The manual for the Sencore TVA92's Horizontal Output Load Test provides guidance on troubleshooting excessive loading and timing issues in horizontal output stages by simulating normal switching action and measuring current load. It covers setup and operation of the test, explains how to interpret mA readouts to identify potential DC or AC shorts, and offers steps to isolate defects in the output stage or power supply.
Manual Overview
The Sencore TVA92’s Horizontal Output Load Test is a diagnostic tool designed to troubleshoot issues in the horizontal output stage of televisions, particularly those causing excessive loading and timing problems. The test applies a reduced voltage to simulate normal operation without AC power, allowing technicians to assess the B+ load current and identify potential issues. If the mA readout exceeds 80 mA, it indicates a problem, potentially a DC short or AC leakage. Technicians should first disconnect the horizontal output transistor to determine if it is shorted. If the issue persists, further isolation of the defect is required by examining possible DC short paths. The test can differentiate between DC and AC loading problems by disconnecting the collector lead, which stops AC currents and isolates DC current paths. A reading above 5 mA suggests a DC short or leakage, while normal readings indicate AC issues. Proper connection of test leads to B+ and ground points is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
Quick Issues Covered
- Diagnose excessive current load using TVA92's Horizontal Output Load Test.
- Identify DC shorts or leakage with mA readings over 250 mA.
- Use schematics for circuit tracing to isolate defective components.
