WE RECOMMEND THAT ALL SERVICE OPERATIONS
ARE CARRIED OUT BY A TECHNICIAN IN THE MANNER
DESCRIBED IN THIS GUIDE.
IF NOT EXPLICITLY STATED OTHERWISE, DISCONNECT THE
AMPLIFIER FROM THE MAINS BEFORE OPERATING THE

This technical document aims to be a support guide in repairing
and low-voltage testing the IpalMod ampli" er module.
The troubleshooting approach will help you characterize the kind
of fault you incur. A recovery method and the related assembly
outline detail is thoroughly explained for the most common faults.
The components to be replaced are clearly shown to help their
identi" cation. At the end of this guide you can " nd a detailed
list with the description and the respective Powersoft internal
reference code of the spare parts.
Always use an anti-static wrist band while servicing the ampli" er.
Data are subject to change without notice.
