SERVICE NOTE
• NOT FOR REPAIR
[Discharging of the FLASH unit’s charging capacitor]
The charging capacitor of the FLASH unit is charged up to the
maximum 300 V potential.
There is a danger of electric shock by this high voltage when the
capacitor is handled by hand. The electric shock is caused by the
charged voltage which is kept without discharging when the main
power of the MVC-FD85/FD90 is simply turned off. Therefore,
the remaining voltage must be discharged as described below.
Preparing the Short Jig
To preparing the short jig. a small clip is attached to each end of a
resistor of 1 k
Ω
/1 W (1-215-869-11)
Wrap insulating tape fully around the leads of the resistor to prevent
electrical shock.
1 k
Ω
/1 W
Wrap insulating tape.
Make sure that the flat cable and flexible board are not cracked of
bent at the terminal.
Do not insert the cable insufficiently nor crookedly.
Cut and remove the part of gilt
which comes off at the point.
(Take care that there are
