PRECAUTIONS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SERVICE SERVICE WARNING Only qualified service technicians who are familiar with safety checks and guidelines should perform service work. Before replacing parts, disconnect power source to protect electrostatically sensitive parts. Do not attempt to modify any circuit unless so recommended by the manufacturer. When servicing the receiver, use an isolation transformer between the line cord and power receptacle. SAFETY CHECKS -- FIRE AND SHOCK HAZARD SET 4631 Leakag Checks for Receivers Ground Cold Leakage Checks for Receivers with Isolated Ground Unplug the AC cord, connect a jumper across the plug prongs, and turn the power switch on (if applicable). Use an ohmmeter to measure the resistance between the jumped AC plug and any exposed metal cabinet parts such as antenna screw heads, control shafts, or handle brackets. Exposed metal parts with a return path should measure between 1M ohms and 5.2M ohms. Parts without a return path must measure infinity. 4631 Technical Service Data INDEX SERVICING OLT CRT SERVICING THE HIGH VOLTAGE AND CRT Use EXTREME CAUTION when servicing the high voltage circuits. To discharge static high voltage, connect a 10K ohms resistor in series with a test lead between the receiver ground and CRT anode lead. DO NOT lift the CRT by the neck. Always wear shatterproof goggles when handling the CRT to protect eyes in case of implosion. Leakag Check Hot Leakage Current Check Plug the AC cord directly into an AC outlet. DO NOT use an isolation transformer. Use a 1500 ohms, 10W resistor in parallel with a .15µF capacitor to connect between any exposed metal parts on the receiver and a good earth ground. (See figure below.) Use an AC voltmeter with at least 5000 ohms per volt sensitivity to measure the voltage across the resistor. Check all exposed metal parts and measure voltage at each point. Voltage measurements should not exceed .75VAC, 500µA. Any value exceeding this limit constitutes a potential shock hazard and must be corrected. If the AC plug is not polarized, reverse the AC plug and repeat exposed metal part voltage measurement at each point. X-RAY RADIATION OLT X-RAY RADIATION AND HIGH VOLTAGE LIMITS Be aware of the instructions and procedures covering X-ray radiation. In solid-state receivers and monitors, the CRT is the only potential source of X-rays. Keep an accurate high voltage meter available at all times. Check meter calibration periodically. Whenever servicing a receiver, check the high voltage at various brightness levels to be sure it is regulating properly. Keep high voltage at rated value, NO HIGHER. Excessive high voltage may cause X-ray radiation or failure of associated components. DO NOT depend on protection circuits to keep voltage at rated value. When troubleshooting a receiver with excessive high voltage, avoid close contact with the CRT. DO NOT operate the receiver longer than necessary. To locate the cause of excessive high voltage, use a variable AC transformer
