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 A C leaka ge from an y e xposed metal part to earth g round and
from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a
return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microamperes).
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. Follo w 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
VOM or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The “limit” indica­tion is 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate low­voltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63T rd are e x­amples of a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery
operated digital multimeters that have a 2 V A C range are suit­able. (See Fig. A)

TEST MODE

This set provides four test modes as follows.

1. INPUT CHECK MODE

2. KEY CHECK MODE

3. AMP CHECK MODE

4. DEMONSTRATION MODE
The following describes each test mode in detail.

4-1. INPUT CHECK MODE

Procedure:

1. While pressing the both [S.WOOFER] and [MASTERVOL+] buttons, turn the power ON.

2. Fluorescent indicator tube display “SAVA-500”, after the all lights up, and enter the input check mode.

3. Pressing the [INPUT] button varies the display as follows.

4-2. KEY CHECK MODE

Procedure:

1. Push back [] button to turn the power OFF.
