1. Unplug the AC cord and connect a jumper between the two
prongs on the plug.
2. Measure the resistance value, with an ohmmeter, between
the jumpered AC plug and each exposed metallic cabinet
part on the equipment such as screwheads, connectors,
control shafts, etc. When the exposed metallic part has a
return path to the chassis, the reading should be between
1M
part on the equipment such as screwheads, connectors,
control shafts, etc. When the exposed metallic part has a
return path to the chassis, the reading should be between
1M
W and 5.2MW. When the exposed metal does not have
a return path to the chassis, the reading must be infinity.
1.1.2. Leakage current hot check (See
Figure 1)
1. Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use an
isolation transformer for this check.
2. Connect “A” to exposed metallic part on the set. And
connect “B” to a good earth ground, as shown in Figure 1.
3. Use an AC voltmeter, with 1 k
W/V or more sensitivity, to
measure the potential across the resistor.
4. Check each exposed metallic part, and measure the
voltage at each point.
5. Reverse the AC plug in the AC outlet and repeat each of the
above measurements.
6. The potential at any point should not exceed 0.25 V RMS.
A leakage current tester (Simpson Model 229 or equivalent)
may be used to make the hot checks, leakage current must
not exceed 1/2 mA. In case a measurement is outside of
the limits specified, there is a possibility of a shock hazard,
and the equipment should be repaired and rechecked
before it is returned to the customer.

1.1. General Guidelines
1. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
There are special components used in this equipment which are important for safety. These parts are marked by in the
Schematic Diagrams, Circuit Board Layout, Exploded Views and Replacement Parts List. It is essential that these critical parts
should be replaced with manufacturer’s specified parts to prevent X-RADIATION, shock fire, or other hazards. Do not modify
the original design without permission of manufacturer.

should be replaced with manufacturer’s specified parts to prevent X-RADIATION, shock fire, or other hazards. Do not modify
the original design without permission of manufacturer.
2. An Isolation Transformer should always be used during the servicing of AC Adaptor whose chassis is not isolated from the AC
power line. Use a transformer of adequate power rating as this protects the technician from accidents resulting in personal injury
from electrical shocks. It will also protect AC Adaptor from being damaged by accidental shorting that may occur during
servicing.
from electrical shocks. It will also protect AC Adaptor from being damaged by accidental shorting that may occur during
servicing.
3. When servicing, observe the original lead dress. It a short circuit is found, replace all parts which have been overheated or
damaged by the short circuit.
4. After servicing, see to it that all the protective devices such as insulation barriers, insulation papers shields are properly
installed.
5. After servicing, make the following leakage current checks to prevent the customer from being exposed to shock hazards.

2.1. Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) to Electrostatic Sensitive
(ES) Devices
Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are called
Electrostatic Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of typical ES devices are integrated circuits and some field-effect transistors and
semiconductor “chip” components. The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage
caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Electrostatic Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of typical ES devices are integrated circuits and some field-effect transistors and
semiconductor “chip” components. The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage
caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any ESD on your
body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available discharging ESD wrist strap,
which should be removed for potential shock reasons prior to applying power to the unit under test.
which should be removed for potential shock reasons prior to applying power to the unit under test.
2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ES devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface such as
aluminum foil, to prevent electrostatic charge buildup or exposure of the assembly.
3. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder ES devices.
4. Use only an antistatic solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as “antistatic (ESD protected)” can

5. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ES devices.
6. Do not remove a replacement ES device from its protective package until immediately before you are ready to install it. (Most

7. Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement ES device, touch the protective material
to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be installed.
CAUTION:
CAUTION:
Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or circuit, and observe all other safety precautions.
8. Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged replacement ES devices. (Otherwise harmless motion such as the
brushing together of your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity (ESD)
