PROTECTION CIRCUIT
If the temperature inside
the CA260 rises above 80 the protection circuit comes into operation,
decreasing output. At this time the protect indicator blinks. If the temperature
comes back below 80 C by natural cooling,
output returns as it was.
If the temperature rises above 100 , the power supply circuit is shut off . Not
only does the output stop, but also the protect indicator goes out. If this
happens, it is possible that the CA260 is broken. However, even in
this state, it cannot be always said that it is broken because the unit may
operate when the temperature comes back below 80 C by natural cooling.
Protection circuit schematic
-Idling current adjustment
Conditions: Connect the DC voltmeter between TPl and TP2 and between TP3 and
TP4.
-Connect a 13. 8V power supply to the 12V Battery Power In terminal.
-After the power on, wait for 5 minutes before measuring to be sure of the most
stable operation.
Inspection:
-Confirm that the idling current is 50mA :t 20mA (voltage: 33mV:t 13mV).
If the current measured does not fall within the range specified , adjust it
with the procedure below.
