Input Voltage 

 
Normal input voltage for the 

AC Remote Amplifier Control Unit

 is 120 VAC at 50/60 Hz.  

However, Michigan Scientic Corp. can modify the 

AC Remote Amplifier Control Unit

 to use 220 

VAC or 240 VAC at 50/60 Hz.  If the unit has been modified, it will be indicated on the rear 
panel near the power cord.   
 
 
 
 
 

Troubleshooting 

 
 

Symptom 

Possible Cause 

Test to Verify Problem 

Solution 

+15 V shorted to common 

Remove cable from output 

connector 

Find short and fix it 

+15 V shorted to –15 V 

Remove cable from output 

connector 

Find short and fix it 

Blown fuse 

Check resistance across 

fuse 

Replace fuse
