LEAKAGE TEST (FOR SERVICE ENGINEERS IN THE U.S.A.I

Before returning the unit to the user, perform the following safety checks:

Plug the power cord directly into a 120evolt AC WV
receptacle (do not use an Isolation Transformer for
this test). Using two clip leads, connect a 1500

Use a VTVM or VOM with 1000 Ohms per volt, or
higher sensitivity to measure the AC voltage drop
across the resistor. (See Diagram.) Move the resistor
