SAFETY RELATED ADJUSTMENTS

4-1. R584 CONFIRMATION METHOD (HV HOLD-DOWN CONFIRMATION) AND READJUSTMENTS

The following adjustments should always be performed when replacing the following components which are marked with on the schematic diagram:

DY, C508, C505, C507, C509, C511, C515, C520, C573, C574, C575, D572, D573, D574, IC301, IC521, IC602, L591, L501, R582, R583, R585, R578, R586, R625, R626, T504

Preparation Before Confirmation

1.Using a Variac, apply AC input voltage: 120 ± 2 VAC

(or 120-220 ± 2 VAC for KV-29AL42/29AL42C/29AL66/ 29AL66C/29SL42/29SL42C/29SL46/29XL42M only.)

2.Turn the POWER switch ON.

3.Input a white signal and set the PICTURE and BRIGHTNESS controls to maximum.

4.Confirm that the voltage between C574 (+) or TP503 and ground is more than 105 VDC.

Hold-down Operation Confirmation

1.Connect the current meter between Pin 11 of the FBT (T505) and the PWB land where Pin 11 would normally attach. (See Figure 1 on the next page.)

2.Input a dot signal and set PICTURE and BRIGHTNESS to minimum: IABL = 100 + 100/-95 A.

3.Confirm the voltage of A Board TP-600 is 135 ± 3 VDC.

4.Connect the digital voltmeter and the DC power supply via diode 1SS119 to C574 (+) and ground. (See Figure 1 on the next page.)

5.Increase the DC power voltage gradually until the picture blanks out.

6.Turn DC power source off immediately.

7.Read the digital voltmeter indication (Standard: less than or equal to 141.3 VDC).

8.Input a white signal and set PICTURE and BRIGHTNESS to maximum.

9.Repeat steps 4 to 7.

Hold-down Readjustment

If the setting indicated in step 2 of Hold-down Operation Confirmation cannot be met, readjustment should be performed by altering the resistance value of R584, components marked with .

1.Using a Variac, apply AC input voltage: 130 ± 2 VAC (or 120-220 ± 2 for KV-29AL42/29AL42C/29AL66/ 29AL66C/29SL42/29SL42C/29SL46/29XL42M only.)

2.Input a dot signal.

3.Set the PICTURE and BRIGHTNESS controls to minimum.

4.Set to service adjustment mode.

5.Select PADJ with and .

6.Adjust with to the 0 level.

7.Confirm that the voltage of A Board TP-600 is less than 138 VDC.

8.If step 7 is not satisfied, replace the components listed above, then repeat the above steps.

9.Adjust with and for: 135+ 3 VDC

10.Write into the memory by pressing then
