SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

NOTICE:

Comply with all cautions and safety related notes located on or inside the cabinet and on the chassis.

1.When replacing a chassis in the instrument, all the protective devices must be put back in place, such as barriers, non-metallic knobs, adjustment and compartment covers/shields, isolation resistors/ capacitors, etc.

2.When service is required, observe the original lead- ress. Extra precautions should be taken to assure correct lead dress in the high voltage circuit.

3.Always use the manufacturer's replacement components. Especially critical components as indicated on the circuit diagram should not be replaced by other manufacturer's. Furthermore, where a short-circuit has occurred, replace those components that indicate evidence of overheating.

4.Before returning an instrument to the customer, the service technician must thoroughly test the unit to be certain that it is completely safe to operate without danger of electrical shock, and be sure that no protective device built into the instrument by the manufacturer has become defective or inadvertently defeated during servicing. Therefore, the following checks should be performed for the continued protection of the customer and service technician.

Leakage Current Cold Check

With the AC plug removed from the AC120V, 60Hz source, place a jumper across the two plug prongs. Turn the AC power switch on. Using an insulation tester (DC500V), connect one lead to the jumpered AC plug and touch the other lead to exposed metal parts (antennas, screwheads, metal overlays,

control shafts, etc.), particularly any exposed metal part having a eturn path to the chassis. Exposed metal parts having a return path to the chassis should have a minimum resistor reading of 0.3 Mohm and a maximum resistor reading of 5 Mohm. Any resistor value below or above this range indicates an abnormality which requires corrective action. Exposed metal parts not having a return path to the chassis will indicate an open circuit.

Leakage Current Hot Check

Plug the AC line cord directly into a AC120V, 60Hz outlet (do not use an isolation transformer for this check).

Turn the AC power switch on. Using a "Leakage Current Tester", measure for current from all exposed metal parts of the cabinet (antennas, screwheads, metal overlays, control shaft, etc.), particularly an exposed metal part having a return path to the chassis, to a known ground (earth) (water pipe, conduit, etc.). Any current measured must not exceed 0.5 mA.

PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE

Many electrical and mechanical parts have special safety- related characteristics. These are often not evident from visual inspection nor can the protection afforded by them necessarily be obtained by using replacement components rated for a higher voltage, wattage, etc. Replacement parts which have these special safety characteristics are identified in this Service Manual. Electrical components having such features are identified

by marking with aon the schematics and the parts list in this Service Manual. The use of a substitute replacement component which does not have the same safety characteristics as the HITACHI recommended replacement one, shown in the parts list in this Service Manual, may create shock, fire, or other hazards. Product safety is continuously under review and new instructions are issued from time to time. For the latest information, always consult the current HITACHI Service Manual.
