PRODUCT SAFETY SERVICING GUIDELINES FOR AUDIO-VIDEO PRODUCTS
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
This manual was prepared for use only by properly trained audio-visual service
technicians.
When servicing this product, under no circumstances should the original
design be modified or altered without permission from Zenith Electronics
Corporation. All components should be replaced only with types identical to
those in the original circuit and their physical location, wiring and lead dress
must conform to original layout upon completion of repairs.
Special components are also used to prevent x-radiation, shock and fire hazard.
These components are indicated by the letter “x” included in their component
designators and are required to maintain safe performance. No deviations are
allowed without prior approval by Zenith Electronics Corporation.
Circuit diagrams may occasionally differ from the actual circuit used. This way,
implementation of the latest safety and performance improvement changes into
the set is not delayed until the new service literature is printed.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to modify this product in any way. Never perform
customized installations without manufacturer’s approval. Unauthorized
modifications will not only void the warranty, but may lead to property damage
or user injury.
Service work should be performed only after you are thoroughly familiar with
these safety checks and servicing guidelines.
GRAPHIC SYMBOLS
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended
to alert the service personnel to important safety information in
the service literature.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the service personnel to the presence
of noninsulated “dangerous voltage” that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.
The pictorial representation of a fuse and its rating within an
equilateral triangle is intended to convey to the service personnel
the following fuse replacement caution notice:
CAUTION: FOR CONTINUED PROTECTION AGAINST RISK OF FIRE,
REPLACE ALL FUSES WITH THE SAME TYPE AND RATING AS MARKED
NEAR EACH FUSE.
SERVICE INFORMATION
While servicing, use an isolation transformer for protection from AC line shock.
After the original service problem has been corrected, make a check of the
following:
FIRE AND SHOCK HAZARD
1. Be sure that all components are positioned to avoid a possibility of
adjacent component shorts. This is especially important on items transported to and from the repair shop.
2. Verify that all protective devices such as insulators, barriers, covers,
shields, strain reliefs, power supply cords, and other hardware have been
reinstalled per the original design. Be sure that the safety purpose of the
polarized line plug has not been defeated.
3. Soldering must be inspected to discover possible cold solder joints, solder
splashes, or sharp solder points. Be certain to remove all loose foreign
particles.
4. Check for physical evidence of damage or deterioration to parts and components, for frayed leads or damaged insulation (including the AC cord), and
replace if necessary.
5. No lead or component should touch a receiving tube or a resistor rated at
1 watt or more. Lead tension around protruding metal surfaces must be
avoided.
6. After re-assembly of the set, always perform an AC leakage test on all exposed
metallic parts of the cabinet (the channel selector knobs, antenna terminals,
handle and screws) to be sure that set is safe to operate without danger of
electrical shock. DO NOT USE A LINE ISOLATION TRANSFORMER DURING THIS
TEST. Use an AC voltmeter having 5000 ohms per volt or more sensitivity in
the following manner: Connect a 1500 ohm, 10 watt resistor, paralleled by
a .15 mfd 150V AC type capacitor between a known good earth ground
water pipe, conduit, etc.) and the exposed metallic parts, one at a time.
Measure the AC voltage across the combination of 1500 ohm resistor and
.15 mfd capacitor. Reverse the AC plug by using a non-polarized adaptor
and repeat AC voltage measurements for each exposed metallic part. Voltage
measured must not exceed 0.75 volts RMS. This corresponds to 0.5 milliamp
AC. Any value exceeding this limit constitutes a potential shock hazard and
must be corrected immediately.

X-RADIATION
1. Be sure procedures and instructions to all service personnel cover the
subject of x-radiation. The only potential source of x-rays in current TV
receivers is the picture tube. However, this tube does not emit x-rays when
the HV is at the factory-specified level. The proper value is given in the
applicable schematic. Operation at higher voltages may cause a failure of
the picture tube or high-voltage supply and, under certain circumstances
may produce radiation in excess of desirable levels.
2. Only factory-specified CRT anode connectors must be used.
3. It is essential that the service personnel have available an accurate and
reliable high-voltage meter.
4. When the high-voltage circuitry is operating properly, there is no possibility
of an x-radiation problem. Every time a color chassis is serviced, the
brightness should be run up and down while monitoring 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.
5. When troubleshooting and making test measurements in a product with a
problem of excessively high voltage, avoid being unnecessarily close to
the picture tube and the high voltage power supply. Do not operate the
product longer than necessary to locate the cause of excessive voltage.
6. Refer to HV, B+, and shutdown adjustment procedures described in the
appropriate schematics and diagrams (where used).
IMPLOSION
1. All direct view picture tubes are equipped with an integral implosion
protection system; take care to avoid damage during installation.
2. Use only the recommended factory replacement tubes.
TIPS ON PROPER INSTALLATION
1. Never install any receiver in a closed-in recess, cubbyhole, or closely
fitting shelf space over, or close to, a heat duct, or in the path of heated
air flow.
2. Avoid conditions of high humidity such as: outdoor patio installations
where dew is a factor, near steam radiators where steam leakage is a factor,
etc.
3. Avoid placement where draperies may obstruct venting. The customer
should also avoid the use of decorative scarves or other coverings that
might obstruct ventilation.
4. Wall- and shelf-mounted installations using a commercial mounting kit
must follow the factory-approved mounting instructions. A product mounted
to a shelf or platform must retain its original feet (or the equivalent
thickness in spacers) to provide adequate air flow across the bottom. Bolts
or screws used for fasteners must not touch any parts or wiring. Perform
leakage tests on customized installations.
5. Caution customers against mounting a product on a sloping shelf or in a
tilted position, unless the receiver is properly secured.
6. A product on a roll-about cart should be stable in its mounting to the cart.
Caution the customer on the hazards of trying to roll a cart with small
casters across thresholds or deep pile carpets.
7. Caution customers against using a cart or stand that has not been listed
by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. for use with its specific model of
television receiver or generically approved for use with TVs of the same or
larger screen size.
8. Caution customers against using extension cords. Explain that a forest of
extensions, sprouting from a single outlet, can lead to disastrous
consequences to home and family.

PRODUCT SAFETY SERVICING GUIDELINES FOR AUDIO-VIDEO PRODUCTS
HIGH VOLTAGE AND X-RADIATION PROTECTION
A potential source of x-rays is the picture tube, if the high
voltage (HV) is out of specification. When the HV is operating
properly, there is no x-radiation. For the CA chassis family,
the HV has no adjustments. A HV shutdown circuit is used to
prevent excessive HV and x-ray emissions.
THEORY OF OPERATION (SHUTDOWN CIRCUIT)
This circuit basically monitors the sweep pulse voltage derived from the sweep transformer TX3204 pins 5 & 6. This
voltage is rectified, and applied to a 12V zener diode ZDX3004.
When the HV reaches its maximum allowed ,value (see drawing) the zener diode conducts, the voltage on pin 29 of the
video processor (ICX2200) increases until it reaches the threshold voltage of 3.5 VDC, and shuts down the TV. If the shutdown circuit has operated, the microcontroller will prevent
the TV from being turned on again, without first having to
unplug the AC cord to reset the microcontroller.
TIP: Make a momentary short between the OUTPUT and GND
of the IC6002 (RESET CIRCUIT) this will reset the microcontroller
IC6000. Apply signal through the video generator or tune the
TV color receiver to crosshatch pattern. Connect an accurate
HV meter between the picture tube anode and chassis ground.
Access Video Menu and adjust Brightness and Contrast controls for minimum screen luminance. Wait until, the Video
Menu or display disappear. Read HV meter.

SAFETY CIRCUIT TEST PROCEDURE
Equipment required:
a) Video Generator.
b) HV DC meter (0 to 40 KV, high Z).
c) External variable power supply (0V to 200 VDC @ 5Amps
minimum).
d) 1 Giga ohm, 5%, 2W film resistor.
Before turning the TV on, connect the HV meter’s negative
probe (-) to ground (DAG ground recommended) and the positive probe (+) in the anode of the CRT. Connect a 1 Giga Ohm
resistor in parallel with the HV meter. Then connect the external power supply’s negative output (-) to chassis ground, that
is, the negative lead of B+ filter capacitor, CX3420. Turn on
the TV. Apply a video signal or tune the TV to a raster pattern.
Adjust the G2 potentiometer for minimum, and set the brightness and contrast levels to minimum. Now adjust the output
voltage of the external power supply to 124 VDC for CA25V/
27V or 130 VDC for CA32V/36V. Then start increasing the
voltage on the external power supply until the TV shuts down,
and read the HV on the meter just before the voltage starts
dropping.
Note: The external power supply may require a diode for
blocking voltage from the chassis power supply to
the external power supply. The diode should be
connected between the positive output of the external
power and B+ of the chassis. The cathode should be
facing the B+ of the chassis. The recommended diode
is Part No. 103-00339-04A (400 V of VRRM @ 3
Amps of average rectified forward current).
The CA series chassis has been developed for sentry 2 screen sizes 25” through 36” stereo models. The chassis is a
single sided printed circuit board (PCB) very similar to the GA Chassis.
During the manufacturing process, the microprocessor will be programmed for any added features. Additional plug in
boards with Jack Packs will be added to the chassis to accommodate the different features: Stereo, Mono, Video/
Audio in, etc.
The ICX2200 integrated circuit (IC) handles all of the audio/video, sync, and sweep drive processing. The IC6000 is
the main microprocessor and the IC6001 is the EAROM memory. The keyboard and IR detector are tied directly to the
IC6000. The IC2100/IC2101 handles the vertical sweep. At power on, voltages for the vertical and video output
circuit are derived from this sweep circuit.

the Power key are disabled. This prevents an
incomplete Auto Program procedure.
• Running the Auto Program will clear the factory
mode, if it was active. This happens at the end of
the Auto Program.
• If the Auto Program line in the Setup Menu is ‘red’,
this indicates that the module did not pass one of
the test equipment’s tests.
• If no channels are found then the following message
will appear: “Make sure that the cable/ant. is
connected , and try again.”
CHANNEL/ADD/DEL
After running the Auto Program, all channels found by
the Auto Program feature will be marked Added. However,
some of these channels may be scrambled, or undesired
by the customer. This feature allows the customer to
selectively mark any channel as Deleted or Added.
To change the status of a channel from Added to Deleted
or vice versa, press the Left/Right Arrow key.
To change the channel while adding or deleting channels,
use the Channel Up/Down keys, or press the desired
channel digits, followed by ‘Enter’. If Channel Up/Down
is pressed, the next or previous channel which was marked
Added will appear. If only one channel is present, to
change the channel the customer must use the digit key
pad to select a channel.
CLOCK SET
This Setup Menu Line allows the customer to set the
clock time and date.
When no time is set, the display shows:—:——
There are two ways to set the time:
1. Direct Entry (preferred) Use the digit keys, followed
by ‘Enter’ or Select Up/Down.
2. Left/Right Arrow keys
When the first digit is introduced, the display shows:
—:-d AM< Timer
When the time is set, the display shows:
hh:mmAM< Timer
where:
d = digit, mm = minutes hh = hours
Entering an invalid time (“0” for example) will result in
the clearing of the current time (—:— —). Also when
only one digit is pressed and no other is pressed in an
interval of seven seconds, the current time will be cleared.
Note: When the first digit is pressed (or the Left/Right
Arrow is pressed), a TIMER icon appears on the
right side of the AM/PM status.
TIMER MENU
The Timer Setup line allows entry into the Timer Menu.
This feature consists of three menu lines: “On Time”,
“Off Time”, and “On/Off Timer”. This feature allows the
set to turn on and off at the times specified in “On Time”
and “Off Time”. The “On/Off Timer” turns the feature on
and off. Setting the “On Time” or the “Off Time” is
identical to the Clock Set feature in the Setup Menu.

the EZ Program.
• If the EZ Program line in the Setup Menu is ‘red’,
this indicates that the module did not pass one of
the test equipment’s tests.
• If no channels are found then the following
message will appear: “Make sure that the cable/
ant. is connected, and try again.”
