This technical document aims to be a support guide in repairing

and low-voltage testing the DigiMod 500, 1000, 1500, 2000HV,

1000NPS Modules.

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.

In case of any faults in the aforementioned components,

please refer to the table below when ordering the Repair Kit.

Checking the Fan and Fan’s Driver (DigiMod1500, 2000HV only)

During the module’s booting procedure, the fan spins at full speed for a brief period of time.

A rst indication of any fault in the fan or the fan’s driver is the absence of the aforementioned passage.

In case of any fault, remove the fan from the casing and test it by supplying it with +24 Vdc.

If the fan begins to spin, the fault is in the fan’s driver, by contrast, if the fan does not begin to spin, the fault coulbe be in both the fan

and its driver.

Take care in mounting the fan with the label facing downwards, and use the original screws, longer ones could damage the capacitor’s bank.

Please refer to the table below if there is a fault in the Fan or the Fan’s driver.

DigiMod 500 | 1000 | 1500 | 2000HV

Using a M5 Socketed Wrench, and a regular M5 Wrench, remove all 9 screws and nuts highlighted in the pictures below.

Proceed by removing the retainer spring holding the Zobel resistor in place.

The image below portrays all 8 screws needed to be removed in order to separate the PCB from its casing.

It is now possible to carefully lift the main PCB out of its casing.
