The Sencore LC2 and LC3 service manual provides detailed instructions for setting up and operating the leakage checker, including steps for checking tubes and capacitors, such as adjusting controls and observing the electric eye tube indicator. It also includes a troubleshooting section with a chart to diagnose issues like non-responsive or abnormal eye indications, and outlines the components and circuit descriptions necessary for effective maintenance and repair.
Manual Overview
The Sencore LC2 and LC3 Leakage Checker service manual provides detailed instructions for troubleshooting, diagnostics, and calibration of the device. The checker is used to identify leakage in tubes and capacitors using a high-gain DC amplifier and an electric eye tube indicator. Troubleshooting involves checking components such as the 6AF6G tube, line cord, ON-OFF switch, transformer, and various resistors and capacitors if the eye does not function correctly. Calibration is performed using the ZERO ADJ control to adjust the eye’s operation. The manual outlines how to test tubes by selecting the appropriate filament voltage and observing the eye’s response, indicating issues such as shorts or grid emissions. Capacitors are tested similarly, with the eye’s behavior indicating open or leaky capacitors. The manual includes a schematic diagram and parts list for board-level repairs and adjustments, ensuring technicians can maintain and service the checker effectively.
Quick Issues Covered
- Diagnose eye tube not opening: check 6AF6, line cord, switch.
- Calibrate ZERO ADJ for accurate tube leakage detection.
- Trace circuit using schematic for troubleshooting power issues.

Operation
The Sencore Leakage Checker was designed for fast and foolproof operation. It provides three important checks on critical tubes: Filament Continuity, Heater to Cathode Leakage, and Control Grid Leakage. These tests are normally made in this sequence. Operation of only two controls, the FILAMENT switch and the OPERATION switch, are required for all tests.
Troubleshooting & Error Codes
The troubleshooting guidance for the Senco Leakage Checker includes a trouble chart with specific indications and corresponding checks:
1. If the eye will not open, check the 6AF6 tube, line cord, ON-OFF switch (S-1), transformer (T-1), R-1, and CR-1.
2. If the eye lights but will not open, check the 6C4 tube and the ZERO ADJ control (R-1).
3. If the eye lights but will not close, check for a ground short in the cathode line, R-2, R-3, R-5, and the ZERO ADJ control (R-4).
4. For abnormal eye indications, check the filter condenser (C-1) and C-2.
5. If tubes of a particular filament voltage do not light, check the FIL SEL switch (S-2) and transformer (T-1).
