IdentificationandStatus
To indicate the status of a drawing, a box with the
numbers 0 to 9 is shown in the bottom-right of the
drawing. The number that is crossed-out is the status
numberof the drawing. Forexample, in the illustration
below, the status is 1.
A sticker is used on the units themselves to identify
them and to indicate their status. For example, in the
illustration below, the top line is the 12-digit number
that identifies the unit type.
The first four digits of the number on the second line
representadatecode(year, week); the next fourdigits
represent the serial number for that week.
Thenumberin the grey areaindicatesthestatus of the
unit. The last two digits represent the number that will
be given to the next status. However, if these two
digits are contained in a box, then this is the current
status. For example, in the illustration above, the
current status of the unit is 01.
Line 1 392240700000
Line 2 123456AA0101
Line 3 VR/0123456789
Line 1
This is the code number of the printed circuit board
assy. (PCB)
Line 2
This is the serial number of the PCB. The first 6 digits
andthe2letters are for internal use.Thelastfourdigits

Example:
123456AA1402 means the PCB is manufactured in
week 14 of the year 2002.
Line 3
This is the status of the PCB.
The digit after the first slash is the status. If there is no
number before the slash, it means that the status is
less than 10, a 1 before the slash means the status
is between 10 and 19, a 2 before the slash means
between 20 and 29 etc.
Example:
- VR4567891012 means status 4
- VR3/78901234 means status 37.

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
complywith recognized codes pertainingtoX-ray emission.
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 cathoderay tube onlywhen wearingshatterproof
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.

Introduction
This unit is factory tested and adjusted for operational
use.Under normalcircumstances,theinternalautomatic
calibrationproceduresdonot need to bestartedandthe
internal potentiometers do not need to be adjusted.
The only situation that might require some realignment
of the adapter is when a printed circuit board has been
replaced.
If the Encoder board is replaced, follow the procedure
for its readjustment. The encoder timing adjustments
can be carried out via the menu system.
Ifitisdiscoveredthat the unit is misaligned, thefollowing
procedures are given as a guide for competent service
personnel, who have a thorough knowledge of the
camera and have the use of calibrated equipment, to
realign the unit.
If no improvement can be achieved or an adjustment is
out of range, please contact your local supplier or the
nearest Thomson Multimedia Broadcast Solutions
ServiceCentre.
The adjustment procedures are designed as separate
units. Within a numbered procedure do not change the
position of switches or jumpers unless instructed to do
so in the procedure.
These adjustment procedures are for the Betacam
Adapter.
However, for practical purposes the Betacam Adapter
isusedtogether with thecamerahead to facilitate some
measurements.
