SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION : DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MODIFY THIS PRODUCT IN ANY WAY. NEVER PERFORM CUSTOMIZED INSTALLATIONS WITHOUT MANUFAC- TURER'S APPROVAL. UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS WILL NOT ONLY VOID THE WARRANTY, BUT MAY LEAD TO YOUR BEING LIABLE FOR ANT RESULT- ING PROPERTY DAMAGE OR USER INJURY.
SERVICE WORK SHOULD BE PERFORMED ONLY AFTER YOU ARE THOR- OUGHLY FAMILIAR WITH ALL OF THE FOLLOWING SAFETY CHECKS AND SERVICING GUIDELINES. TO DO OTHERWISE, INCREASES THE RISK OF POTENTIAL HAZARDS AND INJURY TO THE USER.
WHILE SERVICING, USE AN ISOLATION TRANSFORMER FOR PROTECTION FROM A.C. LINE SHOCK.
SAFETY CHECKS
AFTER THE ORIGINAL SERVICE PROBLEM HAS BEEN CORRECTED, A CHECK SHOULD BE MADE OF THE FOLLOWING:
SUBJECT:FIRE & SHOCK HAZARD
1.BE SURE THAT ALL COMPONENTS ARE POSITIONED IN SUCH A WAY AS TO AVOID POSSIBILITY OF ADJACENT COMPONENT SHORTS. THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT ON THOSE MODULES WHICH ARE TRANS- PORTED TO AND FROM THE REPAIR SHOP.
2.NEVER RELEASE A REPAIR UNLESS ALL PROTECTIVE DEVICES SUCH AS INSULATORS, BARRIERS, COVERS, SHIELDS, STRAIN RELIEFS, POWER SUPPLY CORDS, AND OTHER HARDWARE HAVE BEEN REINSTALLED PER ORIGINAL DESIGN. BE SURE, THAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THE POLARIZED LINE PLUG HAS NOT BEEN DEFEATED.
3.SOLDERING MUST BE INSPECTED TO DISCOVER POSSIBLE COLD SOL- DER JOINTS, SOLDER SPLASHES OF SHARP SOLDER POINTS. BE CER- TAIN TO REMOVE ALL LOOSE FOREIGN PARTICLES.
4.CHECK FOR PHYSICAL EVIDENCE OF DAMAGE OR DETERIORATION TO PARTS AND COMPONENTS, FOR FRAYED LEADS, DAMAGED INSULATION (INCLUDING A.C. CORD), AND REPLACE IF NECESSARY. FOLLOW ORIGI- NAL LAYOUT, LEAD LENGTH AND DRESS.
5.NO LEAD OR COMPONENT SHOULD TOUCH A RECEIVING TUBE OR A RESISTOR RATED AT 1 WATT OR MORE. LEAD TENSION AROUND PRO- TRUDING METAL SURFACES MUST BE AVOIDED.
6.ALL CRITICAL COMPONENTS SUCH AS FUSES, FLAMEPROOF RESISTOR, CAPACITORS, ETC. MUST BE REPLACED WITH EXACT FACTORY TYPES. DO NOT USE REPLACEMENT COMPONENTS OTHER THAN THOSE SPECI- FIED OR MAKE UNRECOMMENDED CIRCUIT MODIFICATIONS.
7.AFTER
TOR BETWEEN A KNOWN GOOD EARTH GROUND (WATER POPE, CON- DUIT, ETC.) AND THE EXPOSED METALLIC PARTS, ONE AT A TIME. MEASURE THE A.C. VOLTAGE ACROSS THE COMBINATION OF 1500 OHM RESISTOR AND .15 MFD CAPACITOR. REVERSE THE A.C. PLUG AND REPEAT A.C. VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS FOR EACH EXPOSED METALLIC PART. VOLTAGE MEASURED MUST NOT EXCEED .75 VOLTS R.M.S THIS CORRESPONDS TO 0.5 MILLIAMP A.C. NAY VALUE EXCEEDING THIS LIMIT CONSTITUTES A POTENTIAL SHOCK HAZARD AND MUST BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY.
SUBJECT : X-RADIATION

2.ONLY FACTORY SPECIFIED C.R.T ANODE CONNECTORS MUST BE USED.DEGAUSSING SHIELDS ALSO SERVE AS
3.IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT SERVICE PERSONNEL HAVE AVAILABLE AN ACCU- RATE AND RELIABLE HIGH VOLTAGE METER. THE CALIBRATION OF THE METER SHOULD BE CHECKED PERIODICALLY AGAINST A REFERENCE STANDARD. SUCH AS THE ONE AVAILABLE AT YOUR DISTRIBUTOR.
4.WHEN THE HIGH VOLTAGE CIRCUITRY IS OPERATING PROPERLY THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY OF AN
5.WHEN TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAKING TEST MEASUREMENTS IN A PRODUCT WITH A PROBLEM OF EXCESSIVE HIGH VOLTAGE, AVOID BEING UNNECESSARILY CLOSE TO THE PICTURE TUBE AND THE HIGH VOLTAGE SUPPLY. DO NOT OPERATE THE PRODUCT LONGER THAN IS NECESSARY TO LOCATE THE CAUSE OF EXCESSIVE VOLTAGE.
6.REFER TO HV, B+ AND SHUTDOWN ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES DESCRIBED IN THE APPROPRIATE SCHEMATIC AND DIAGRAMS (WHERE USED).
SUBJECT : IMPLOSION
1.ALL DIRECT VIEWED PICTURE TUBES ARE EQUIPPED WITH AN INTEGRA IMPLOSION PROTECTION SYSTEM. BUT CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID DAMAGE DURING INSTALLATION. AVOID SCRATCHING THE TUBE. OF SCRATCHED REPLACE IT.
2.USE ONLY RECOMMENDED FACTORY REPLACEMENT TUBES.
SUBJECT : TIPS ON PROPER INSTALLATION
1. NEVER INSTALL ANY PRODUCT IN A |
CLOSELY FITTING SHELF SPACE, OVER OR CLOSE TO HEAT DUCT, OR IN |
THE PATH OF HEATED AIR FLOW. |
2. AVOID CONDITIONS OF HIGH HUMIDITY SUCH AS: OUTDOOR PATIO |
INSTALLATIONS WHERE DEW IS A FACTOR, NEAR STEAM RADIATORS |
WHERE STEAM LEAKAGE IS A FACTOR, ETC. |
3. AVOID PLACEMENT WHERE DRAPERIES MAY OBSTRUCT REAR VENTING. |
THE CUSTOMER SHOULD ALSO AVOID THE USE OF DECORATIVE |
SCARVES OR OTHER COVERINGS WHICH MIGHT OBSTRUCT VENTILA- |
TION. |
