SAFETY CHECK-OUT
LEAKAGE TEST
The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground and
from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a
return tochassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA(500microamperes).
Leakage current can be measured by any one of three methods.
1. Acommercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA
WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers' instructions to use these
instruments.
2. Abattery-operated AC milliammeter. The Data Precision 245
digital multimeter is suitable for this job.
3. Measuring the voltagedropacross aresistorby meansofa
VOM or battery-operatedAC voltmeter. The “limit” indication
is 0.75V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-voltage
scale.TheSimpson250 and SanwaSH-63Trdareexamplesofa
passiveVOMthatis suitable. Nearly allbatteryoperateddigital
multimeters that have a 2VAC range are suitable. (See Fig. A)
1. Check
thearea of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-soldered
connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashes
and bridges.
2. Checktheinterboardwiringtoensurethatnowiresare“pinched”
or contact high-wattage resistors.
3. Lookforunauthorizedreplacementparts,particularlytransistors,
that were installed during a previous repair. Point them out to
the customer and recommend their replacement.
4. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs
ofdeterioration.Pointthemouttothecustomerand recommend
their replacement.
5. Check the line cord for cracks and abrasion. Recommend the
replacement of any such line cord to the customer.
6. Check the B+ voltage to see it isat the values specified.
7. Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs,
screws,and all otherexposedmetalpartsforACleakage.Check
leakage as described below.
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following
safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
1.5k Ω 0.15µF(0.75 V)

Unleaded solder
Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the lead-
free mark (LF) indicating the solder contains no lead.
(Caution: Some printed circuit boards may not come printed with
the lead free mark due to their particular size.)
: LEAD FREE MARK
Unleaded solder has the following characteristics.
 Unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40°C higher than
ordinary solder.
Ordinary soldering irons can be used but the iron tip has to be
applied to the solder joint for a slightly longer time.
Soldering irons using a temperature regulator should be set to
about 350°C.
Caution: The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if the
heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful!
 Strong viscosity
Unleaded solder is more viscous (sticky, less prone to flow) than
ordinarysolder so use caution not to let solder bridges occur such
as on IC pins, etc.
 Usable with ordinary solder
It is best to use only unleaded solder but unleaded solder may
also be added to ordinary solder.
CAUTION:
The use of optical instrument with this product will increase eye
hazard.
CAUTION
Useofcontrolsoradjustmentsorperformance ofprocedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radia-
tion exposure.
This labelis located on the laser
protectivehousing inside the
enclosure.
