Important safety tests
Measuring H.V.
The anode caps are cemented to the CRTs. To gain access for high voltage measurement, remove the red CRT�s anode lead from the flyback transformer distributor. Grasp the anode lead protective cap at its bottom and squeeze it against the locking cap body inside, rotate 1/4 turn counter clockwise and pull the anode lead sleeve out of the FBT distributor. Connect a high voltage lead (+) from your H.V. meter to the FBT distributor, and the common (-) to cold ground ( ). (see figure 2). 1 Grasp protective rubber cap 2 Push & rotate cap counterclockwise to remove Anode lead 3 Discharge to CRT chassis Figure 4. DVM & power supply connection. 5. Connect the 15 ~ 25 V DC variable power supply to (+) TPD8 or IC802 pin 2 (D-Board) and (-) heat sink of Q551 (see figure 4). Procedures: 1. Apply a NTSC white pattern. 2. Turn PTV ON. 3. Adjust the picture or brightness controls so that the DVM reads 16.5 volts ± 0.5 volts. 4. Increase the variable power supply until set turns off. The set should turn off at 16.5 volts ± 0.5 volts (DVM) and high voltage less than 36.4kV. 5. If the DVM reading is other than 16.5 volts ± 0.5 volts, readjust picture or brightness control and repeat steps 3. 6. Turn off the variable supply and confirm that the set will turn on with the remote control. 4. Connect a H.V. meter (static type, class 0.1) with high voltage leads to high voltage distributor on FBT. (See figure 4)

Note:

Reinsert the anode lead into the FBT distributor until it is tightly and fully seated. Turn the locking cap clockwise to lock in place.

With the cabinet back removed, apply a nominal 120V AC to the PTV. Over voltage test Preparation: 1. Turn PTV �OFF� 2. Connect a NTSC signal generator to the antenna terminal. 3. Connect DVM (+) TPD50 and (-) TPD51 on D Board (see figure 4) Cold ground
