Please 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 CR T 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
anode’s 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
the monitor.
2. Inspect all protective devices such as

0.15ufd
1500 ohm 10 watt
To ex posed m e tal
cabinet part
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.

1-1-3 Product Safety Notices
Many electrical and mechanical parts in this chassis have special safety-related characteristics which are
often not evident from visual inspection, the protection afforded by them may not be obtained by replacing
them with components rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc. Before replacing any of these components,
consult the Recommended Spare Parts List given at the end of this manual. Any of the replacements that do
not provide the same safety characteristics may result in shock, fire, X-ray emission or other hazards.
1-2 Servicing Precautions
Warning: An electrolytic capacitor installed with the wrong polarity might explode.
Caution: Before performing servicing covered by this service manual, read and follow the Safety Precautions
section of this manual.
Note:If unforeseen conflict between the following servicing precautions and any of the safety
precautions, always follow the safety precautions
1. Follow closely the servicing precautions printed on the monitor cabinet and chassis.
2. Always unplug the AC power cord from the AC power source before removing or installing any component
or assembly, disconnecting PCB plugs or connectors and connecting a test component in parallel with a
capacitor.
3. When replacing parts or circuit boards, clamp the lead wires around the component before soldering.
4. When replacing a high wattage resistor (>0.5W metal oxide film resistor) in the circuit board, keep the
resistor about 1 cm (1/2 inch) away from the circuit board.
5. Keep wires away from the high voltage or high temperature components.
6. Keep wires in their original positions so as to minimize interference.
7. Always connect a test instrument’s ground lead to the instrument chassis ground before connecting the
positive lead; always remove the instrument’s ground lead last.
After putting the rear cover back and make sure the monitor is working properly, the Hi-Pot &
Ground Continuity tests MUST BE performed before the monitor is returned to user.
1-3 Hi-Pot Test
1. Test Equipment
Puncture test model PM5530 ADT or KIKUSU TOS-8750 voltage tester or equivalent approved equipment.
Note : The test equipment must be calibrated in regular period.
2. Test Setup
a) Apply voltage : DC 2100 VDC
b) Test duration : 3 seconds
c) Cutoff current should be set to 3 mA
3. Test Procedure
a) Unplug power cord from AC source.
b) Put the power switch of the monitor in the “ON” position.
c) Leave signal cable unconnected.
Precautions

d) Plug monitor power cord to the Hi Pot tester terminals.
e) Turn on tester and watch the indicator or beeper.
f) If the indicator lamp lighten, or beeper beeps, the test fails.
1-4 Ground Continuity Test
1. Test Equipment
AC low ohm tester TOS-6100 or equivalent approved equipment.
Note :The test equipment must be calibrated in regular period.
2. Test Setup
a) Test duration : 3 seconds
b) Set current limit at 25 A
c) The grounding resistance must be less than 0.1 ohm.
3. Test Procedure
a) Plug the monitor power cord to the tester terminals.
MD 1998LE (B1997PNST)
b) Make sure all connections are well-contacted.
c) Turn on monitor power and tester power.
d) Press “Test” button.
e) If green light shows up, means test OK.
If red light shows up, means test fails.
f) If the Tester has a digital display, the resistance value must not exceed 0.1 ohm.
Note :Be sure not to touch the metal portion of the signal cable head during testing.
