Premier Service Center Certification: Excellence In Technical Service

If a customer or end-user attempts to repair a unit by themselves, the unit should not be covered under warranty. Unauthorized repair by a non-professional can potentially cause more harm to the unit and void any warranty coverage. Warranty typically covers defects in materials or workmanship, but not damages caused by unauthorized repairs. Therefore, if the customer or end-user attempts to repair the unit on their own, the warranty coverage should not apply.

A burnt voice coil would cause a repair not to be covered under warranty because it is likely the result of misuse or overloading of the speaker. A burnt voice coil indicates that the speaker has been subjected to excessive heat or power, which is not covered under warranty as it is considered user error.

QSC repairs products outside of its warranty period.

The correct answer is on the Service Center Log-In page and on the main QSC website. This is because the QSC technical documentation can be accessed immediately through these platforms. The Service Center Log-In page is likely to provide detailed information and resources specifically for QSC products and services. Additionally, the main QSC website is a reliable source for technical documentation as it is the official platform for the company.

If the voice coil on a non-powered speaker like the AD-S82 becomes unwound due to poor glue application, it would cause a repair to be covered under warranty. This means that if the voice coil, which is responsible for producing sound, becomes detached or loose from its intended position due to inadequate glue application, the manufacturer would be responsible for repairing or replacing the speaker under warranty.

These types of documents provide important information and updates regarding the products and services offered by QSC. By staying informed and adhering to these documents, the Authorized Service Centers can ensure that they are providing the most accurate and up-to-date support to their customers. The other options, such as documentation on brand new products, datasheets of electronic parts, and screwdriver owner's manual, are not mentioned as expectations for the Authorized Service Centers by QSC.

QSC expects Authorized Service Centers to deliver an on-going turnaround time period of 3 to 5 days. This means that when customers bring their products to an Authorized Service Center for repair or service, the center is expected to complete the work and return the product within this time frame. This ensures that customers do not have to wait too long for their products to be fixed, enhancing customer satisfaction and minimizing downtime for the customers.

The correct answer is "Defective material and/or workmanship." QSC's New Product Limited Warranty guarantees that their products are free from any defects in materials or workmanship. This means that if there are any issues with the product's construction or if it is made using faulty materials, QSC will take responsibility for it and provide a solution or replacement.

Refurbished stock or C-Stock is covered under warranty for a period of 1 year. This means that if any issues arise with the refurbished product within this timeframe, the manufacturer or seller will provide repairs or replacements free of charge. It is important to note that this warranty period may vary depending on the specific product or seller, but in this case, the correct answer is 1 year.

The correct answer is QSC replacement parts. For warranty repair, it is important to use the same type of active parts that were originally used in the product. QSC replacement parts are specifically designed and manufactured by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to ensure compatibility and performance. Substituted parts by another manufacturer may not meet the same specifications and could potentially cause issues. Parts with exactly the same specifications bought from reputable electronic parts distributors like Digikey are also acceptable as they ensure the quality and compatibility of the parts. Factory certified donut holes are not relevant to electronic repairs.

The recommended equipment at an Authorized Service Center that is also seen on the TSG repair bench are the 8ohm x 4 Load bank resistors. These resistors are commonly used in electronic testing and troubleshooting to simulate a load on a circuit or device. They help in testing the performance and functionality of the equipment being repaired.

Service Centers and Distributors should not handle any type of voltage conversions. This implies that they should not be responsible for converting voltage from 120 V to 230 V or vice versa, nor should they handle any other type of voltage conversion such as from 120 Vac to 10 Vdc.

The maximum labor time in hours on QSC's warranty labor reimbursements without needing approval is 2.

These kits likely contain all the necessary components and tools needed to fix the common failures, making it more convenient and efficient for technicians to carry out repairs.

The correct answer is overpowering, broken speaker terminals, melted crossover board, and rust or corrosion on the enclosure. These types of failures are not covered under warranty because they are typically caused by misuse, improper handling, or environmental factors that are beyond the manufacturer's control. Overpowering the speaker can cause damage to the internal components, while broken speaker terminals, melted crossover board, and rust or corrosion on the enclosure indicate physical damage or exposure to moisture, which can affect the performance and durability of the speaker.

If an Authorized Service Center cannot repair a warranted QSC product, it should be sent for QSC Factory Service only as a last resort.

It implies that the Authorized Service Center should attempt to repair the product using all available means and resources before considering sending it to the QSC Factory Service.
