24. Position the two portions of the AC power cord
grommet around the cord where it extends out of
rear of the cabinet top, as shown in Fig. 29A. Using slip-joint pliers, insert the grommet into the
hole in the rear of the cabinet top as shown in Fig.
29BYou
will have to squeeze the grommet quite
hard with the pliers so that the power cord is
formed into a “U” inside the grommet, and the
grommet is compressed enough to fit into the
hole.
-
25. Locate the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and the
test points. Insert and solder
TPl
through
TPl9
into the PCB. The test points are inserted from
the component side of the PCB and soldered to
the copper on the solder side of the
PCB.
Refer
to Fig. 30 and the the silkscreened legend on the
component side of the PCB for the test point
locations.

From the solder side (bottom) of the PCB thread
the transformer leads through the holes in the
PCB as shown in Fig.
3O.Then,
from the component side (top) of the PCB, thread the stripped
and tinned wire ends through the holes marked
YL, BL and
BK.
Solder these five wires to the
PCB, and cut off any excess lead length. Note:
This is done so when the board is handled during
component installation and testing, the wires
won’t bend and break at the weak points where
the wire insulation stops and the tinned copper
wire goes through the PCB.
AC VOLTAGE WAVEFORMS AND VALUES
DISCUSSION
Measuring a DC voltage is simple and straight forward.
Shown on a graph, the voltage of an automobile battery
would appear as a straight horizontal line. In Fig.
31
the
ver-
tical
axis shows the magnitude of the voltage being meas-
ured, and the horizontal axis represents time. The time
shown on the graph would be in the order of several
sec.
ends,
the time it takes for the meter pointer to stabilize and
for you to accurately read the
meter.The
graph shows that
the meter test probes were connected to the the battery at
