Follow these safety and servicing precautions to prevent damage and to protect against potential hazards
such as electrical shock and X-rays.
1-1 Safety Precautions
1-1-1 Warnings
1. For safety purpose, do not attempt to modify
the circuit board, and always disconnect the AC
power before performing servicing on the
monitor.
2. Operation of the monitor outside its cabinet or
with the cover removed involves the risk of
shock hazard. Repair work on the monitor
should only be attempted by service personnel
who are thoroughly familiar with all necessary
safety precautions and procedures for working
on high voltage equipment.
3. Do not lift the CRT by the neck. After
completely discharging the high voltage anode,
handle the CRT only when wearing shatterproof
goggles. Try to keep the CRT away from the
body during handling.
4. High voltage should always be kept at the rated
value, no higher. Only when high voltage is
excessive are X-rays capable of penetrating the
shell of the CRT. Operation at high voltages
may also cause failure of the CRT or high
voltage circuitry.
nonmetallic control knobs, insulating materials,
cabinet backs, adjustment and compartment
covers or shields, isolation resistor-capacitor
networks, mechanical insulators, etc.
3. AC Leakage Current Check
Always perform the AC Leakage Current
Check on the exposed metal parts, including
metal cabinets, screwheads and control shafts,
as follows:
a) Plug the AC line cord directly into a rated
AC outlet. Do not use an isolation
transformer during the check.
b) Use an AC voltmeter with at least 5000
ohms per volt sensitivity as follows:
Connect a 1500 ohms, 10 watt resistor
paralleled by a 0.15uF AC capacitor in series
with all exposed metal cabinet parts and a
known earth ground, such as electrical
conduct or electrical ground connected to
earth ground, as shown in the Figure 1-1.
Measure the AC voltage across the
combination of resistor and capacitor.
Figure 1-1. Set Up For AC Leakage Current Check
5. The CRT is especially constructed to limit Xray emission to 0.5mR/HR at 300 microamperes
anode current. To ensure continued X-ray
protection, replace the CRT with only the same
or equivalent type as the original, and adjust the
anodes voltage to the designated maximum
rating, never to exceed.
1-1-2 Safety Checks
Before returning the monitor to the user, perform
the following safety checks:
1. Inspect to make certain that each lead dress is
not pinched or that hardware is not lodged
between the chassis and other metal parts in

c) Reverse the AC plug at the AC outlet and
repeat the steps for AC voltage
measurements for each exposed metal part.
d) Voltage reading must not exceed 0.3 volts
RMS, equivalent to 0.2 milliampere AC. Any
value exceeding this limit ill constitute a
potential shock hazard and must be
corrected immediately.

4-3-1 Horizontal Section
1. The oscillator is driven by the currents in R472 and R468. The minimum oscillator frequency is determined
by R472 and the maximum frequency is determined by R468.
2. Horizontal sync goes into pin 15 through R494. And horizontal flyback pulse goes into pin 1 through R479
and bypass filter C445 from Emitter of Q407 and C412, C433, C411, R419, C456, R421, D413 for AFC
loop.
3. Horizontal driver (pin8) output to Q401 via C401, Q401 switching to drive T401 provide IB1/IB2 current
then turn on/off Q402 and switching the yoke current.

output. Step down circuit include Q404, T402, D407.
2. I401 TDA4841 pin 6 (B DRV) will drive the step down circuit to change H. width.
3. EW DRV (pin11) provides a complete EW drive waveform including parabola, corner and trapezoid
correction and feed to BIN (pin 5 of I401) to get a good control for pincushion / trapezoid / corner.
4. The top and bottom corner correction can be adjusted seperately.
4-3-5 X-Ray Protection
1. To avoid X-ray hazard, a DC voltage generated at pin 6 of FBT and rectified by D107, C111 and divided
by R476, R477 and R478 come into pin 2 of TDA4841.
2. If this voltage is higher than 6.39 V, then TDA4841 will be activated to float HUNLOCK (pin17), H.
DRV( pin 8), B DRV (pin 6), VOUT1 (pin 12), VOUT2 (pin13). After that all deflection circuit stop
working.
4-3-6 Blanking and Brightness

C102.
4-4 Power Supply Section
4-4-1AC Rectifier
The circuit can accept 90 V to 264 V AC input through D801 bridge diodes and C808 filtering to get DC 126
V~364 V for power conversion in T802.
4-4-2Line Filter
It consists of C801, C802, C803, C816, C820, C823, T801, T804 and meets EMI regulation.
4-4-3Power LED Status
1. The LED has 3 leads with common cathode to emit green and amber color light for different power
saving states.
2. Normal : Green light
3. Off Mode : Amber light
4-4-4 Auto Degaussing
When S801 turns on, pin 27 of I701 will send a signal to Q802 and turns on RL801 for degaussing. After 4
seconds, it will turn off RL801 automatically.
4-4-5 PWM Control
1. Start Up
The I801 (KC3843B) gets power from R846, Q821, R849, R848, D826, D828, D822 and pin 7 voltage
reaches 8 V for starting up. The I801 starts oscillation at 22 kHz, sawtooth on pin 4 and pin 6 output to
drive Q803/T802. Once Q803 switching on, D806, C804 set up an 15 V to keep I801 working through
D821 auxiliary voltage.
2. Regulation
The DC O/P voltage is proportional to the auxiliary voltage, so I801 pin 2 senses the feedback voltage
from the divider R802, R823, VR801 and R820 to compare with the built-in 2.5 volts reference voltage for
error amplifier operation. Finally pin 6 can modulate the different duty cycle by VR801 setting to achieve
regulation purpose.
Page 13
Page 16
C1996NSL/NST/PNST
4-4-6 Synchronization
1. Normal Mode
The sync pulse from FBT (31 kHz~95 kHz) via R812, R831, C815, R826, D824, C814 and R816 to pin 4
of I801 to keep I801 synchronized with horizontal sync input frequency.
2. Power Saving Modes: Off mode
Because there is no pulse from FBT, so the free-run frequency is decided by R817 and C814 and the
SMPS works at 22 kHz.
3. Override
The horizontal free run frequency is about 62.5 kHz under override condition, SMPS is synchronized to
this frequency.
4-4-7 O.V.P.
If the auxiliary voltage is higher than zener voltage ZD807 (20 volts) and makes pin 3 of I801 higher than
1 V, pin 6 duty cycle is limited to have the OVP activated.
4-4-8 O.P.P.
The excess current of T802 through R813, R814, R834, C813, R865 and R864 can develop enough voltage
on pin 3 then limit the power delivered because the pin 6 duty cycle is limited too.
4-4-9 High Voltage Generation with F.B.T.
1. The H. V generation circuit combines T101 F.B.T. with I101 TL494/KA7500 PWM control circuit.
2. When I101, Vcc(pin12) reaches at 12V, pin 5,6 gets a freerun sawtooth waveform about 25KHz, and
approximately 5.7Vp-p, when voltahe at pin 15 is higher than pin 16 (5V reference) then release pin 3 to
be controlled by pin 1 feedback signal and compare with pin 5 to output PWM.
3. HFLB1 is used to trigger pin 5 via Q112, to synchronize the deflection circuit.
4. PWM output will drive Q116 & T101 to gererate high voltage (26KV), T101 pin 11, 15 becomes DC/AC
feedback, with the voltage link to I101 non-inverting input pin 1 to stabilize H.V (26KV) and VR101 can
be adjusted to control H.V value.
5. When X.R.P occur, the hunlock will keep high to pull down I101 pin 2 and shut down PWM output.
4-5 Video Amplifier Section
1. RGB signal inputs are terminated by R501, R531 and R561 then pass through the coupling capacitors
C501, C531 and C561 to IC501 LM1267 preamplifier.

3. Adjust center VR at T101 (dynamic focus VR) to make horizontal line clear.
4. Repeat above procedures to get best focus.
5-2-4 Dynamic focus Adjustments
1. Horizontal dynamic focus set Hf=370V ±10 V in phase (compare with Vcp signal).
2. Vertical dynamic focus set Vf=145V ±10V in phase.
5-2-5 Static Convergence Adjustments
Static convergence involves alignment of the red, blue and green lines in the center area of the display.
Note :The monitor requires 30 minutes warm-up time for convergence adjustment.

5-2-6 Degaussing
Degaussing is required when poor color impurity appears on the screen. This monitor uses an automatic
degaussing circuit that is activated when the power is on. The automatic degaussing will be fully functional
again after the monitor has been in operation for 20 minutes.
The degaussing effect is confined to the picture tube since the coils are mounted at the back of the tube.
Should any part of the chassis or cabinet becomes magnetized, it is necessary to degauss the affected area
with a manual degaussing coil.
5-2-7 Manual Degaussing
1. Apply line voltage to the degaussing coil and move it in a rotary motion over the front, sides, and top of the
monitor. The coil should be kept away from the rear of the monitor to avoid damaging the magnetic neck
components.
2. Slowly rotate and move the coil away from the monitor to about 6 feet beyond the point where no effect
on the CRT will be noticeable.
For proper degaussing, it is essential that the field be gradually reduced by moving the coil slowly away from
the monitor. The degaussing coil must never be shut off or disconnected while near the monitor, as this would
introduce a strong field instead of canceling the effect of the stray fields.

6-8 Blank EEPROM Trouble-shooting:
Description of functions for models under C1996 series EEPROM DATA AUTO-RELOAD
The function allows plant staff to pre-write and customer service personnel to use blank EEPROM
through the pre-write EEPROM function whenever the CPU is implemented. The method of operation
is as follows:
First, press the HOT KEY, start after C1996 turns to (<&>) KEY. At this point of time, the CPU
is capable of detecting the first 8 DATA of each page that EEPROM contains. When the
reading goes to 00H or FFH, the EEPROM PAGE will turn to blank; instead, the pre-set value
is being written into the EEPROM through CPU. Otherwise, it shall be deemed an effective
value and that the pre-write function shall not be activated.
