Leakage current hot check
Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use an isolation transformer during the check.
Connect a 1.5k 10 watt resistor in parallel with a 0.15 F capacitor between an exposed
metallic part and ground. Use earth ground, for example a water pipe.
Using a DVM with a 1000 ohms/volt sensitivity or higher, measure the AC potential across the
resistor.
Repeat the procedure and measure the voltage present with all other exposed metallic parts.
Verify that any potential does not exceed 0.75 volt RMS. A leakage current tester (such a
Simpson model 229, Sencore model PR57 or equivalent) may be used in the above procedure, in
which case any current measure must not exceed 0.5 milliampere.If any measurement is out of
the specified limits, there is a possibility of a shock hazard and the receiver must be repaired and
rechecked before it is returned to the customer.
Hot check circuit
Insulation test
Connect an insulation tester between an exposed metallic part and A.C. line. Apply 1080VAC/
60Hz for 1 second. Confirm that the current measurement is 0.5mA ~ 2.0mA. Repeat test with
other metallic exposed parts.
X ray radiation
WARNING
The potential source of x ray radiation in the PTV set is in the high voltage section and the
picture tube.
NOTE
It is important to use an accurate, calibrated high voltage meter.
Apply all black video signals (1080i) and confirm high voltage measures 31.5 ± 1.0kV. If the high
voltage is not within the range, change C514 to 1800pF, 2000pF, 2400pF or 2700pF until the
desired value is obtained.ApplyNTSC white pattern and confirm the high voltage measures 30.1 ±
1.5kV. Apply HD 1080i white pattern and confirm the high voltage measures 30.1 ± 1.5kV.
