Remove the cassette housing control assembly.
l
Make a short-circuit between
TPSOOl
and
TP5002,
both located on the timer PWB. Now
turn on the power.
0
Setting
1.
Set a torque gauge to zero on the scale. Place it
on the supply reel disk.
2. Switch from the FF mode to the STOP mode.
3. Disconnect the
AC power plug.
l
Checking
1. Slowly rotate the torque gauge in the clockwise
(CW)
direction and counterclockwise (CCW) di-
rection of the supply brake so that the reel disk
and the indicator
otthe
torque gauge rotate at
an equal rate. Check that the values are within
the range of CW direction
=
35+2OmN-m
(357
+
204gfcm),
CCW direction
=
10
+
4m
N*m
(102
+

and that the brake torque in the
CW direction is at least twice as high as that in
the CCW direction.

l
Adjustment of the brake torque at the supply
side and the take-up side
1. If the supply or take-up brake torque is outside
the range, clean the supply or take-up reel disk
break lever pad, then recheck the torque.
2. If the supply or take-up brake torque is still out-
side the range, replace the main brake ass’y or
the main brake spring.
Note:
When the main brake is replaced, perform the
height checking and adjustment of reel disks (see
page
14),
and the brake torque checking.
