Re: WTD: Electrolytic Caps

The cap is held to a PCB by it's leads. I'm not crazy about tacking a cap
in place with RTV.

It seems axial leads are getting very scarce.

Thanks,

A CDE TC75202 would be about right. A lead to a supplier that doesn't
have high minimums would also be useful.

These are replacements for use in a Tek FG504.
How about:



2200 ufd, 100 V. Item is radial lead so you will have to run an
insulated wire around to convert it to axial. It is well within your
size constraints.

Re: possiable power supply fault hp16500c

 

ok tom first thing in the morning i will have another go at getting the back cover plate off so i can see that area of the board. i should stop looking at the ridge shop my wish list grows and grows lol, what model/part number would i need to look for to get a Oscilloscope card for it? and are they worth getting or is it better to get a dedicated scope? i do have a DSO but it isnt in the best condition!

That would kill the 120 volt DC. This resistor is near the line voltage switch.

I believe for now you would not need an isolation transformer. Just do some careful looking.

As John stated, if there is no 120 volts, the supply will not work. But there are many things that can shutdown the 120 volt supply.


I need to run now but will be back later.

8340A software update availability

 

Hello all,

I've read in the 8510C service quick reference guide that 8340/41 sources can work with the newer revisions of 8510C firmware C.07.xx and C.08.xx (within feature limitations and with a minimum number of bugs (sigh!)) provided they have a source firmware date of 1992 or later. Does anybody has these 8340 firmwares available or any clue about how to get them?

Thanks! Best regards,

Javier

Hi Tom,

Can you grab a pic of the component side of the supply PCB? It should be
pretty easy to identify what is what, at least in a general sense.

Best,

-John

=====================

Jason, look at the supply near the rear panel (with the AC in connector)
and see if there is a 9100 ohm power resistor. Is it burned out?
That would kill the 120 volt DC. This resistor is near the line voltage
switch.

I believe for now you would not need an isolation transformer. Just do
some careful looking.

As John stated, if there is no 120 volts, the supply will not work. But
there are many things that can shutdown the 120 volt supply.


I need to run now but will be back later.


Regards.
Tom

Re: possiable power supply fault hp16500c

Tom Miller
 

You pretty much see it as I do. The supply can be tested out of the unit if some load is put on the outputs. I sent you a PDF page from the 16500C service manual.

I put 49 ohms 10 watt on the 5 volt output and 49 ohms on the 3.5 volt output to get it going. Also, I jumpered all the sense lines to their respective outputs. See the drawing.

I do get the 120 volt led without any connections to the output connector.

Tom

Yup. A switching downconverter to convert varying line into a stable 120
or so. Expect a rectifier (possibly a doubler for 115 VAC), capacitor,
switching transistor, choke, and freewheeling diode, low ESR capacitor,
plus the chip.

There could be part of linear or switching post-regiulators. Any pass
transistors?

The comparators are probably OVP and/or OCP.

FWIW, if the 120 LED is off, only the pre-reg is likely to be bad.

It would be very useful to know if the PS works properly with no load
connected. Some switchers shut down w/o load on OVP.

Re: possiable power supply fault hp16500c

 

thanks again for all the help. i am working on getting the supply removed but i dont have full strengh in my hands so strugling with a couple of screws :D i will reconect the power once i have the unit removed.
as luck would have it i have a couple of old tv's in the shed so i might scrounge the transformer out of them for a isolating supply.

Ok guys,

This power supply does use some common ICs.

UC3842N - off line PWM switcher -
My first guess is this is the pre-regulator for the 120 volts
Yup. A switching downconverter to convert varying line into a stable 120
or so. Expect a rectifier (possibly a doubler for 115 VAC), capacitor,
switching transistor, choke, and freewheeling diode, low ESR capacitor,
plus the chip.

UC3524N - PWM supply
It seems this switches the 120 volts down to the low voltage outputs
Expect a transformer, a pair of driver transistors, several rectifiers
(bridges or half bridges), filter capacitors.

TL431CP - programmable voltage reference - many used
There could be part of linear or switching post-regiulators. Any pass
transistors?

LM358N - Dual op amp

LM339AN - Quad comparators
The comparators are probably OVP and/or OCP.

NE556N
Very high Tech timers (well it was 1983)


This seems to be a pretty straight forward switching supply. This is from
my non-working spare and I am working through it.
FWIW, if the 120 LED is off, only the pre-reg is likely to be bad.

It would be very useful to know if the PS works properly with no load
connected. Some switchers shut down w/o load on OVP.

Take out the transformers, and connect them back-to-back, using the
high-voltage windings on each. Take the 120V winding on one
for the line connection, and the 120V winding on the other for your
isolated output. If the voltages don't match too well, you
can use the filament windings on each one, in aiding or bucking,
connected to either the line side or the HV side, as required,
to get the in/out ratio to be 1:1. (Where I said 120V, if you're in
Europe, substitute 240V, or whatever you use there.)
Do not connect the ground pin of the female output jack to anything, so
as to maintain isolation.

Ok guys,

This power supply does use some common ICs.

UC3842N - off line PWM switcher -
My first guess is this is the pre-regulator for the 120 volts

UC3524N - PWM supply
It seems this switches the 120 volts down to the low voltage outputs

TL431CP - programmable voltage reference - many used

LM358N - Dual op amp

LM339AN - Quad comparators

NE556N
Very high Tech timers (well it was 1983)


This seems to be a pretty straight forward switching supply. This is from my
non-working spare and I am working through it.

Regards,
Tom

Thanks for the link to the 141T work done by F1FRV. Now that's very clever. While it lacks some graphical bells and whistles, it gets the basic job done.

Re: possiable power supply fault hp16500c

 

@Brad thanks for the tip!! i will be looking at getting/making a isolation transformer, better to be safe than sorry!.
@tom. cheers for the offer, looks like i may well go with ridge as the chances of one coming up on uk ebay are very very slim! is a case of getting the money together, i feel a bit stupid now but i paid out ?800 for the analyzer and that took some saving up for! so a bit skint at present, still is great to know there is a good chance to get it working, once it is working i wont feel so bad about what i paid for it :D
once i gain a bit more experiance i will tackle the busted PSU if i can fix it at some point then is a handy spare! we dont often have what you call yard sales but we have a near equivelant called car boot sales where people gather on wet sunday mornings in the middle of a field put a table up and sell the stuff they had origanaly decided to throw in a skip!

Hi Jason,

Getting a working spare power supply sounds like the way to go. I dont know how your tax system works but if you get the supply from Ridge, I can pick it up and just send it to you so you don't get hit for a too large bill. But check with them to be sure.

As to an isolation transformer, here is one that looks good:



A bit cheaper here:



600 VA, 120/240 volts 50/60 Hz should do well for most switching supply servicing.

Hello, Jason and the group--

I'd recommend that you look locally for one or two transformers, as shipping for a heavy tranny would be very expensive.

You can improvise an isolation transformer by connecting two identical
transformers as follows (i.e., AC line to low voltage and low voltage to isolated AC line voltage):

240VAC--->12 VAC 12 VAC---> 240 VAC

The secondary current ratings should match or exceed the isolated bower requirement. If you need isolated 240 VAC at 1 ampere (240 volt-amperes), the 12V secondary should be rated for 12 VAC at 20
amperes (minimum).

Keep a lookout for stepdown transformers used for low-voltage yard lighting. I've found a couple of these here in the U.S. at yard sales.
Dunno what the U.K. equivalent might be called, but here in the colonies
we drag our unwanted household and garage items onto the lawn, attach
price stickers, and put up signs to attract prospective purchasers.
Sometimes items circulate among several owners before getting repurchased by the original seller.

But I digress.

Another possible source of suitable trannys with isolated windings is
scrapped industrial-control equipment-- here's a description of one
version:



You might want to check with local scrapyards or industrial-machinery
suppliers for a suitable used transformer.

Lastly, always check the voltage under load as delivered by the isolated secondary.

WTD: Electrolytic Caps

J. Forster
 

I'm looking for two electrolytic caps:

Axial lead
1500 uF (1500-2200 OK)
75 Volt (75-100 OK)
Max OD 1"
Max Length 2 1/2"

A CDE TC75202 would be about right. A lead to a supplier that doesn't
have high minimums would also be useful.

These are replacements for use in a Tek FG504.

Thanks,

> What is the speed of the old Tek and HP X/Y monitors?

The question is: are those fast enough to be used to replace
what was inside the box of various otherwise useful HP
instruments.

I'm also more than willing to have potentially extra functionality
included, perhaps bypassing some of the circuitry in the instrument.
My favorite would be to have a swept FFT by taking in directly
the baseband output from a SA -- with a 16 bit ADC it should be feasible.

I'm also looking at digitizing the frequency of the LO outputs from
a SA to obtain precise frequency for any part of the display.
I think I previously incorrectly said digitizing IF -- that's of course
possible, but it'd be the last IF if anything. Inputting any number of
LOs and digitizing their frequency should be very simple, as would be
calculating the resulting center frequency. I think the hardest part would
be to make sure my device won't pollute the LOs, so I'd be learning some
new tricks too.

My starting point is to run my 7L14 with a mainframe with no CRT, then to
tap LO1 and LO2 outputs for precise center frequency, then to tap directly
into the last IF output before the video processor (detector, LOG/LIN,
digitizer).

I can't really afford to get various other instruments that this would work with,
so I thought it'll be easier to ask for ideas instead of having to rummage
through downloads of HP manuals.

So my appeal is as follows, to make it easy and technical: if you have a SA
or another instrument that you'd like to get a replacement display for, give me
the specs on its X-Y-Z outputs, and also on the LO frequency ranges and
levels -- obviously if those LOs are available as outputs without disassembly.
That's give me some idea as to how to set up the signal processing (gains,
bandwidths, etc).
