Cathode ray tubes
Components marked on the circuit diagram are critical
for safety and include those specified to comply with X-ray
emission standards for units using cathode ray tubes and
those specified for compliance with various regulations
regarding spurious radiation emission.
When servicing units that use cathode ray tubes (CRTs),
the cathode ray tubes themselves, the high voltage circuits
and related circuits are specifically chosen so that they
complywithrecognized codes pertaining toX-rayemission.
Consequently, when servicing, replace the cathode ray
tubes and other parts with specified parts only. Do not
attempt to modify these circuits as any unauthorized
modification can increase the high voltage value and
cause X-ray emission from the cathode ray tube.
Handlethe cathoderaytube onlywhenwearing shatterproof
goggles and after discharging the high voltage completely.
Earthing
The rear of a CPU has two separate screw terminals for
protective earth (PE) and video earth (VE).
These are normally connected by a metal strap. The
protective earth terminal is internally connected to the
protective earth conductor of the power cable. If required,
the central earth connection wire of the studio can be
connected to terminal PE.
In normal circumstances the connection between the
protective earth and the video earth should not be broken.
The metal strap may be removed only if the studio (or OB
van) is equipped with separate protective and video earth
systems. Under these circumstances the video earth
terminal must be connected to the central functional earth
potential (video earth) of the studio. This earth potential
should have functional protective and noiseless earth
(FPE) qualities as stated in the VDE regulation 0800/part2.
A low impedance interconnection of both earth conductors
must be provided at the central studio earthing point.
WARNING
THE UNIT MUST ALWAYS BE CONNECTED TO
PROTECTIVE EARTH.
