Manual de Servicio

ing is performed that involves B+, horizontal deflection or high voltage. Correct operation of the X-radiation protection circuits also must be reconfirmed each time they are serviced. (X-radiation protection circuits also may be called "horizontal disable" or "hold down.") Read and apply the high voltage limits and, if the chassis is so equipped, the X-radiation protection circuit specifications given on instrument labels and in the Product Safety & X-Radiation Warning note on the service data chassis schematic. High voltage is maintained within specified limits by close tolerance safety-related components/adjustments in the high-voltage circuit. If high voltage exceeds specified limits, check each component specified on the chassis schematic and take corrective action. 2. Read and comply with all caution and safety-related notes on or inside the receiver cabinet, on the receiver chassis, or on the picture tube. 3. Design Alteration Warning - Do not alter or add to the mechanical or electrical design of this TV receiver. Design alterations and additions, including, but not limited to circuit modifications and the addition of items such as auxiliary audio and/or video output connections, might alter the safety characteristics of this receiver and create a hazard to the user. Any design alterations or additions will void the manufacturer's warranty and may make you, the servicer, responsible for personal injury or property damage resulting therefrom. 4. Picture Tube Implosion Protection Warning The picture tube in this receiver employs integral implosion protection. For continued implosion protection, replace the picture tube only with one of the same type number. Do not remove, install, or otherwise handle the picture tube in any manner without first putting on shatterproof goggles equipped with side shields. People not so equipped must be kept safely away while picture tubes are handled. Keep the picture tube away from your body. Do not handle the picture tube by its neck. Some "in-line" picture tubes are equipped with a permanently attached deflection yoke; because of potential hazard, do not try to remove such "permanently attached" yokes from the picture tube. 5. Hot Chassis Warning a. Some TV receiver chassis are electrically connected directly to one conductor of the AC power cord and may be safety-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 the opposite polarity and again measure the voltage potential between the chassis and a known earth ground. b. Some TV receiver chassis normally have 85V AC(RMS) between chassis and earth ground regardless of the AC plug polarity. This chassis can be safety-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 TV receiver chassis have a secondary ground system in addition to the main chassis ground. This secondary ground system is not isolated from the AC power line. The two ground systems are electrically separated by insulation material that must not be defeated or altered. 6. 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, and e. antenna wiring. Always inspect in all areas for pinched, out of place, or frayed wiring. Check AC power cord for damage. 7. Components, parts, and/or wiring that appear to have overheated or are otherwise damaged should be replaced with components, parts, or wiring 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. 8. Product Safety Notice - Some electrical and mechanical parts have special safety-related characteristics 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 by a ( # ) on schematics and in parts lists. Use of a substitute replacement that does not have the same safety characteristics as the recommended replacement part might create shock, fire, and/or other hazards. The Product's Safety is under review continuously and new instructions are issued whenever appropriate. Prior to shipment from the factory, our products are strictly inspected to confirm with the recognized product safety and electrical codes of the countries in which they are to be sold. However, in order to maintain such compliance, it is equally important to implement the following precautions when a set is being serviced.
