SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Many electrical and mechanical parts in this chassis have special safety-related characteristics. These parts are identified by in the Schematic Diagram and Replacement Parts List. It is essential that these special safety parts should be replaced with the same components as recommended in this manual to prevent X-RADIATION, Shock, Fire, or other Hazards. Do not modify the original design without permission of manufacturer.

General Guidance

An lsolation Transformer should always be used during the servicing of a receiver whose chassis is not isolated from the AC power line. Use a transformer of adequate power rating as this protects the technician from accidents resulting in personal injury from electrical shocks.

It will also protect the receiver and it's components from being damaged by accidental shorts of the circuitary that may be inadvertently introduced during the service operation.

If any fuse (or Fusible Resistor) in this TV receiver is blown, replace it with the specified.

When replacing a high wattage resistor (Oxide Metal Film Resistor, over 1W), keep the resistor 10mm away from PCB.

Keep wires away from high voltage or high temperature parts.

Due to high vacuum and large surface area of picture tube, extreme care should be used in handling the Picture Tube. Do not lift the Picture tube by it's Neck.

X-RAY Radiation

Warning:

To determine the presence of high voltage, use an accurate high impedance HV meter.

Adjust brightness, color, contrast controls to minimum. Measure the high voltage. The meter reading should indicate

23.5

¡ 1.5KV: 14-19 inch, 26 ¡ 1.5KV: 19-21 inch,

29.0 ¡ 1.5KV: 25-29 inch, 30.0 ¡ 1.5KV: 32 inch If the meter indication is out of tolerance, immediate service and correction is required to prevent the possibility of premature component failure.

Before returning the receiver to the customer,

always perform an AC leakage current check on the exposed metallic parts of the cabinet, such as antennas, terminals, etc., to be sure the set is safe to operate without damage of electrical shock.

Leakage Current Cold Check(Antenna Cold Check)

With the instrument AC plug removed from AC source, connect an electrical jumper across the two AC plug prongs. Place the AC switch in the on positioin, connect one lead of ohm-meter to the AC plug prongs tied together and touch other ohm-meter lead in turn to each exposed metallic parts such as antenna terminals, phone jacks, etc. If the exposed metallic part has a return path to the chassis, the measured resistance should be between 1MΩ and 5.2MΩ. When the exposed metal has no return path to the chassis the reading must be infinite. An other abnormality exists that must be corrected before the receiver is returned to the customer.

Leakage Current Hot Check (See below Figure)

Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet.

Do not use a line Isolation Transformer during this check.

Connect 1.5K/10watt resistor in parallel with a 0.15uF capacitor between a known good earth ground (Water Pipe, Conduit, etc.) and the exposed metallic parts. Measure the AC voltage across the resistor using AC voltmeter with 1000 ohms/volt or more sensitivity. Reverse plug the AC cord into the AC outlet and repeat AC voltage measurements for each esposed metallic part. Any voltage measured must not exceed 0.75 volt RMS which is corresponds to 0.5mA. In case any measurement is out of the limits sepcified, there is possibility of shock hazard and the set must be checked and repaired before it is returned to the customer.

Leakage Current Hot Check circuit

The source of X-RAY RADIATION in this TV receiver is the High Voltage Section and the Picture Tube. For continued X-RAY RADIATION protection, the replacement tube must be the same type tube as specified in the Replacement Parts List.

DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Important note

This set is disconnected from the power supply through the converter transformer. An isolating transformer is necessary for service operations on the primary side of the converter transformer.

Back Cabinet Removal

Remove the screws residing on the back cabinet and carefully separate the back cabinet from the front cabinet. (Fig. 2-1).

Chassis Assy Removal

Grasp both side of Frame and pull it backward smoothly.

CPT Removal

1. Pull out the CPT board from the CPT neck.

2. Place the front cabinet on soft material not to mar the front surface or damage control knobs.

3. Remove 4 screws securing the picture tube mounting brackets to the front cabinet.

4. Carefully separate CPT from the front cabinet.

PICTURE TUBE HANDLING CAUTION

Due to high vacuum and large surface area of picture tube, great care must be exercised when handling picture tube. Always lift picture tube by grasping it firmly around faceplate. NEVER LIFT TUBE BY ITS NECK! The picture tube must not be scratched or subjected to excessive pressure as fracture of glass may result in an implosion of considerable violence which can cause personal injury or property damage.
