SAFETY CHECK-OUT
(US model)
After correcting the original service problem, perform the
following safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, "metallized" knobs,
screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage. Check
leakage as described below.
LEAKAGE
The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth Ground
and from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part
having a return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500
microampers). Leakage current can be measured by any one of
three methods.
1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or
RCA WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers' instructions to
use these instruments.
2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The Data Precision
245 digital multimeter is suitable for this job.
3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a
VOM or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The "limit"
indication is 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate
low-voltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd
are examples of a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all
battery operated digital multimeters that have a 2V AC range
are suitable. (See Fig. A)
