SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following safety checks before releasing the set to the customer: Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, �metallized� knobs, screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage. Check leakage as described below. 3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a VOM or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The �limit� indication is 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-voltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are examples of a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated digital multimeters that have a 2V AC range are suitable. (See Fig. A)

LEAKAGE
The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground and from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microampers). Leakage current can be measured by any one of three methods. 1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers� instructions to use these instruments. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The Data Precision 245 digital multimeter is suitable for this job.
