VARNING

Flexible Circuit Board Repairing

• Keep the temperature of the soldering iron around 270 ˚C during

repairing.

• Do not touch the soldering iron on the same conductor of the

circuit board (within 3 times).

• Be careful not to apply force on the conductor when soldering or

unsoldering .

Notes on chip component replacement

• Never reuse a disconnected chip component.

• Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be dam-

aged by heat.

VAROITUS

SAFETY CHECK-OUT

After correcting the original service problem, perform the following safety check before releasing the set to the customer: Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs, screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage. Check leakage as described below.

LEAKAGE TEST

The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground and from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microampers). Leakage current can be measured by any one of three methods.

1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers’ instructions to use these instruments.

2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The Data Precision 245 digital multimeter is suitable for this job.

3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a V OM or battery-operated A C v oltmeter . The “limit” indication is 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-voltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are examples of a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated digital multimeters that have a 2 V AC range are suitable. (See Fig. A)

6. When adjusting tape pass and each guide, as shown below, it is a good practice to remove the holder assy and use the DAT cassette holder (J-8000-002-A). This facilitates adjustment work.

• When removing and installing the holder assy, turn the pulley

counterclockwise and set loading OUT condition for easy removal and installation.

• When adjusting, turn the pulley clockwise and turn on the

CASSETTE TABLE IN s witch (S2) to set loading IN condition. Then, set the test tape.

Perform the back-up check by the following procedure. (1) Connect a DC voltmeter between the DIGITAL board’s TP

(BATT+) as (+) side on the TP (BATT–) as (–) side.

(2) With the POWER switch of the set OFF, check that the volt-

age (1) is

less than +20 mV. (If the measured value is more than +20 mV, inspect the IC518 and peripheral parts and replace as needed.)

(3) With the POWER switch of the set ON, check that the volt-

age (1) is

less than 0 mV (minus indication), (If plus indication, inspect the D510 and peripheral parts and replace as needed.)

(4) When these voltages are normal, set the clock to the current

date and time according to the instruction manual. (year/month/day/day of week/hours/minutes/seconds)*

(5) After the clock is set in item (4), turn off the POWER switch

once and in several seconds, turn on the power again and make sure that the clock is operating.

The back-up battery for clock is designed to serve for more than seven years under normal service conditions (room temperature and ordinary humidity). When replacing the battery, take note of the following:

• Perform the above “Clock IC Back-up Check” and remedy the

cause of battery consumption.

• The open voltage of the battery as removed is 3.0 V or more when

it is new. If this voltage is 2.0 V or less, then battery is fully consumed and needs to be replaced.

• After the battery is replaced, perform the “Clock IC Back-up

Check” again and set the clock.

• The coin type lithium battery (CR2032) is used for replacement.
