phase linear 400

[J!m]

My two cents:

When I’m building up harnesses, I make up lose zip tie rings and feed each wire in, but don’t tighten the ties until everything is in place.

Seems to work well for me. But I haven’t built one of these amps.

Gene
See if this helps? needs to be double checked!
I would use one spade connect for the 2- 22awg wire from the caps 2x (+ and -) if wires are long enough.

thanks music man....that is exactly how i wired mine too....
the drawing is very nice....

I am constantly updating documentation Gene. Eventually each document will have as many pages as this post does...

well, done for today....
i have a few pics for you all...
tomorrow i will take the pinout diagram and double check the wiring...
i only have one thing bothering me...
i had a 5 or 6 inch orange on pad 5....joe called it out....
when i was wiring i discovered that was not the correct place....
where does that wire go??/
i will have to go back through the assembly procedure to find it...
i dont trust that i have all of the wiring there....
i do believe what is there is correct....
any comments or observations is greatly appreciated...
thanks to all...
today is our anniversary....maria and i are entering our 6th hear of our relationship....

not an easy chore....just ask my ex....lololol

todays progress on my wopl 400!!!!

 

[gene french]

found it...that wire is connect to the control board....not the back plane...pad 5L
i think it is ok....

Gene, looking at the photos on a big desktop monitor while typing on the phone.
1. The yellow wires at the top are output wires that eventually feed the speakers jacks. These "fly" across open space between the backplanes and control board and must be kept separate and away from each other and other wires. No zip ties on these, they fly by themselves.
2. Your running the LED board AC wires down under the DC wires. A better way is to run them is up, not down. AC at top, DC at bottom. Check out the photo.
3. Going to post this and look some more at your photos

That above photo is very old. Here's a recent photo of the 400 S2 showing the AC to meters going UP, and the flying yellow output wires.

thank you....
easily redone ...
i understand...
seperating outs will reduce xtalk???
thank you so much for the photo...
that helps a lot...
phase linear wasnt this careful it seems...
dont worry...have plenty of wire and cable ties...
i.appreciate your eyes...and wisdom....
wonder if others are paying attention ..

shielded coax would eleminate that???

 

[George S.]

Gene, the grounds to the DCP (all three) usually run across the bottom.
Coax for the flying yellow output wires? This is a question I have asked Joe. He says leave them flying and yellow, away from the boards and other wires.

 

[George S.]

You still have a white meter signal wire soldered on the left backplane.

Yup, you got it...

 

[George S.]

That black wire your using for "AC input from transformer" for the DCP should be red if you have the wire, and continue to run across the top of the right backplane, then down to the connection on the DCP.
