A1.2 General M800-00 Caution: Beryllium Oxide & Power Transistors The power transistors in current use all contain some beryllium oxide. This substance, while perfectly harmless in its normal solid form, can become a severe health hazard when it has been reduced to dust. For this reason the power transistors should not be broken open, mutilated, filed, machined, or physically damaged in any way that can produce dust particles.
Mechanical Pozidriv Recess Head Screws Pozidriv recess head screws are the preferred standard on all Tait manufactured equip- ment. The very real advantages of this type of screw will not be realised unless the cor- rect screwdrivers are used by servicing personnel.
Component Replacement A3.1 M800-00 Component Replacement Leaded Components Whenever components are removed from or fitted to a PCB, care must be taken to avoid damage to the track. The two satisfactory methods of removing components from PTH PCBs are detailed below. Note: The first method requires the use of a desoldering station, e.g.
Surface mount devices (SMDs) require special storage, handling, removal and replacement techniques. This equipment should be serv- iced only by an approved Tait Dealer or Service Centre equipped with the necessary facilities. Repairs attempted with incorrect equipment or by untrained personnel may result in permanent damage. If in doubt, contact Tait Electronics Ltd or your nearest Tait Branch or Subsidiary.
