Behringer UB2442FX Mixer Schematic/voltages Needed
I have a Behringer UB2442FX Eurorack mixer. Before the flames start,
I liked it, when it was working. It did exactly what I needed. It died, out of warranty, and the switching power supply looks to be toasty. Behringer US doesn't have PS modules yet, so it looks like board level repair is where it's at. It uses very close to a demo circuit from Power Integrations from their TOP245Y chip. However, I don't know what the final voltages are other than there should be a +5V (Based on the 7805 regulator) and there should be a 48V. There are 5 voltages available, guessing from the connector. ANyone help out with at least the voltages coming out of this doohickey would be appreciated. Any other help would also be appreciated. Thanks Jake Joseph |

There are 5 voltages available, guessing from the connector. I'd guess a +15V and a -15V. Maybe a little higher, but probably not much higher than that. If it's a switching supply, my guess is that the regulation is probably done using the 5V line as a reference. If it were done properly, they'd be using the difference between the +15V and -15V rails as as reference, though. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

Almost always +/-15VDC. What are the rated voltages on the caps?
Most of that Chinese stuff uses 16V caps on the rails. LV Jake Joseph wrote: I have a Behringer UB2442FX Eurorack mixer. Before the flames start, I liked it, when it was working.

Well, you are right about the 5V - it gets its reference off of the 5V - shoots this through a TL431 regulator. I'm guessing that either the switcher has gone bad or the optoisolator xsistor has gone bad...any good way to diagnose? Diode tester function on a multimeter will help you check the switching transistor in-circuit. You can do the same with the optoisolator. You can't find all possible failures in-circuit but you can find some of them. Worst case you pull it out, test the switching transtor with the Hfe function on your multimeter and swap out the optoisolator (being sure to put a socket on the optoisolator because this will happen again someday). Switching supplies are no fun to fix, because you can't get them running to do diagnosis. A storage scope can help a lot. Don't forget the kickstart circuit either, which is a source of failure in a lot of switching supplies. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

Thanks Jake Joseph Simple, quick, common fix; one of the secondary rectifiers is shorted (usually Ref #D6), be sure to replace with a 'fast' rectifier (we use # HER508). Cheers, -Robert QTS http://www.Braught.com (Authorized BEHRINGER Service) Real Email Addy : (Remove NoSpam to Reply : Duh!) Thanks to all that helped! I think the secondary diode is bad. Scott is right, these sure are not fun to diagnose - I'm used to tube amp PS's which are a whole lot easier.... The fast diode is to cope with the frequency of the switcher - right? |
