Low output voltage
1. Measure voltage at the
(lower than rating)
base of Q5.
2. Eliminate current limit
circuit as a source of
trouble by disconnecting
anode of CR11.
3. Measure voltage at pin
3 of U6.
SYMPTOM
The +20V supply must operate properly before troubleshooting the -20V supply.
High output voltage
1. Attempt to turn off Q8 by
(more than 1%
shorting emitter-to-base
greater than +20V

supply in fixed
tracking ratio mode)
2. Measure voltage at
base of Q7.
Low output voltage
1. Measure voltage at the

base of Q7.
than +20V supply in
fixed tracking ratio
mode)
2. Eliminate current limit
circuit as a source of
trouble by disconnecting
anode of CR18.
3. Measure voltage at pin
3 of U8.
