1. Before returning an instrument to the customer, always make a safety check of the entire instrument,
including, but not limited to, the following items.
a. Be sure that no built-in protective devices are defective and/or have been defeated during servicing. (1) Protective
shields are provided on this chassis to protect both the technician and the customer. Correctly replace all missing
protective shields, including any removed for servicing convenience. (2) When reinstalling the chassis and/or
other assembly in the cabinet, be sure to put back in place all protective devices, including, but not limited to,
nonmetallic control knobs, insulating fishpapers, adjustment and compartment covers/shields, and isolation
resistor/capacitor networks. Do not operate this instrument or permit it to be operated without all protective
devices correctly installed and functioning.
b. Be sure that there are no cabinet openings through which an adult or child might be able to insert their fingers
and contact a hazardous voltage, Such opening include, but are not limited to, (1) spacing between the picture
tube and the cabinet mask, (2) excessively wide cabinet ventilation slots, and (3) an improperly fitted and/or
incorrectly secured cabinet back cover.
c. Leakage Current Hot Check—
——
—With the instrument completely reassembled, plug the AC line cord directly into a
120V AC outlet. (Do not use an isolation transformer during this test.) Use a leakage current tester or a metering
system that complies with American National Standards Institutes (ANSI) C101.1 Leakage Current for Appliances
and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 478. With the instrument AC switch first in the ON position and then in the
OFF position, measure from a known earth ground (metal waterpipe, conduit, etc.) to all exposed metal parts of
the instrument (antennas, handle bracket, metal cabinet, screwheads, metallic overlays, control shafts, etc.),
especially any exposed metal parts that offer an electrical return path to the chassis. Any current measured must
not exceed 3.5 milliamp. Reverse the instrument power cord plug in the outlet and repeat test. ANY
MEASUREMENTS NOT WITHIN THE LIMITS SPECIFIED HEREIN INDICATE A POTENTIAL SHOCK
HAZARD THAT MUST BE ELIMINATED BEFORE RETURNING THE INSTRUMENT TO THE CUSTOMER.
2. Read and comply with all caution and safety-related notes on or inside the Monitor cabinet, on the Projection
Monitor chassis, or on the picture tube.
3. Design Alteration Warning—
——
—Do not alter or add to the mechanical or electrical design of this unit. Design
alterations and additions, including, but not limited to, circuit modifications and the addition of the items such as
auxiliary audio and/or video output connections might alter the safety characteristics of this Projection Monitor
and create a hazard to the user. Any design alterations or additions will void the manufacturer’s warranty and will
make you, the service, responsible for personal injury or property damage resulting therefrom.

4. Hot Chassis Warning—
——
—a. Some Monitor chassis are electrically connected directly to one conductor of the AC
power cord and may be safely serviced without an isolation transformer only if the AC power plug is inserted so
that the chassis is connected to the ground side of the AC power source. To confirm that the AC power plug is
inserted correctly, with an AC voltmeter measure between the chassis and a known earth ground. If a voltage
reading in excess of 1.0V is obtained, remove and reinsert the AC power plug in opposite polarity and again
measure the voltage potential between the chassis and a known earth ground. b. Some Monitor chassis normally
have 85V AC (RMS.), between chassis and earth ground regardless of the AC plug polarity. These chassis can
be safely serviced only with an isolation transformer inserted in the power line between the receiver and the AC
power source, for both personnel and test equipment protection. c. Some Projection Monitor chassis have a
secondary ground systems in addition to the main chassis ground. This secondary ground system is not isolated
from the AC power line. The two ground system are electrically separated by insulating material that must not be
defeated or altered.
5. Observe original lead dress. Take extra care to assure correct lead dress in the following areas: a. near sharp
edges, b. near thermally hot parts—be sure that leads and components do not touch thermally hot parts, c. the
AC supply, d. high voltage, e. antenna wiring. Always inspect in all areas for pinched, out-of-place, or frayed
wiring. Do not change spacing between components, and between components and the printed-circuit board.
Check AC power cord for damage.
6. Components, parts, and/or wiring that appear to have overheated or are otherwise damaged should be replaced
with components, parts, or wireing that meet original specifications. Additionally, determine the cause of
overheating and/or damage and, if necessary, take corrective action to remove any potential safety hazard.
7. PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE—
——
—Many Monitor electrical and mechanical parts have special safety-related
characteristics some of which are often not evident from visual inspection, nor can the protection they give
necessarily be obtained by replacing them with components rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc. Parts that have
special safety characteristics are identified in this service data by shading with a mark on schematics and by
shading or a *mark in the parts list. Use of a substitute replacement part that does not have the same safety
characteristics as the recommended replacement part in this service data parts list might create shock, fire,
and/or other hazards.
