IMPORTANT SERVICE SAFETY INFORMATION
1.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Before returning a unit to the customer, always make a safety check of
the entire unit, including, but not limited to the following items:
a. Be sure that no built-in protective devices are defective and/or have
been defeated during servicing.
(1)
Protective shields are provided to protect both the technician and
the customer. Correctly replace all missing protective shields
including any removed for servicing convenience.
(2)
When reinstalling the chassis and/or other assemblies in the
cabinet, be sure t put back in place all protective devices, including,
but not limited to, nonmetallic control knobs, insulating fishpapers,
adjustment and compartment covers/shields and isolation resistor/
capacitor networks. Do not operate this unit or permit it to be
operated without all protective devices correctly installed and
functioning.
b.
Be sure that there are no cabinet openings through which an adult or
child might be able to insert their fingers and contact a hazardous
voltage. such openings include, but are not limited to, excessively wide
cabinet ventilation slots, and an improperly fitted and/or incorrectly
secured cabinet back cover.
c.
Leakage Current Hot Check - With the unit completely reassembled,
plug the AC line cord directly into a 120V AC outlet. (Do not use an
isolation transformer during this test.) Use a leakage current tester or a
metering system that complies with American National Standards
institute (ANSI) C101.1”Leakage current for Appliances” and
Underwriters laboratories (UL) 1410,(50.7). With the unit AC switch first
in the ON position and then in the OFF position, measure from a known
earth ground (metal water pipe, conduit, etc.), especially any exposed
metal parts that offer an electrical return path to the chassis. Any
current measured must not exceed 0.5 milliamp. Reverse the unit power
cord plug in the outlet and repeat test. ANY MEASUREMENTS NOT
WITHIN THE LIMITS SPECIFIED HERENIN INDICATE A POTENTIAL
SHOCK HAZARD THAT MUST BE ELIMINATED BEFORE
RETURNING THE UNIT TO THE CUSTOMER.
(READING SHOULD
NOT BE ABOVE
0.5mA)

d.
Insulation Resistance Test Cold Check
Unplug the power supply cord and connect a jumper wire between the
two prongs of the plug.
Turn on the power switch of the unit.
Measure the resistance with an ohmmeter between the jumpered AC
plug and each exposed metallic cabinet part on the unit, such as
screwheads, antenna, control shafts, handle brackets, etc. When the
exposed metallic part has a return path to the chassis, the reading
should be between 1 and 5.2 megohms. When there is no return path to
the chassis, the reading must be “infinite”. If it is not within the limits
specified, there is the possibility of a shock hazard, and the unit must be
repaired and rechecked before it is returned to the customer.

PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE
OM
OHMMETER
Some electrical and mechanical parts have special safety related
characteristics which are often not evident from visual inspection, nor
can the protection they give necessarily be obtained by replacing them
with components rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc. Parts that
have special safety characteristics are identified by a on
schematic and parts list. Use of a substitute replacement that does not
have the same safety characteristics as the recommended
replacement part might create shock, fire, and/or other hazards.
Product safety is under review continuously and new instructions are
issued whenever appropriate.
SERVICING PRECAUTIONS
3.
CAUTION”Before servicing the unit covered by this service manual
and its supplements read and follow the SAFETY PRECAUTIONS on
this page. NOTE”If unforeseen circumstances create a conflit
between the following servicing precautions and any of the safety
precautions, always follow the safety precautions. Remember: Safety
First.
General Servicing Precautions.
a. Always unplug the unit’s AC power cord from the AC power
source before:
(1) removing or reinstalling any component, circuit board, module, or
any other unit assembly.
(2) disconnecting or reconnecting any unit electrical plug or other
electrical connection.
(3) connecting a test substitute in parallel with an electrolytic
capacitor in the unit.
Caution: A wrong part substitution or incorrect polarity installation
of electrolytic capacitors may result in an explosion
hazard.
b. Do not defeat any plug/socket B+ voltage interlocks with which
the unit covered by this service manual might be equipped.
c. Do not apply AC power to this unit and/or any of its electrical
assemblies unless all solid-state device heat sinks are correctly
installed.
d. always connect a test unit instrument’s ground lead to the unit’s
chassis ground before connecting the test instrument’s positive
lead. Always remove the test instrument’s ground lead last.
LASER PRECAUTIONS
4.
WARNING!!
When servicing, (in case it is necessary to confirm Laser Beam
1.
Emission) be sure not to place your eyes any closer than 1 ft or
30cm from the surface of the Objective Lens on the Opticval
Pickup Block.
HANDLING THE LASER PICKUP
2.
Laser diodes are extremely susceptible to damage from static
electricity. Even if a static discharge does not ruin the diode, it can
shorten its life or cause it to work improperly. When replacing the
pickup, use a conductive mat on the floor and desk and wear a
wrist band connected to ground through a 1M ohm resistor to
protect the laser diode from static damage. If the lens should get
dusty, blow off the dust carefully from the object.
3.
There are no adjustable parts in the pickup assembly. If it is
defective, replace the whole pickup assembly.
CAUTION:
USE OF CONTROLS, ADJUSTMENTS OR PERFORMANCE OF
PROCEDURES HEREIN MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS
RADIATION EXPOSURE.
DANGER:
IF INTERLOCK FAILS OR IS DEFEATED, THE LASER LIGHT IS
ABLE TO FUNCTION. THE LASER IS INVISIBLE, AVOID DIRECT
EXPOSURE TO BEAM.
