Safety Instructions, Warnings and Notes

GB 4 A10PTV2.0 NTSC2.

2. Safety Instructions, Warnings and Notes

2.1 Safety Instructions for Repairs

• Safety regulations require that during a repair:

– The set should be connected to the mains via an

isolating transformer;

– Safety components, indicated by the symbol



should be replaced by components identical to the

original ones;

– When replacing the CRT, safety goggles must be

worn.

• Safety regulations require that after a repair the set must

be returned in its original condition. In particular attention

should be paid to the following points.

– General repair instruction: As a strict precaution, we

advise you to resolder the solder joints through which

the horizontal deflection current is flowing, in

particular

a. All pins of the line output transformer (LOT);

b. Fly-back capacitor(s);

c. S-correction capacitor(s);

d. Line output transistor;

e. Pins of the connector with wires to the deflection

coil;

f. Other components through which the deflection

current flows.

Note: This resoldering is advised to prevent bad

connections due to metal fatigue in solder joints

and is therefore only necessary for television

sets older than 2 years.

– The wire trees and EHT cable should be routed

correctly and fixed with the mounted cable clamps.

– The insulation of the mains lead should be checked

for external damage.

– The mains lead strain relief should be checked for its

function in order to avoid touching the CRT, hot

components or heat sinks.

– The electrical DC resistance between the mains plug

and the secondary side should be checked (only for

sets which have a mains isolated power supply). This

check can be done as follows:

1. Unplug the mains cord and connect a wire

between the two pins of the mains plug;

2. Set the mains switch to the "on" position (keep

the mains cord unplugged!);

3. Measure the resistance value between the pins

of the mains plug and the metal shielding of the

tuner or the aerial connection on the set. The

reading should be between 4.5 M9and 12 M9

4. Switch off the TV and remove the wire between

the two pins of the mains plug.

– The cabinet should be checked for defects to avoid

touching of any inner parts by the customer.

2.2 Maintenance Instruction

It is recommended to have a maintenance inspection carried

out by a qualified service employee. The interval depends on

the usage conditions:

• When the set is used under normal circumstances, for

example in a living room, the recommended interval is 3

to 5 years.

• When the set is used in circumstances with higher dust,

grease or moisture levels, for example in a kitchen, the

recommended interval is 1 year.

• The maintenance inspection contains the following

actions:

– Execute the above mentioned 'general repair

instruction'.

– Clean the power supply and deflection circuitry on

the chassis.

– Clean the picture tube panel and the neck of the

picture tube.

2.3 Warnings

•ESD



All ICs and many other semiconductors are susceptible

to electrostatic discharges (ESD). Careless handling

during repair can reduce life drastically. When repairing,

make sure that you are connected with the same

potential as the mass of the set by a wristband with

resistance. Keep components and tools also at this same

potential.

• Available ESD protection equipment:

– Complete kit ESD3 (small table mat, Wristband,

Connection box, Extension cable and Earth cable)

4822 310 10671

– Wristband tester 4822 344 13999

• Be careful during measurements in the high-voltage

section and on the picture tubes.

• Never replace modules or other components while the

unit is switched on.

• When making settings, use plastic rather than metal

tools. This will prevent any short circuits and the danger

of a circuit becoming unstable.

2.4 Notes

• The direct voltages and oscillograms should be

measured with regard to the tuner earth (



), or hot earth

(



) as this is called.

• The direct voltages and oscillograms shown in the

diagrams are indicative and should be measured in the

Service Default Mode (see chapter 5) with a colour bar

signal and stereo sound (L: 3 kHz, R: 1 kHz unless stated

otherwise) and picture carrier at 475.25 MHz.

• Where necessary, the oscillograms and direct voltages

are measured with (



) and without aerial signal (



Voltages in the power supply section are measured both

for normal operation (



) and in standby (



). These

values are indicated by means of the appropriate

symbols.

• The picture tubes PWB have printed spark gaps. Each

spark gap is connected between an electrode of the

picture tube and the Aquadag coating.

• The semiconductors indicated in the circuit diagram and

in the parts lists are completely interchangeable per

position with the semiconductors in the unit, irrespective

of the type indication on these semiconductors.

5.2 Service Default Mode (SDM)

5.2.1 Introduction

The Service Default Mode (SDM) is a technical aid for the

service technician. The Service Default Mode (SDM)

establishes fixed, repeatable settings of customer controls,

which allow consistent measurements to be made. The SDM

also initiates the blinking LED procedure and, if necessary,

overrides the 5V protection. This mode also allows the

operating hours, the software version and error codes to be

read.

The SDM Places the Set in the Following Pre-defined

Conditions:

• Tuning frequency set to channel 3.

• Volume level set to 25% (of the maximum volume level).

• Other picture and sound settings set to 50% (mid-range).

The Following Functions are Turned Off in SDM (and

After Leaving SDM):

Figure 5-2

5.3.3 Explanation Notes/References:

1. Operation Hours (Run Timer):

• This display indicates the accumulated total of

operational hours. (Shown in hexadecimal format)

2. Software identification of the main micro controller

(A101US1-2.06)

• A10 is the engineering chassis name for the A10

PTV chassis

• 1US1 is a character combination to indicate the

software type and the supported languages: 3AP1 or

3AP2 are also possible in the Asian Pacific Region.

• US = United States, AP = Asia Pacific

• 1 = Main Software language version number

• 2.06 = sub-version number

3. Error buffer (7 errors possible):

• Displays the 7 most recent errors. The most recent

error is displayed at the upper left.

4. Option bytes (8 codes possible):

• Summary of options is explained below.

5. Sub menus are listed in a scroll menu.

5.3.4 SAM Menu Control

Menu items may be selected using the cursor UP/DOWN

keys.

• The selected item will be highlighted.

• When not all menu items will fit on the screen, pressing

the cursor UP/DOWN keys on the remote transmitter will

display the next/previous menu items.

With the cursor LEFT/RIGHT keys, it is possible to:

• (de)activate the selected menu item (e.g. GEOMETRY)

• change the value of the selected menu item ( e.g. VER-

SLOPE )

• activate the selected submenu (e.g. SERV-BLK)

Access to Normal User Menu

Pressing the “MENU” button on the remote control switches

between the SAM and the normal user menus (with the SAM

mode still active in the background). Pressing the “MENU”

key in a submenu will return the screen to the previous menu.

5.4 The Menus and Submenus

5.4.1 Clear Errors

Erases the contents of the error buffer. Select the CLEAR

ERRORS menu item and press the cursor LEFT or cursor

RIGHT key. The contents of the error buffer are cleared.

The functionality of the OPTIONS and ALIGNMENTS

(TUNER, WHITE TONE, GEOMETRY, SOUND, and

SMART SETTING) submenus are described in the service

adjustments.

5.4.2 Error Code Buffer and Error Codes

Explanation of the Error Code Buffer

The error code buffer contains all errors detected since the

last time the buffer was erased. The buffer is written from left

to right. When an error occurs that is not yet in the error code

buffer, the error code will appear at the left side and all other

errors shift one position to the right.

The error code buffer will be cleared in the following cases:

• by activating CLEAR ERRORS in SAM menu

• exiting SDM or SAM with the “Standby" command on the

remote control

• upon automatic reset when content has not changed for

50 consecutive hours

By leaving SDM or SAM via the power switch, the error buffer

will not be reset.

Examples:

ERROR: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 :No errors detected

ERROR: 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 :Error code 6 is the last and only

detected error

ERROR: 9 6 0 0 0 0 0 :Error code 6 was first detected and

error code 9 is the last detected (newest) error

The contents of the error buffer can also be displayed by use

of the “blinking LED” procedure, if no picture is available. See

explanation of “The blinking LED procedure “below.

5.4.3 Error Code Definition

In case of non-intermittent faults, clear the error buffer before

starting the repair, to make sure “old” error codes are not

present. If possible check the entire content of the error

buffers. In some situations an error code is only the result of

another error code (and not the actual cause).

Note: a fault in the protection detection circuitry can also lead

to a protection.

Error codes 1,2, 3, and 4 are protection codes, and in this

case the supplies of some circuits will be switched off. Also

in protection, the LED will blink the number of times

equivalent to the most recent error code.

5.4.4 Error Code Table

5.4.5 A10 PTV Model Listing & Software

5.5 The Blinking LED Procedure

The contents of the error buffer can also be made visible

through the “blinking LED” procedure. This is especially

useful when there is no picture.

• When the SDM is entered, the LED will blink the number

of times equal to the value of the error code. Upon entry

into the SDM, the LED will blink the contents of the error-

buffer. Error-codes greater than/equal to 10 are shown in

the following manner: A long blink of 750 mSeconds

indicating the decimal digit, followed by a pause of 1500

mSeconds. The LED will then blink the number equal to

the error code. When all error-codes are displayed, the

sequence is finished with an LED display of 3 seconds.

At this point the sequence will begin again.

Example:

Error code position 1 2 3 4 5

Error buffer: 12 9 6 0 0

• After entering SDM:

• The sequence will begin with 1 long blink of 750

mSeconds, then pause 1500 mSeconds, then blink twice

(indicating error code 12), then the LED will pause for 3

seconds, then blink 9 times (indicating error code 9), then

the LED will pause for 3 seconds, then blink 6 times

(indicating error code 6), then pause 3 seconds and blink

for 3 seconds again, ending the blinking sequence.

NOTE: If errors 1, 2, 3, or 4 occur the LED ALWAYS

blinks indicating the last error which occurred, even if

the set is NOT in service mode.

5.6 Customer Service Mode

All A10 PTV sets are equipped with the “Customer Service

Mode” (CSM). CSM is a special service mode that can be

activated and deactivated by the customer, by request of the

service technician/dealer in order to identify the status of the

set. This CSM is a 'read only' mode, therefore modifications

in this mode are not possible.

5.6.1 Entering the Customer Service Mode.

The Customer Service Mode can be switched on:

• By pressing the MUTE button on the remote control and

any key on the local keyboard (Channel Up, Channel

Down, VOL +, VOL -) on the TV simultaneously for at

least 4 seconds.

When the CSM is activated:

• picture and sound settings are set to nominal levels

• Modes that interfere with the behavior of the set are

switched off (sleep timer, auto standby, etc.)

5.6.2 Exit the Customer Service Mode.

The Customer Service Mode will be switched off after:

• Pressing any key on the remote control (except “Channel

Up” or “Channel Down”)

• Switching off the TV set by pressing the Power button on

the remote control or the local keyboard.

Exiting CSM resets the TV set back to its initial values.

5.6.3 The Customer Service Mode information screen

Upon entry into the Customer Service Mode the following

screen will appear.
