1.0 safety and servicing notes
1.1 Safety precautions
1. This unit is Class II, which means that it is not connected to the protective earth system.
All live voltages are insulated from the case by double insulation.
2. Do not attempt to service unless qualified to do so.
3. Disconnect unit from AC power supply before removing cover.
4. Components marked with the symbol on the circuit schematic are safety critical
and must only be replaced with an identical component, or an alternative approved by
the manufacturer.
5. Switch unit off, and disconnect from supply before making and breaking any
connections.
6. Do not adjust any controls unless instructed to do so in this manual.
1.2 Electrostatic discharge precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is due to charges produced by insulating materials rubbing together.
Humans collect electrostatic charge through normal activities when clothes rub together and when
walking on carpet. This charge may be discharged suddenly when you touch a conductor. If the
conductor is connected to a sensitive electronic circuit, you may damage the components. It is also
possible to reduce the life of components without causing any obvious damage.
To prevent ESD damage, it is necessary to follow these guidelines.
1. Prepare work area. Place an ESD protective mat on the bench, strapped to the
protective earth circuit.
2. Prepare yourself. Put on an ESD protective wrist band, strapped to the protective earth
circuit, or to the ESD protective mat.
3. Keep all PCBs removed from unit in ESD protective bags.
4. Keep all replacement electronic components, PCBs and stock items in ESD protective
bags or boxes.
5. Be particularly careful with components marked with the following symbol:
1.3 Soldering
How to de-solder components
Components should be removed, wherever possible, using a de-soldering tool. Be careful not to
damage tracks and pads by applying too much pressure.
How to make good solder joints
1. Ensure surfaces are clean.
2. Keep soldering iron clean and wetted with solder. Use an appropriate bit. Do not leave
soldering iron on when not in use.

2
1.0 safety and servicing notes
3. Apply soldering iron to both component lead and pad
before applying solder. Make sure that the soldering
iron is applied long enough for the solder to wet
properly, but do not apply for too long or component
damage may occur.
4. Allow a small gap between component body and
pad. Solder must not reach the base of the
component.
How to detect acceptable joints
1. Solder joints should have from a shiny to satin lustre
and a generally smooth appearance.
2. Solder should have wetted both the component lead
and pad.
3. There should be a concave meniscus between the
objects being soldered. The angle of solder to pad
should be less than 90° unless the solder joint extends
over the edge of the pad.
4. Solder should fill the component pad and wet
component lead around the full circumference (360°).
How to detect unacceptable joints
1. Poor wetting produces a bead of solder. The fillet will
be convex instead of concave, and there will not be a
feather edge.
2. On double-sided PCBs, solder should wet all round
plated-through hole, on both sides of the PCB.
Cleaning up after soldering
1. Flux is very corrosive. Remove with IPA (propan-2-ol) before completing the job.
2. Remove any solder balls and splashes from the unit.
3. Check all new solder joints and ensure all PCBs are clean before replacing covers.
4. After replacing covers, clean the case and any display windows with a damp cloth. Do
not use any organic solvents. If scratched, replace display windows.
