Self-Diagnostic Circuit
+B overcurrent (OCP)
Occurs when an overcurrent (more than 6A) on the +B (135V) line is detected by R6598/
R6591. It will cause Q6520 to turn on and force the AC relay to turn off through Q6532 and
Q6530.

+B overvoltage (OVP)
Occurs when 1) overvoltage (more than +140V) on the +B (135V) line is detected by IC6505
or 2) an overvoltage (more than 7.5V) on the unreg 7V line is detected by D6014. The AC

SAFETY CHECK-OUT
Leakage Test
The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth
ground and from all exposed metal parts to any exposed
metal part having a return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5
mA (500 microamperes). Leakage current can be
measured by any one of three methods.

mA (500 microamperes). Leakage current can be

or RCA WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers'
instructions to use these instructions.

2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The Data Precision
245 digital multimeter is suitable for this job.
3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means
of a VOM or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The “limit”
indication is 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an
accurate low voltage scale. The Simpson’s 250 and
Sanwa SH-63TRD are examples of passive VOMs that
are suitable. Nearly all battery-operated digital
multimeters that have a 2 VAC range are suitable
(see Figure A).

How to Find a Good Earth Ground
A cold-water pipe is a guaranteed earth ground; the cover-
plate retaining screw on most AC outlet boxes is also at earth
ground. If the retaining screw is to be used as your earth
ground, verify that it is at ground by measuring the resistance
between it and a cold-water pipe with an ohmmeter. The
reading should be zero ohms. If a cold-water pipe is not
accessible, connect a 60- to 100-watt trouble- light (not a
neon lamp) between the hot side of the receptacle and the
retaining screw. Try both slots, if necessary, to locate the hot
side on the line; the lamp should light at normal brilliance if the
screw is at ground potential (see Figure B).
