NOTES
1. The heavy notes on the schematic denote the primary
signal path.
2. Unless otherwise noted, all voltages indicated on the schematics are measured under the following conditions: a. AC input at 120 volts, 50/60Hz. b. All voltages are +/-10% with respect to ground. A
high impedance (10 megaohm) voltmeter must be used.
3 . Unless otherwise specified:
a. Resistor values are in ohms. b. Capacitor values are microfarads (uF). c. Inductor values are in microhenries (uH).
4 . On PC board drawings, Square pad indicates:
a. Polarized Capacitors - Positive b. Diodes - Cathode c. Others - Pin 1
5. WARNING
Parts marked with the symbol have critical characteristics. Use only replacement parts recomĀ­mended by the manufacturer.
