SAFETY CHECK-OUT (US MODEL)
After correcting the original service problem, perform the follow-
ing safety check before releasing the set to the customer:
Checktheantenna terminals, metaltrim,“metallized” knobs, screws,
and all other exposed metal parts forAC leakage.
Check leakage as described below.
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 to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microampers.).
Leakage current can be measured by any one of three methods.
1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA
WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers’ instructions to use these
instruments.
2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The Data Precision 245
digital multimeter is suitable for this job.
3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a
VOM or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The “limit” indica-
tion is 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-
voltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are ex-
amples of a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery
operated digital multimeters that have a 2 V AC range are suit-
able. (See Fig. A)

NOTE OF REPLACING THE IC3511 AND IC3513 ON THE
HDMI RE BOARD
When IC3511 and IC3513 on the HDMI RE board are damaged,
exchange the new HDMI RE board for the HDMI RE board which
IC damaged. When throwing away the HDMI RE board, be sure to
throw away after destroying IC3511 and IC3513 physically with
the hammer etc.
