SAFETY

CHECK-OUT

(US

Model)

After

correcting

the

original

service

problem,

perform

the

following

safety

check

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

TEST

The

AC

leakage

from

any

exposed

meta!

part

to

earth

ground

and

from

all

exposed

metal

parts

to

any

exposed

metal

part

having

a

return

to

chassis,

must

not

exceed

0.5mA

(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

the

manufacturers’

instructions

to

use

ments.

meter.

The
