3 Service Navigation
3.1 Introduction
This service manual contains technical information, which will allow service personnel's to understand and service this model.
Please place orders using the parts list and not the drawing reference numbers.
If the circuit is changed or modified, the information will be followed by service manual to be controlled with original service manual.
3.2 Air-leak test (inspection)
This does not guarantee no destruction, no malfunction, or waterproofing in all conditions.
*1 This means that the camera can be used underwater for specified time in specified pressure in accordance with the handling method established by Panasonic.
*2 "MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock" is the test method standard of the U.S. Defense Department, which specifies performing drop tests from a height of 122 cm (4 feet),
at 26 orientations (8 corners, 12 ridges, 6 faces) using 5 sets of devices, and passing the 26 orientation drops within 5 devices. (If failure occurs during the test, a new set is
used to pass the drop orientation test within a total of 5 devices)
Panasonic’s test method is based on the above "MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock". However, the drop height was changed from 122 cm (4.0 feet) to 150 cm (5 feet)
dropping onto 3 cm (0.1 feet) thick plyboard. This drop test was passed.
(Disregarding appearance change such as loss of paint or distortion of the part where drop impact is applied.)
Due to the above characteristics of the products, perform the air-leak test (inspection) using Air -leak tester (Part No.:RFKZ0528) before/after servicing including
assembly and/or assembly process.
Note:
The purpose of the air-leak test before servicing is that whether the malfunction occurred due to air-leak or not.
When servicing, refer to the "7.
Troubleshooting Guide
" section for details.
3.3 Replacing the waterproof packing (waterproof seal)
The integrity of the waterproof packing may decrease about 1 year, with use and age.
(We recommend end users to replace the waterproof packing (waterproof seal) at least once each year described in the operating instructions.)
As for replacement procedure, refer to the "7.1.2.
Periodical maintenance (Packing replacement) flow
" for details.
3.4 Camera Lens Unit
Since the lens unit for this model is assembled with high accuracy manufacturing technologies, it is not allowed to disassemble/assemble the lens unit, in terms
of performance retention.
When servicing, it has to be handled the "Camera Lens Unit" as the smallest part size.
Confirm the replacement part list and exploded views for details.
3.5 General Description About Lead Free Solder (PbF)
The lead free solder has been used in the mounting process of all electrical components on the printed circuit boards used for this equipment in considering the globally
environmental conservation.
The normal solder is the alloy of tin (Sn) and lead (Pb). On the other hand, the lead free solder is the alloy mainly consists of tin (Sn), silver (Ag) and Copper (Cu), and the
melting point of the lead free solder is higher approx.30 °C (86 °F) more than that of the normal solder.
Definition of P.C.B. Lead Free Solder being used
Service caution for repair work using Lead Free Solder (PbF)
The lead free solder has to be used when repairing the equipment for which the lead free solder is used.
Waterproof/Dustproof Performance
This camera's waterproof/dustproof rating complies with the "IPX8" and "IP6X" ratings. Provided the care and maintenance guidelines described in this document are strictly
followed, this camera can operate underwater, to a depth not exceeding 7 m (23 feet) for a time not exceeding 60 minutes. (*1)
Anti-shock Performance
This camera also complies with "MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock". The camera has cleared a drop test from a height of 1.5 m (5 feet) onto 3 cm (0.1 feet) thick plywood.
In most cases this camera should not sustain any damage if dropped from a height not exceeding 1.5 m (5 feet). (*2)
The letter of
is printed either foil side or components side on the P.C.B. using the lead free solder.
