SA-AK240E / SA-AK240EB / SA-AK240EG 1 Safety Precautions 1.1. General Guidelines 1. When servicing, observe the original lead dress. If a short circuit is found, replace all parts which have been overheated or damaged by the short circuit. 2. After servicing, ensure that all the protective devices such as insulation barriers and insulation papers shields are properly installed.
SA-AK240E / SA-AK240EB / SA-AK240EG 1.2. Caution for AC Mains Lead 1.3. Before repair and adjustment Disconnect AC power, discharge Power Capacitors C5101, C5104, C5171, C5172, C5920, C5940 and C5950 through a 10Ω, 5W...
SA-AK240E / SA-AK240EB / SA-AK240EG resistor to ground. DO NOT SHORT-CIRCUIT DIRECTLY (with a screwdriver blade, for instance), as this may destroy solid state devices. After repairs are completed, restore power gradually using a variac, to avoid overcurrent. Current consumption at AC 240V, 50 Hz in NO SIGNAL mode (volume min at CD mode) should be ~ 500mA.
SA-AK240E / SA-AK240EB / SA-AK240EG 3 Handling Precautions For Traverse Deck The laser diode in the traverse deck (optical pickup) may break down due to potential difference caused by the static electricity of clothes or our human body. So, be careful of electrostatic breakdown during repair of the traverse deck (optical pickup).
SA-AK240E / SA-AK240EB / SA-AK240EG 4 Precaution of Laser Diode Caution : This product utilizes a laser diode with the unit turned "ON", invisible laser radiation is emitted from the pick up lens. Wavelength : 780 nm Maximum output radiation power from pick up : 100 µW/VDE Laser radiation from pick up unit is safety level, but be sure the followings: 1.
SA-AK240E / SA-AK240EB / SA-AK240EG 5 Handling the Lead-free Solder 5.1. About lead free solder (PbF) Distinction of PbF P.C.B.: P.C.B.s (manufactured) using lead free solder will have a PbF stamp on the P.C.B. Caution: · Pb free solder has a higher melting point than standard solder; Typically the melting point is 50 - 70°F (30 - 40°C) higher. Please use a high temperature soldering iron.
