Leakage Current Cold Check
With the AC plug removed from an AC power source, place a
jumper across the two plug prongs. Turn the AC power switch on.
Using an insulation tester (DC 500V), connect one lead to the
jumpered AC plug and touch the other lead to each exposed metal
part (input/output terminals, screwheads, metal overlays, control
shafts, etc.), particularly any exposed metal part having a return
path to the chassis. Exposed metal parts having a return path to the
chassis should have a minimum resistor reading of 0.3MΩ and a
maximum resistor reading of 5MΩ. Any resistor value below or
above this range indicates an abnormality which requires corrective
action. Exposed metal parts not having a return path to the chassis
will indicate an open circuit.
Leakage Current Hot Check
Plug the AC line cord directly into an AC power source (do not use
an isolation transformer for this check).
Turn the AC power switch on.
Using a "Leakage Current Tester (Simpson Model 229 equivalent)",
measure for current from all exposed metal parts of the cabinet
(input/output terminals, screwheads, metal overlays, control shaft,
etc.), particularly any exposed metal part having a return path to the
chassis, to a known earth ground (water pipe, conduit, etc.). Any
current measured must not exceed 0.5mA.

PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE

Many electrical and mechanical parts in PIONEER set have special
safety related characteristics. These are often not evident from
visual inspection nor the protection afforded by them necessarily
can be obtained by using replacement components rated for higher
voltage, wattage, etc. Replacement parts which have these special
safety characteristics are identified in this Service Manual.
Electrical components having such features are identified by marking
with a on the schematics and on the parts list in this Service
Manual.
The use of a substitute replacement component which dose not have
the same safety characteristics as the PIONEER recommended
replacement one, shown in the parts list in this Service Manual, may
create shock, fire or other hazards.
Product Safety is continuously under review and new instructions
are issued from time to time. For the latest information, always
consult the current PIONEER Service Manual. A subscription to, or
additional copies of, PIONEER Service Manual may be obtained at
a nominal charge from PIONEER.
