Help...lost shorting plug!
Posted by: caddyman on 11 May 2002
I've just fired up an old 42-5/110 and I got no sounds! The shorting plug that goes in the hi-cap socket is missing. I can't get one until next week. I want to use the amps this weekend so i was going to make a temporary one out of a din plug. The problem is i'm not sure which pins i should join together. Is it just the two 24v pins? Thanks in advance.

It's a long time since I used a HiCap but as far as I know you don't need a link plug.
Socket 4 to Pre-amp.
Socket 3 to power.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Perhaps I misunderstood your post. Have you got a HiCap? If not then please ignore my last post.

Thanks for your swift response. I don't have a hi-cap. I'm running the 42-5 from the 110. When not using a hi-cap I understand that a shorting plug is fitted in the hi-cap socket.Well it was on my previous 42-5! Everything lights up but I have no sound.

Pop open the 42.5 (unscrew the four feet and slide tray out of case). Locate the five pin socket. You should see two red wires going from the socket to the PC board. (I'm assuming they are red) These are the two +24 VDC lines. On the five pin socket, these wires connect to the #1 and #5 pins. (ground is the #3 pin and the signals left and right are pins #2 and #4)
All you need to do is run a piece of wire from pin #1 to pin #5. This effectively connects the two +24 VDC rails together. This is all the shorting plug does. But be careful. These are the ONLY wires that should be connected together.

a piece of wire between +24 and -24 will do it
NO!
Connect the two +24 lines together.
Connected -ve to -ve will probably blow up your power supply!!!
cheers, Martin
