A couple years ago, I swapped the original (7A2) battery for a car
battery and had to be careful, because I measured some 90V or so,
between the housing and battery terminals.
It all went good until
the day I accidentally misplaced the setting on my multimeter; instead
of the voltage measuring setting, I had it on Amp setting. Result: It
shorted the circuit, the house fuses went off and now my 525bt only
works via battery supply, running only about 5 minutes after switching
on the main switch of the unit. The 5 fuses of the unit are all O.K.;
nothing looks burned.
I'm a fourty year experienced hobby electronics fan and would need a circuit schematic to find and repair the damage.
In
the worst case I thought of powering the unit via two 13V/4Amp
transformers in (parallel phase)via a bridge rectifier, a 60oooMF/16V
electrolytic capacitor and an automotive relay, switching over to
battery PS in case power failure.
The only problem I then would
have is: how to get rid of that timed 5 minutes automatic turn off
cycle??? It must be in that IC or is there a timing cap responsible for
it? What to do? I would greatly appreciate some advice on that.
