Before You Start
General Safety Precautions

3.
Use an isolation transformer in
the
power line and AC
supply to troubleshoot.
When servicing, observe the original lead dress, espe-
cially in the high voltage circuits. If a short circuit is
found, replace all parts which have been overheated or
damaged.
Before turing the display on, measure the resistance
between B+ line and chassis ground. Connect the nega-
tive side of an ohmmeter to the B+ lines and the positive
side to chassis ground. Each line should have more
resisstance
than the following specifications:
B+ Line Minimum Resistance
+2oov
119.5am
+75v
a.77m
4.
Potentials, as high as
25kV
are present when this display
is in operation. Operation of the display without the rear
cover involves the danger of a shock hazard from the
display power supply. Servicing should not be at-
tempted by anyone who is not thoroughly familiar with
the precautions necessary when working on high volt-
age equipment. Always discharge the anode of the pic-
ture tube to the display chassis before handling the tube.
5.
After servicing, be sure to check the items listed in the
Safety Checkout, below before returning the serviced
unit to the customer.

The following checks must be made after correcting
the
original service problem and before the unit is returned to the
customer.

Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly
soldered connections. Check the entire board surface for
solder splashes and bridges.
Check the inter board wiring to ensure that no wires are
pinched or coated
with
high-wattage resistors.
Check that all control knobs, shields, covers, ground
straps and mounting hardware have been replaced.
Makde absolutely sure you have replaced all the
insula-
t0l-S.
Look for any unauthorized replacement parts, particu-
larly transistors, that may have been installed dueing a
previous repair. Point
them
out to the
cusstomer
land
recommend their replacement.
Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious
signs of deterioration. Point them out to the customer
and recommend their replacement.
Check the line cord for
cracks
and abrasion. Recom-
mend the replacement of any such line cord to the
customer.
After making any repair, check the B+ and HV to see
whether they are at the values specified. Make sure your
instruments are accurate; if your HV meter always
shows a low HV, check the meter
lo
ensure it is not
malfunctioning.
Carry out the leakage current checks as detailed below
overleaf.
Leakage Current Cold Check
1.
Unplug the AC cord and connect a jumper between the
two prongs on the plug.
2. Turn on the display power switch.
3.
Use an ohmmeter to measure
the
resistance value
bc-
twcen
the
jumpered
AC plug and
each
exposed metallic
cabint part on the display, such as screwheads, terminals
control shafts.
etc.
When
an
exposed
metallic
part has a
return path to the chassis, the reading should be bctwccn
240k and
5.2M.
When exposed metal does not
have
a
return
path
lo
the chassis,
the
reading must be.
