SERVICING OF HIGH VOLTAGE SYSTEM AND CRT
It is important that the static charge is removed from the high voltage system when carrying out work
onthereceiver.Thiscanbeachievedbyconnectinga10Kresistor(withasuitablyinsulatedlead)from

nected from the receiver.
Note the following:
•The CRT in this receiver employs Integral Implosion Protection.
•If the CRT has to be changed it MUST be replaced with the correct type for continued safe
working
•DO NOT lift the CRT by its neck.
•When handing the CRT, ensure that shatterproof goggles are worn.
•Ensure that the CRT is discharge before handling.
X-RAY
This receiver is designed to keep any x-ray emission to an absolute minimum. Some fault conditions
andservicing proceduresmay producepotentiallyhazardous x-rayradiation levels.This is a problem
when in close proximity to the receiver for long periods of time. Toreduce any risks associated with
this, please observe the following precautions:
1.Whenundertakinganyservicingonthischassis,DONOTincreasetheEHT tomore than 30.5 KV,
(at a instantaneous beam current of 1300µΑ).
2.EnsurethatduringnormaloperationtheEHTdoesnotexceed25.0KV±1.5KV(atabeamcurrentof
1100µΑ). This level has been preset in the factory. Always check that this level has not been ex-
ceeded after carrying out any repair on the receiver.
3. DO NOT replacethe CRT with any other type than that specified in the parts listing as this may
cause excessive x-ray radiation.
