When replacing a chassis in the instrument, all the protective devices must be put back in place, such as barriers, non-metallic knobs, adjustment and compartment covers/shields, isolation resistors! capacitors, ete 2, When service is required, observe the original lead- dress, Extra precautions should be taken to assure correct lead dress in the high voltage circuit. 3, Always use the manufacturer's replacement ‘components. Especially critical components as indicated on the circuit diagram should not be replaced by other manufacturer's. Furthermore, where a short-circuit has occurred, replace those components that indicate evidence of overheating. 4, Before roturning an instrament to the customer, the service technician must thoroughly test the unit to he certain that it is completely safe to operate without danger of electrical shock, and be sure that no protective device built into the instrument by the manufacturer has become defective or inadvertently defeated during servicing. Therefore, the following, cheeks should be performed for the continued protection of the customer and service technician, Leakage Current Cold Check With the AC plug removed from the AC120V, 60Hz source, place a jumper across the two plug prongs, ‘Turn the AC power switch on, Using an insulation tester (DC50OV), connect one lead to the jumpered AC plug and touch the other lead to exposed metal paris (antennas, serewheads, metal overlays, control shafts, ete.), particularly any exposed metal part having a return path to the chassis, Exposed metal parts having a return path to the chassis should have ‘a minimum resistor reading of 0.8 Mohm and a maximum resistor reading of 5 Mohm. Any resistor value below or above this range indicates an abnormality which requires corrective action. Exposed metal parts not having a return path to the chassis will indicate an open cireuit. Leakage Current Hot Check Plug the AC line cord directly into a AC120V, 60Hz, outlet (do not use an isolation transformer for this check. ‘Tarn the AC power switch on. Using a "Leakage Current Tester", measure for current from all exposed metal parts of the cabinet (antennas, serewheads, metal overlays, control shaft, etc.) particularly an exposed metal part having a return path to the chassis, to a known ground (earth) (water pipe, conduit, etc.). Any current measured must not exceed 0.5 mA, LEAKAGE CURRENT TESTER (READING SHOULD NoT| BE ABOVE ‘ o.5ma) DEVICE UNOER TEST TEST ALL EXPOSED METAL SURFACES J2.MIRE CORD ALSO TEST WITHPLUG. REVERSED(USING AC ADAPTER PLUG AS REQUIRED) GROUND (EARTH) AC Leakage Test ANY MEASUREMENTS NOT WITHIN THE LIMITS OUTLINED ABOVE ARE INDICATIVE OF A POTENTIAL SHOCK HAZARD AND MUST BE CORRECTED BEFORE RETURNING THE UNIT TO ‘THE CUSTOMER. PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE Many clectrical and mechanical parts have special safety-related characteristics. These are often not tvident from visual inspection nor ean the protection afforded hy them necessarily be obtained by wsing replacement components rated for a higher voltage, wattage, ete. Replacement parts which have these special safety charncterstis are identified in this Service Manual. Blectrial components having such features are identified by marking with a /\ on the schematics and the parts list in this Serviee Manvwal. ‘The use ofa substitute replacement component which does not have the same safety characteristies as the HITACHI recommended replacement one, shown in the parts list in this Service Manual, may create shock, fire, or other hazards. Product safety is continuously under roview and new instructions are issued from time to time. For the latest information, always consult the current HITACHI Service Manual.
