8. TV MONITOR SUBASSEMBLY 1 General Description
The TV monitor is a solid-state unit intended for use in industrial and commercial installations where reliability and high quality video reproduction are desired. It is packaged as a self-contained subassembly, complete with a power supply. The only electrical connections required to the monitor subassembly are AC power and horizontal and vertical video drive signals.
The monitor subassembly can easily be removed from your terminal by removing three nuts which old the unit on
mounting studs and disconnecting the 10-pin edge connector and the AC power "Molex" connector. Note that re-centering the picture may be necessary when installing a new monitor.

8-8.3.1 Video AmElifier
The video amplifier consists of 0101 and· its associated circuitry.
-'-~'> ,
The incoming video signar"is applied to the monitor through the contrast control through Rl09 to· the base of transistor 0101.
Transistor 0101, operating as a class B amplifier, and its components comprise the video output driver with a
gain of about 1 7 . · .
The negative going signal. at the collector of 0101 is DC-coupled to the cathode of the CRT. The class .B biasing of the video driver allows a larger video output signal to modulate the CRT's cathode and results in a maximum available contrast ratio."
8.3.2
8.3.3
Vertical Deflection
Transistor QI02 is a programmable unijunction transistor, and together with its external circuitry, forms a relax-ation oscillator operating at the vertical rate. Resistor Rl15, variable resistor Rl16 and capacitors Cl05 and ClO.D form an RC network providing proper timing.
Rl17 and Rl18 control the voltage at which the diode (anode-to-anode gate) becomes forward biased. This feature "programs" the firing of 0102 and' prevents the unijunction from controlling this parameter.
The vertical oscillator is synchronized externally to the vertical interval from the vertical drive pulse at Rl13.
The sawtooth voltage at the anode of 0102 is directly coupled to the base of 0103. 0103 is a driver amplifier
and has two transistors wired as a Darlington pair; their input and output leads exit as a.three~terrninal device.
This device exhibits a high input impedance to 0102, and thereby maintains excellent impedance isolation between 0102 and Ql04. The sawtooth waveform output at 0103 is coupled through R122, the vertical linearity control R12l, and on to Cl06 where the waveform is shaped into a para~
bola. This parabolic waveform is then added to the os-cillator's waveform and changes its slope.
Ql03 supplies base current through R123 and R124 to the vertical output transistor, ·0104. Height control R124 varies the amplitude of the sawtooth voltage present at the base of 0104 and, therefore, varies the size of the vertical raster on the CPT.
,.
The vertical output stage. 0104, uses a power transistor which operates as a class A amplifier. Cl07 is a DC-blocking capacitor which allows only AC voltages to pro-duce yoke current. Ll is a relative high impedance com-pared to the yoke inductance. During retrace time, a large positive pulse is developed by Ll which reverses the current through the yoke and moves the beam from the bottom of the screen to the top. Resistor R126 prevents oscilations by providing damping across the vertical de-flection coils.
Horizontal Deflection
To obtain a signal appropriate for driving 0106, the horizontal output transistor, a driver stage consisting of 0105 and TlOl, is used. A positive going pulse is coupled through R127 to the base of 0105.
8-5
The driver stage is either cut off or driven into satur-action by the base signal. The output signal appears as a rectangular waveform and is transformer-coupled to the base of the horizontal output stage. The polarity of the voltage at the secondary of the driver transformer is chosen such that Ql06 is cut off when Ql05 conducts and vice versa.
During conduction of the driver transistor, energy is stored in the coupling transformer. The voltage at the secondary is then positive and keeps Ql06 cut off. As soon as the primary current of TlOl is interrupted due to the base signal driving Ql05 into cut off, the secondary voltage changes polarity. Ql06 starts conducting, and its base current flows. This gradually decreases at a rate determined by the transformer inductance and circuit re-sistance.
Ql06 acts as a switch which is turned on or off by the rectangular waveform on the base. When Ql06 is turned on, the supply voltage plus the charge on Cl13 causes yoke current to increase in a linear manner and moves the beam from near to center of the screen to the right side. At this time, the transistor is turned off by a positive vol-tage on its base which causes the output circuit to os-cillate. A high reactive voltage in the form of a half cycle negative voltage pulse is developed by the yoke's inductance and the primary of T2. The peak magnetic energy which was stored in the yoke during scan time is then transferred to ClOg and the yoke's distributed capa-city. During this cycle, the beam is returned to the center of the screen.
The distributed capacity now discharges into the yoke and induces a current in a direction opposite to the current of the previous part of the cycle. The magnetic field thus created around the yoke moves the scanning beam to the left of the screen.
After slightly more than half a cycle, the voltage across ClOg biases the damper diode CRl03 into conduction and pre-vents the flyback pulse from oscillating. The magnetic energy that was stored in the yoke from the discharge of the distributed capacity is released to provide sweep for the first half of scan and to change Cl13 through the rec-tifying action of the damper diode. The beam is then at the center of the screen. The cycle will repeat as soon as the base voltage of Q106 becomes negative.
LlOl is an adjustable width control placed in series with the horizontal deflection coils. The variable inductive
reactance allows a greater or lesser amount of the deflection current to flow through the horizontal yoke and, therefore, varies the width of the horizontal scan.
8.3.4
The negative flyback pulse developed during horizontal retrace time is rectified by CRl04 and filtered by ClIO.
This produces approximately "D" VDC which is coupled through the brightness control to the cathode of the CRT (VI).
This same pulse is transformer coupled to the second~ry
of transformer T2 where i t is rectified by CR2, CRl06, and CRlOS to produce rectified voltages of approximately l2kV,
"C" VDC, and liB" VDC respectively. l2kV is the anode vol tage for the CRT, and "C" ,VDC serves, as the source voltage for grids No.2 and 4 (focus grid) of the CRT.
The "B" VDC potential is the supply voltage for the ,-video output amplifier, QlOl.
Low Voltage Regulated Supply
The series-pass low voltage regulator is designed to maintain a constant DC output for changes in input
voltage, load impedance and temperature. Also included is a current limiting circuit designed to protect
transistors connected to the "'A" VDC output of the regulated supply from accidental output short circuits and load malfunctions.
The low voltage regulator consists of 0201, 0202, 01, VR20l, and their components. 0203 and its circui1;:,;r::y control the current limiting feature.
The 120 VAC primary voltage (220/240V, optional). is ste'p-ped down at the secondary of Tl, where i t is rectified,by a full wave bridge rectifier CRI. Capacitor Cl is used, as a filter capacitor to smooth the rectified output of eRl. Transistor-Ol is used<as"a series'regulator to drop the rectified voltage to "A" VAC and to provide a low out-put impedance and good regulation. Resistor network R207, R208 and R209 is used to divide down the "A" VDC voltage·
to approximately +6 VDC and apply this potential to the base of 0202. A reference voltage from zener diode VR201 is applied to the emitter of 0202. If the voltages app-lied to the base and emitter of Q202 are not in the pro-per relationship, an error current is generated through 0202. This.error current develops a voltage across R202 which is applied to the base of emitter follower 0201 and then applied to the base of Qlto bring the output vol"':
tage back to its proper level. R20l and C20l provide additional filtering of the rectified DC voltage.
The short circuit protection or current limiting action can be explained as follows.' Assume the "A" VDCbus becomes shorted to ·ground. This reduced" output voltage is sensed by the base of 0202 turning that transistor off because of the reverse bias across its emitter and base junction. Simultaneously, the increased current through R204 increases the forward voltage drop across the base and emitter junction of 0203 and turns i t on. '
8-7
Prior to the short circuit condition, Q203 was cut off. The increased collector current through R202 decreases the collector voltage of Q203 which is de-tected by the base of Q20l and direct-coupled to the base of Ql causing that conductor to conduct less.
This closed loop operation maintains the current avail-able to any transistor connected to the "A" VDC bus at a safe level during a short circuit condition.
8.4 Adjustments 8.4.1
8.4.2
Vertical Adjustments
There is
a:
slight interaction among the vertical fre-.quency, height, and linearity controls. A change inthe height of the picture may affect linearity.
(1) Set the vertical frequency control, Rl16, near the mechanical center of its rotation.
(2) Adjust the vertical height control, R124, for desired height.
(3) Adjust the vertical linearity control, R12l, for best vertical linearity.
(4) Remove the vertical drive signal from the unit. Or, alternatively, use a
short jumper lead, and short the vertical drive input terminal of the printed cir-cuit card edge connector to ground.
(5) Readjust the vertical frequency control, Rl16, until the picture rolls up slowly • . (6) Restore vertical drive to the monitor.
(7) Recheck height and linearity.
Horizontal Adjustments
Raster width is affected by a combination of the low voltage supply, width coil LIOl, and the horizontal linearity sleeve located on the neck of the CRT beneath the yoke.
(1) Adjust the horizontal width coil, LIOl, for the desired width.
(2) Adjust the linearity sleeve under the yoke to obtain the best linearity.
Although this adjustment will affect the raster width, i t should not be used solely- for that purpose. ~e placement
8.4.3
8.4.4
(3) Readjust LIDI for proper width.
(4) Observe final horizontal linearity and width, and touch up either adjust-ment if needed.
Focus Admustment
The focus control, RI07, provides an adjustment for maintaining pest overall display focus.
Centering
If the raster is not properly centered, i t may be 'repositioned by rotating the ring magnets behind the
deflection yoke.
The ring magnets should not be used to offset the raster from its nominal center position because i t would degrade the resolution of the display.
If the picture is tilted, rotate the entire yoke.
