1. No modification
of
any circuit should
be
attempted for continued
safety,
2.
Disconnect
tne
AC plug from the
AC
outlet before repillcing parIS.

Semiconductor heat sinks should
be
regarded
as
potential stlock

Use
an isolatIOn transformer between the line cord and power

when servicing ttlis chassis.
;;ERVICING Of' HIGH
VOl
T AGE SYSTEM AND PICTURE
TUBE
When servicing the high voltage system, remove the static charge
by
connecting
a 10K ohm Resistor in series with an Insulated wire
(such as a test
probe)
between ttle chassis
and
the
anode
lead. (AC
!llle cOfd should
be
disconnected
from AC outlet,)

Picture
tube
in this receiver employs integral Implosion protectIOn.
2.
Replace with
tube
of the
same
type
number
for continued safety.
3 Do not lift picture tube
by
the neck.
4 Handle the piclure tube only
when
weanng shatter-proof goggles
and
after discharging the
high
voltage completely.
X RADIATION
AND
HIGH VOLTAGE LIMITS
1. Be sure
your
service personnel are aware of the procedures
and
instructions
covenng
X-radiation The only potential sources of
X-
ray

receivers
is
the picture tube. However,
the picture
tube
does
not emit measurable X-ray radiations
if
the
high voltage
is
kept at factory·set levels
It
is
only
when
hlQh
voltage
IS
excessive that X -radiatIOn
is
capable
of penetraling the shell of the picture tube including the lead
In
glass matenal. The important precautIOn
IS
to keep the
hlQh
voltage
at factory-set
leVels,
q
It
is essential that servicemen have available at all times an
accurate high voltage meter. The calibration of this meter should
be
checked
periodically.
3.
High voltage should always
be
kept at rated value
no
higher.
Operalion
at higher voltages
may
cause a failure of the picture
tube
or
high
vo~age
Circuitry and, also,
under
certain conditIOnS,
may produce radiatIOn
In
excess of desirable levels When the high
voltage regulator
is
operating properly there
is
no possibility of
an X-radiation problem. Every time a color chassis
IS
serviced, the
brightness should
be
tested while monitonng the high voltage with
a meter to
be
certain that
the
high voltage does not exceed the
specified value and that it is regulating correctly.

BEFORE RETURNING THE RECEIVER (Fife &
Shoctc
Hullrd)
BefOfe returnlf1g the receiver to the user, perform the follooMng
safety checks.
1. Inspect
aN
lead dress to
make
certain that leads are not pinched
Of
that hardware
IS
nd
lodged between the chassis and other
rne1a1
parts in the
rec~ver.
2. Inspect all protective devices such as non-metallic control knobs.
IllSUlating fish papers,
cabinet backs, adjustment and compartment
covers
or
shields,
isolation resistor-capacity netwOfks. mechanical
insulators etc.
3. To
be
sure that
no
shock hazard exists, check for leakage cur-
rent in the following manner,
• Plug
the AC line
cord
directly into a 120 volt AC outlet.
(Do not use an isolatIOn transformer for
thiS
test)
• Using two clip leads,
connect
a 1,5K ohm. 10 watt resistor
paralleled by a
0
.15uF
capacitor
in
series with
an
exposed metal
cab4net parts
and a known
earth
ground,
such as water pipe
or
conduit
• Use a
VTVM
or
YOM
with 1000
ohm
per volt, or higher.
sensitivity to measure
the AC voltage
drop
across the resistor
(See Diagram).
• Move
tne
resistor connection to earth exposed metal part hav-
ing a return path to
the chassis (antenna. metal cabinet,
screw
heads. knobs and control
shafts,
escutcheon, etc.) and measure
the AC voltage
drop
across the resistOf.
All checks must
be
repeated with the AC line
cord
plug con-
nection reversed.
(If
necessary, a non-polarized
adapter
plug
must
be
used only for the purpose of comple\lng these checks.)
Any reading of 0.3 volt RMS (this corresponds to
0.2
milliamp.
AC.)
or
more is exces5lve and Indicates a potential stlock hazard
Which must
be
corrected before returning the receiver to the
owner.
