174 Frequency Synthesizer Fault Finding TM9100 Service Manual© Tait Electronics Limited August 2005Task 3 —14V Power SupplyFirst check the output VCL SUPPLY from the SMPS, which is itself providedwith a 9V DC supply from a 9V regulator in the PSU module.1. Remove the main-board assembly from the chassis.2. Place the radio in CCTM.3. Measure the SMPS output VCL SUPPLY at the via between C531 andR530 (see Figure 9.2).4. If the SMPS output is correct, go to Task 4. If it is not, go to Step 5.5. Check the 9 V supply at Q500 and R533 (see Figure 9.3).6. If the voltage is correct, go to Step 7. If it is not, the 9V regulatorIC601 is suspect; go to Task 3 of “Power Supply Fault Finding” onpage 158.7. Remove the FCL TOP can and check the SMPS circuit based on Q500,Q502 and L502 (see Figure 9.3).Remove the SYN BOT can and check IC504 and IC505 for shorts(see Figure 9.4); replace any suspect IC.8. If a fault is found, repair the circuit, confirm the removal of the fault,and go to “Final Tasks” on page 147. If the repair failed or no faultcould be found, replace the main-board assembly and go to “FinalTasks” on page 147.C531: 14.2 V ± 0.3 DCQ500 and R533: 9.0 V ± 0.3 DC
