Everything is being run my a microcontroller, thats why they have a bootprom (I believe). So input selection, volume etc..

Good evening! Thank you for this answer, but I do not understand it well !
Can you explain?
Are the EEPROM data they significant?
Many thanks for your help !!

Not sure if this is a correct description (somebody may be able to explain it better) but think of it as pc without the OS. You can turn it on, but are not able to do anything at all. Pretty clever way of protecting a product from cross border imports..
....earlier on the ps audio ps300 was suggested as a solution.......there is no chance that it is able to supply a krell poweramp, it's only good for 300 watts.
it's only able to supply a cdplayer and a preamp and no more.......

When I suggested it, it was for a cd player - not a power amp. All though PS audio makes bigger powerplants, I think the added cost makes it a better deal to pay for the conversion..

dear sir,
i gathered that you have done an oscilloscope for a few of your friends. can you tell me are the tracks in the same general location? ie is it near the microcontroller or near the transformer?
is there a specific number for the track? thanks
i have attached some pics of my eeprom

chalky said:Idly reading through this thread and noticed Huquin's post #137 regarding his Krell 400xi which seemed to power up fine on 110V 50Hz. Does this not suggest that the microcontroller senses the position of the voltage setting switches before it measures the frequency of the incoming mains?
The switches changes the main wiring of the transformer. If they are wrongly set and the amplifier is switched on, the amp receives the wrong voltage and something will surely get fried very badly.
Some more recent versions of Krell amps can operate at both frequencies. It seems all models originally produced for the european market fall into this category.
Re: Re: Re: Need Help !
Am not 100% sure but it seems to contain a few configuration parameters since a few address locations in eeprom space is referenced from the firmware. I think it's only like 6 bytes or so.
samaudio said:Hello ! I have read and desasemble the EEPROM data, and I found some data that content a program code, I presume that is the Talker I had loaded in this memory location...
What is the use of the EEPROM memory in this amplifier ???

Re: to
Am a bit confused; you're interested in checking if a different device uses the same method of frequency check to limit operation at 50Hz? Can you shared with us what device it is?
What you will need to do is to check with an oscilloscope if any of the pins on the mcu carries something resembling a 50 or 100 Hz signal. If you look at my original discovery post at page 13, you'll see that for the 300iL, it's pin 31.

actually my query was directed at philbyx. coz he mentioned that he has done the voltage mod for a few different units of krell by constructing the nand gates.
so i like to check with him if the track which he did the mod on(ie which detect the 60hz signal) is indentical across the different units.
you mean you did the mod too? and its done on pin 31 leading to the motorola microcontroller? not on the eeprom?
if u see my 1st pic, the eeprom containing the sofware version is above the microcontroller

Hello !
Is anybody can supply me the data to write in the EEPROM memory of the Krell 400 XI 68HC711E9 ??
Many thanks for your Help !!

FPB-200
I live in the US and have a FPB-200. I am now moving to Bangladesh and I will bring the Krell.
I also wentg the firmware patch route the code in my 68HC711E9 was slightly different. I had version 1.16 60Hz.
I hope my Krell will work when I get to Bangladesh.

0408: D3AB 180808 INY increase Y
0409: D3AD 01 NOP delay
0410: D3AE 01 NOP delay ( I think this is done to not have an overflow in Y and to debounce the cycle switch)

Hi
I have a Krell KSA50S and i have SW1=1 Open and 2 open
SW2=2? or 1 and it work on 110 50HZ(in live in europe and i use a big transformer 230>110)
I don't have a SW3
What is the modification for 230V 50HZ please?
Thanks you
Coronado

What kind of microcontroller does it have? It might need som patched software to workaround the '60Hz bug'.
In the FPB-200 it was a motorola/freescale MC68HC711E9CFN2. It might be different between series and models.

If you have the amp then you already have the data, you just read it out from the existing microcontroller in the amp.
