trigger
(see fig. 1) and fire triac TR[, which will remain on until zero crossing
and then turn off . TR[ will remain off until DC[ is again triggered
(see fig. 2).
If suf f icient current f lows through OC[ to trigger diac DC[ before
or at 90° (see fig. 3), then maximum power will be delivered to the
primary of (T-2). If the current through OC[ is insufficient to charge
C86 to 40 volts before zero crossing, then no power will be delivered
to the primary of (T-2) (see fig. 4). The normal operating range of
TR] is demonstrated by f igures 2 and 3 which indicate the minimum and ,
maximum firing angles.
Opto-coupler OC] is used to provide electrical isolation between
the primary and secondary circuits. The current through the LED
portion of OC] is proportional to the power available to the primary
of (I-2).
The network formed by Diug. Diio. Dii2. D||3. R2o6. R205' R208'
and R2]2 is used to Prevent hysteresis by Pulling the Voltage on C86
down after DC] has stopped conducting.
THE REGULATOR
-2-
R243 and Di22 Provide a Stable reference voltage, other than ground,
allowing the output of the differential amplifier to determine OC], LED
current without having to level-shift its output.
The network of D]32. R]95, and C75 allows the regulator to rapidly
respond to decreases in positive rail voltage while slowing its response
to rail voltage increase. D]33, R[94, and C74 Perform the Same function
for the negative rail. This action improves the stability of the regulator.
PROTECTION CIRCUITS
-3-
2) High Frequency Protection - This feature prevents cormon mode
conduction at the clip point at high frequencies and prevents ultra-
sonic oscillations from damaging speakers. Under normal operation D59
and D9 prevent the positive current limiters from turning on during
negative audio excursions. Bypassing D59 and D9 With C54 and C24
allows abnormally high f requencies to turn the positive limiters on
during negative excursions. This will initiate the same shutdown cycle
as over-current.
driving IC2 pin 1 positive, and turn the main supply off .

MISCELLANEOUS
D2o. R3i. and C]3 filter Supply noise from the +55 volt supply to
reduce noise in the predrivers.
The output pole of C[2 and R53 operates as an ultra-sonic output
filter and phase compensator.
Overall negative feedback is provided to the negative port of
the input buffer via R]8. The amount of feedback is determined by
Ri8. R65. C2i and R64. In the right Channel the feedback is determined
by R98. Ri53. C5i. Ri52. and Ri47.
The front panel of the M-200t has a power on/off switch, a power
indicator LED and a fault LED which indicates when the supply is
into protection.
The amplifier may be operated in stereo or bridged for mono operation,
with no special adaptor. Minimum recormended impedance of 4 ohms nominal
for stereo and 8 ohms nominal for bridged mode.
The amplif ier is protected with an eight amp AGC fuse and 70°C
thermal breaker both in series with the line.

M-200t TEST PROCEDURE
1. INSPECT AMP FOR GROSS WIRING ERRORS AND POOR SOLDER ON PCB.
2. SET RPI AND RP100 BIAS CONTROLS FOR MINIMUM IDLE CURRENT.
SET RP200 FOR MINIMUM SECONDARY VOLTAGE.
A) Adjust Rpl for (3.0 mv "±0.5 mv" across R47) with loads out.
This will set the left channel (idle current at 25-35 rnA).
8) Repeat step "A" for Rploo on right channel. Measure across R137.
C) Engage loads.
8. CHECK BOTH CHANNELS @ I kHz FULL POWER @ 3V rms (128W) @ 120V line.
