Prommer Service Manual 3 Introduction This manual is divided into two sections. The first section is designed to assist the service technician in testing and troubleshooting the Oberheim Prommer MIDI Audio sampler / PROM programmer. The second section is a programming reference for the Prommer for those who wish to write application programs for the Prommer. The reader should have a basic knowledge of electronics and microprocessor systems, and be familiar with standard repair techniques. Power Supply Adjustment The first step in testing is the calibration of the +5 volt power supply. This is the only adjustment necessary for correct operation. Open the unit by removing the two screws under the front edge and lifting the front panel open. With AC power ON, connect the common lead of a DC voltmeter to ground and probe the +5 volt test point (the lower end of resistors R81 and R82). Now, adjust the trimmer VR1 (near the upper right corner of the processor board) until the measured voltage is 5.00 volts +/- 10 millivolts. You may verify the correct operation of the other power supply voltages on the processor board now. There are no adjustments for the other supplies, but they should be within the specified ranges. Voltage Test point location +12v +/- 600mv Pin 4, U18 (TL084) -12v +/- 600mv Pin 11, U18 (TL084) -5.1v +/- 500mv Pin 7, U14 (4051) -35v +/- 5 volts D7 anode +35 volts +/- 5 volts Q1 collector -4.1v +/- 100mv Pin 1, U9 (TL082) Initialization The first time the unit is powered up, the RAM will contain random data. The display will read CHECK BATTERY if the unit has never been initialized or if a memory loss has occurred. To clear the CHECK BATTERY message, initialize all system and block variables and erase all sound storage RAM, turn the unit off, press and hold the CLEAR key, and turn the power back on. Continue holding the CLEAR button until the display lights.
