I960 SERVICE MANUAL
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND NOTICES
SAFETY P ECAUTIONS
1. Observe all cautions and safety related notes located inside the monitor cabinet
and on the monitor chassis.
2. Operation of the monitor outside its cabinet or with the cover removed involves
the risk of shock from the monitor power supply. epair work on the monitor
should not be attempted by anyone who is not thoroughly familiar with all
necessary safety precautions and procedures for working on high voltage
equipment.
3. Do not install, remove, or handle the picture tube in any manner unless shatter
proof goggles are worn. People not so equipped should be kept at a distance
during handling of the picture tube. Keep the picture tube away from the body
during handling.
4. The picture tube is constructed to limit X-radiation to 0.5m /H at 300 micro
amperes anode current. For continued protection, use the recommended
replacement tube only, and adjust the voltages so that the designated maximum
rating at the anode will not be exceeded.
P ODUCT SAFETY NOTICE
Many electrical and mechanical parts in this chassis have been specially inspected
for safety, and the protection afforded by them cannot necessarily be obtained by
using replacement components rated for higher voltage, wattage etc. Before
replacing any of these components, read the Spare Parts List at the end of this
manual carefully. The use of substitute replacement parts which do not have the
same safety characteristics as those specified in the Spare Parts List may result in
shock, fire, X-radiation or other hazards. »

1960 SERVICE MANUAL
SE VICE NOTES
1. When replacing parts or circuit boards, clamp the lead wires around the terminals
before soldering.
2. When replacing a high wattage resistor ( >0.5 W metal oxide film resistor) in the
circuit board, keep the resistor about 1 cm (1/2") away from the circuit board.
3. Keep wires away from high voltage or high temperature components.
4. Keep wires in their original positions so as to minimize inteference.
SAFETY TEST
Before returning a serviced monitor to the customer, a thorough safety test must be
performed to verify that the monitor is safe to operate without danger of shock.
Always perform an AC current leakage check on the exposed metallic parts, such as
screw heads, as follows:
1. Plug the AC line cord directly into a rated AC. Do not use a Line Isolation
Transformer during this check).
2. Use an AC voltmeter having at least 5000 ohms per volt sensitivity as follows:
Connect a 1500 ohms 10 watt resistor, paralleled by a 0.15mfd, AC type capacitor
between a known good earth ground (such as a water pipe or conduit etc.) and the
exposed metallic part simultaneously. Measure the AC voltage across the
combination of 1500 ohms resistor and 0.15mfd capacitor.
3. everse the AC plug at the AC outlet and repeat the steps for AC voltage
measurements for each exposed metallic part.
4. Voltage measured must not exceed 0.3 volts MS. This corresponds to 0.2
milli-amps AC. Any value exceeding this limit constitutes a potential shock hazard
and must be corrected immediately.

1960 SERVICE MANUAL
F) DEGAUSSING
Degaussing is required when poor color purity appears on the screen.
This monitor uses an automatic degaussing circuit that is activated at
power ON. Automatic degaussing will be fully functional within 15
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
become magnetized, it will be necessary to degauss the affected area with
a manual degaussing coil.
Manual Degaussing
a. 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.
b. Slowly rotate and back the coil away from the monitor to about 6 feet
beyond the point where no effect on the C T 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 cancelling the effect of the stray fields.
