1. Safety Precautions
1.1. General Guide
1. Itisadvisableto insert an isolation transformer inthe AC supply
before servicing ahot chassis. Fig. 1.
Fig. 1
2. When servicing, observe the original lead dress, especiallythe
lead dress inthe high voltage circuits. Ifashort circuitisfound,
replace all parts which have been overheated or damaged bythe
short circuit.
3. After servicing, observe that all the protective devices such as
insulation barriers, insulation papers, shields, and isolation R-C
combinations, are properlyinstalled.
4. When the receiver isnot to be used for along period of time,
unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.
5. Potential, as high as 32kV ispresent when thisreceiver isin
operation. Operation of the receiver without the receiver power
supply. Servicing shouldnot be attempted byanyone who isnot
thoroughlyfamiliar with the precautions necessarywhen working
on high voltage equipment. Alwaysdischarge the anode of the
picture tube to the receiver chassisbefore handling the tube.
After servicing make the following leakage current checks to
prevent the customer from being exposed to shock hazards.
1.2. Leakage Current ColdCheck
1. Unplug the AC cord and connect ajumper between the two
prongs on the plug. Fig. 2. Fig. 2
3

2. Turn on the receiver’spower switch.
3. Measure the resistance value, with an ohmmeter, between the
jumpered AC plug and each exposed metalliccabinet part on the
receiver, such as screw heads, aerials, connectors, control shafts,
etc. When the exposed metallicpart has areturn path to the
chassis, the reading shouldbe between 4M and 20M . When
the exposed metal does not have areturn path to the chassis, the
reading must be zero.
1.3. Leakage Current Hot Check (See Fig. 1)
1. Plug the AC cord directlyinto the AC outlet. Donot use an
isolation transformer for thischeck.
2. Connect a2k , 10 Wresistor inseries with an exposed metallic
part on the receiver and an earth such as awater pipe.
3. Use an AC voltmeter, with high impedance type, to measure the
potential across the resistor.
4. Check each exposed metallicpart, and measure the voltage at
each point. Fig. 3. Fig. 3
5. Reverse the AC plug inthe AC outlet and repeat each of the above
measurements.
6. The potential anypoint shouldnot exceed 1.0V rms. Inthe case of
ameasurement being outside of the limits specified, there isa
possibilityof ashock hazard, and the receiver shouldbe repaired
and re-checked before itisreturned to the customer. Fig. 4.

1.4. X-Radiation
Warning :
1. The potential sources of X-Radiation inTV sets are the EHT
section and the picture tube. /
2. When using apicture tube test rigfor service, ensure that the rig
iscapableof handling 30 kV without causing X-Radiation. /
Note: It is important touse anaccurate periodicallycalibratedhigh voltage meter. /
1. Set the brightness to minimum.
2. Measure the High Voltage. The meter reading shouldindicate 31.0
± 1.0kV. Ifthe meter indication isout of tolerance, immediate
service and correction isrequired to prevent the possibilityof
premature component failure.
3. To prevent the possibilityof X-Radiation, itisessential to use the
specified picture tube.
