the exposed metallic part has a return path to thechassis, the reading
should be between 1M and 5.2M . / When the exposed metal does
not have a return path to the chassis, the reading must be .

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 1.5k , 10 watts resistor, in parallel with a 0.15 F
capacitors, between each exposed metallic part on the set and a good
earth ground such as a water pipe, as shown in
Figure 1 .
3. Use an AC voltmeter, with 1000 ohms/volt 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 0.75 volts RMS. A leakage
current tester (Simpson Model 229 or equivalent) may be used to make
the hot checks, leakage current mu3st not exceed 1/2 milliamp. In case
a measurement is outsideof 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.
2. PREVENTION OF ELECTRO STATIC DISCHARGE
(ESD) TO ELECTROSTATICALLY SENSITIVE (ES)
DEVICES
Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such
components commonly are called Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of typical ES
devices are integrated circuits and some field-effect transistorsand semiconductor "chip" components.
The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused
by electro static discharge (ESD).
