How to service

Front line service

BeoLab 4000 MKII is to be serviced in the customer’s home when it comes to electrical symptoms or exchange of mechanical parts. In this way you avoid having to make more than one visit and using minimum of time on the case, all for the beneﬁt of the customer. BeoLab 4000 MKII has been split-up into as few service items as possible. Each service friendly item is packed individually, prepared for worldwide transport, and has a separate seven digit spare part number to be found in the Service Manual or on the Bang & Olufsen Retail System. The exploded view drawing will show the service spare parts. All necessary electrical modules and the two loudspeaker units can be ordered to prepare front-line service. Cabinet parts must also be brought with you separately, if to be replaced in the customer’s home.

To improve the quality and secure a better service please send the defective part for quality analyse purposes to: Att: Bang & Olufsen Operation a/s Att.: JEB 7210-3 Peter Bangsvej 15 DK-7600 Struer

Fault Finding

Please remember to ﬁll-in a fault description (part no.: 3542206).

There is several type numbers for BeoLab 4000 MKII, however, this is only due to market approvals. All types can be used on all markets with 100 to 240 V (ac) mains voltage. When you order BeoLab 4000 MKII (set of two) two mains cables and two Power Link cables are included.

Only the switch for Left, Right or Line must be set into correct position as described in the User Guide, before Power Link or a Line signal and AC power wires are connected. If Power Link is used, the switch is for Left or Right setting. If a Line signal (0 to 1V) is connected (via phono-male to PL Line-in) part no. see Parts not shown) the switch must be set to Line position. See more details in the User Guide. The LED will indicate on (green) or off (red).

Before troubleshooting is initiated, let the customer demonstrate the fault, if possible. There are four electrical modules in the product. Therefore a faulty module is easy to point out in most cases. The PCB’s has been divided into: PCB01, Ampliﬁer - PCB02, SMPS - PCB03, Main PCB and PCB04, LED. No special service programs are available in this product or via the ServiceTool. If there is a fault in the PCB02, SMPS or PCB01, Ampliﬁer the LED is typically off.

Replacement

Each loudspeaker is individually adjusted from production to ensure optimal stereo perspective. When replacing a speaker unit bass/treble level have to be adjusted. On the back of the new unit will be printed a rated value for the sensitivity of the particular unit. The rated value is rated in dB.

Handling

Cleaning

Warnings – Insulation test 2.1

When electrical replacement or disassembly is taking place, use an ESD-mat. The internal electronics are very sensitive to static electricity.

Wear cotton gloves to avoid any ﬁngerprints on the product. The surfaces on the product are very sensitive, so handling should be done with great care to avoid damage.

Clean the surfaces of the BeoLab 4000 MKII using a soft, lintfree cloth which you have wrung ﬁrmly in a solution of lukewarm water containing a few drops of mild household cleaner, for example a dish washing detergent. The cooling ﬁns on the rear may be cleaned using a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. The front cloth may be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner set to the lowest level.

Insulation test

Note: Never use alcohol or other solvents to clean any part of the BeoLab 4000 MKII !

The product must be insulation tested after having been dismantled. Make the test when the set has been reassembled and is ready to be returned to the customer. Flashover must not occur during the test.

Make the insulation test as follows: Short-circuit the two pins of the mains plug and connect them to one of the terminals of the insulation tester. Connect the other terminal to ground on the Power Link socket.

NOTE! To avoid damaging the product it is essential that both terminals of the insulation tester have good contact.

During the test the current must not exceed 10 mA. Slowly increase the voltage on the insulation tester until a voltage of 2.5 kV (ac) is obtained. Maintain the voltage level for one second, then slowly decrease the voltage to 0 V (ac).

Read out the adjustment position of the old potentiometers, R301 & R312, and set the new potentiometers to the same position.

Each loudspeaker is individually adjusted from production to ensure optimal stereo perspective. When replacing a speaker unit or PCB03, Main PCB, bass/treble levels have to be adjusted. On the back of the new speaker unit will be printed a rated value for the sensitivity of the particular unit. The rated value is stated in dB and have to be converted to a mechanical position of the two potentiometers by using table 1 and ﬁg.1.

These two potentiometer are accessible via the two holes in the socket well, see ﬁg. 1.

Hum in loudspeaker when no music is played

Check loudspeaker units

Repair tips 4.1

The Power Link cable must be of type MK III or higher. The ground connection in Power Link cable lower than MK III may be insufﬁcient for optimum sound performance.

The loudspeaker units can be checked by an ohm-meter. OK values for tweeter and woofer are approx. 6 W.

How to check the Switch Mode Power Supply

- Take off the bafﬂe.

- Connect an audio signal (set the input switch corresponding to the applied signal).

- Connect mains, 100 - 240V.

- Conﬁrm 12V standby on PCB02, SMPS P2 pin 6, GND pin 3 (if not OK, replace PCB02, SMPS).

- Conﬁrm 12V HT_ON, on PCB02, SMPS P2 pin 8 (if not OK replace PCB03, Main PCB).

- Conﬁrm ±12V on PCB02, SMPS P2 +12V pin 1, 2 and -12V pin 4, 5 (GND pin 3). If not OK replace PCB02, SMPS.
