generate static electricity sufficient to damage an ES device.)



LEAKAGE TEST (FOR SERVICE ENGINEERS IN THE U.S.A.)
Before returning the unit to the user, preform the following safety checks:

1. Inspect all lead dress to make certain that leads are not pinched or that hardware is not lodged between parts in the unit.

2. Be sure that any protective devices such as nonmetallic control knobs, insulating fishpapers, cabinet backs, adjustment and compartment covers or
shields, isolation resistor-capacity networks, mechanical insulators, etc. which were removed for servicing are properly reinstalled.

3. Be sure that no shock hazard exists; check for leakage
current using Simpson Model 229 Leakage Tester, standard
equipment item No. 21641, RCA Model WT540A or use
alternate method as follows: Plug the power cord directly into
a 120-volt AC receptacle (do not use an Isolation
Transformer for this test). Using two clip leads, connect a
1500 Ohm, 10-watt resistor parallel by a 0.15m F capacitor, in
series with all exposed metal cabinet parts and a known
earth ground, such as a water pipe or conduit. Use a VTVM
or VOM with 1000 Ohms per volt, or higher sensitivity to
measure the AC voltage drop across the resister. (See
Diagram.) Move the resistor connection to each exposed
metal part having a return path to the chassis (antenna,
metal, cabinet, screw heads, knobs and control shafts,
escutcheon, etc.) and measure the AC voltage drop across
the resistor. (This test should be performed with the power
switch in both the On and Off positions.)

A reading of 0.35 volt RMS or more is excessive and
indicates a potential shock hazard which must be corrected
before returning the unit to the owner.
