The manual provides a step-by-step procedure for using the TVA92's Horizontal Output Tests to identify horizontal circuit defects, including load and dynamic tests. It also offers guidance on troubleshooting bad readings, ensuring safe operation, and understanding the results of the tests.
Manual Overview
The Sencore TVA92 manual provides a detailed procedure for conducting horizontal output tests to diagnose defects in horizontal circuits. The process begins with Horizontal Output Load Tests, which should be performed with AC power removed from the TV. The tests involve checking current draw and output pulse time to identify major defects. If excessive current is detected, it may indicate DC or AC leakage, which can be further isolated by disconnecting the collector lead. The Dynamic Tests, conducted with AC power applied, include measuring B+ voltage, checking input drive, and analyzing waveforms. If a defect is found, the H.O.T. can be substituted to operate the TV at full voltage without risking damage. Calibration involves ensuring readings fall within specified ranges, with deviations indicating potential defects like open flybacks or defective timing components. Proper lead connections are crucial to avoid erroneous readings. The manual emphasizes safety precautions, such as avoiding contact with energized circuit points during tests.

Basic Usage and Operation Tips
Before beginning any tests, ensure the device is properly connected to the horizontal output circuit as described in the manual. Power down the equipment under test and discharge any capacitors to avoid damage. Use the device’s test leads to connect to the transistor terminals and follow the step-by-step test procedures. Observe the waveform patterns on the display carefully to identify abnormalities. Always start with the lowest test range and increase as needed to avoid overloading the circuit.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance Notes
If the device does not power on, check the battery or power supply connections. Clean test leads and connectors regularly to maintain accurate readings. Should the waveform appear distorted or inconsistent, verify all connections and retest. Calibration should be checked annually to ensure measurement accuracy. Store the device in a dry, dust-free environment to prevent internal damage.
Safety Reminder
Always disconnect power from the equipment under test before connecting or disconnecting the Sencore tester. Use caution when working with high-voltage circuits to prevent electric shock. Follow all safety guidelines in the manual and wear appropriate personal protective equipment when necessary.
