KDP-51WS550/57WS550/65WS550 SAFETY CHECK-OUT Leakage Test After correcting the original service problem, perform the following The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground and from safety checks before releasing the set to the customer: all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microamperes).
KDP-51WS550/57WS550/65WS550 Self Diagnosis SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION Supported model The units in this manual contain a self-diagnostic function. If an error occurs, the STANDBY/TIMER LED will automatically begin to flash. The number of times the LED flashes translates to a probable source of the problem. A definition of the STANDBY/TIMER LED flash indicators is listed in the instruction manual for the user’s knowledge and reference.

KDP-51WS550/57WS550/65WS550 Self-Diagnosis Function Operation +B overcurrent (OCP) Occurs when excessive current flows through R6812. The increase in voltage across Q6803 causes it to turn on which sends a high signal to the micro. +B overvoltage (OVP) IC6801 detects +B OVP condition and turns on Q6802. This sends a high signal to the micro and also shuts down the AC relay.
