The manual for the Sencore TVA92 Horizontal Output Load Test explains how to use the test to check the horizontal output stage of a chassis without applying AC power, detailing the setup, operation, and interpretation of results to identify severe loading and timing issues. It also provides guidance on troubleshooting by using the test results to help isolate defective components in the horizontal output stage or B+ power supply.
Manual Overview
The Sencore TVA92 Horizontal Output Load Test is designed to troubleshoot issues in the horizontal output stage of electronic devices without requiring the device to be powered on. This test is crucial for identifying severe loading and timing problems that can cause startup or shutdown symptoms, or damage components such as output transistors and power supplies. The test involves connecting the TVA92 to the B+ side of the flyback transformer, the collector, and the emitter of the horizontal output transistor. The test measures the duration of the flyback pulse and the current supplied by the B+ supply. Normal operation is indicated by good flyback pulse timing and current within a normal range. Abnormal readings suggest defects in the horizontal output stage. The test must be performed with the AC power disconnected to avoid damage to the equipment or the analyzer. Proper interpretation of the results can help isolate defective components, aiding in effective troubleshooting and repair.
Quick Issues Covered
- Diagnose startup/shutdown issues in horizontal output stage.
- Identify severe loading and timing problems before AC power application.
- Trace schematics to locate faulty horizontal output components.

Safety & Warnings
The manual provides the following safety warnings/precautions:
1. Always unplug the AC line cord to the chassis before connecting the test leads to avoid any chance of damaging either the analyzer or the chassis.
2. Do not come in contact with energized circuit points during the load test, as the Horizontal Output Load Test produces flyback voltage pulses at the collector of the chassis horizontal output transistor and the flyback transformer secondaries.
3. Only perform the Horizontal Output Load Test with the AC power to the chassis removed. Remove AC power by unplugging the AC line cord.
