INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENT CO., inc.EICO TUBE TESTER MODEL 625 > ——————————EE—E————EE=—————_ See DESCRIPTION The Model 625 ‘Tube Tester has been designed to teat practically all current radic and television receiving and & number of commonly encountered transmitting tubes. With thie basic purpose in mind, concentration is next placed on simplicity of operation and circuit flexibility regarding new or future tubes. SPECTAL PEATURES: (1) Tests practically all tubes as described above, (2) Speed type lever awitchea- speed and accuracy, (3) Individual tube element testing. Specially designed against obsolescence to accomodate future tubes, (4) Circuit overload bulb- indicates over- ioad on transformer. (5) Short test- indicates shorted tube elements, {8} Large- easy-to-read meter. 7) Tlluminated- no backiash~- speed roll chart- simplifies. reading and finding of tubes. te Lifetime etched, rub-proof panel. 9} Durable steel carrying case, Electrical specifications: 105- 1257 AC, 50-69 cycles. {11) Mechanical specifications: 124" wide; 54” deep; nia" high, OPERATION (10 Testing a tube is merely a simple series of gteps. NOTE; Do not plug tube into socket until #11 controls are set, -l1-(1) TUBE NUMBER: Select the tube number Under the heading marked "TUBE" on the roll chart, (2) SHUNT: Adjust the SHUNT CONTROL on the panel to the number marked on the roll chart. (3) FILAMENT: Set the FILAMENT awitch to the same value as shown on the chart.* (4) SELECTOR: Set the SELECTOR SWITCH as indfeated on the roll chart. The next two columns area for the 10 lever switches and refer to their “up” and "down" positions, UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED LEAVE ALL SWITCHES IN TEETR CENTER POSITION. (5) UP: Move lever switches numbered on up" column of roll chart to the "up" poalticn. (6) DOWN: Move lever switches numbered on "Gown" column of roll chart to the "down" position. (7) Insert tube in proper socket and turn power on, (8) LINE ADJUST: (a) Set SELECTOR switch to “Line Adj." position. (b) Adjust LINE ADJUST potentiometer until meter reads within a division of "Line." (9) SHORT: Neon bulb will light after preceding step only if a short is present. Do not teat a shorted tube any further as damage will result. (See SHORT TEST instructions which follow.) * Since the FILAMENT selector will apply any voltage selected to a tube under teat, care should be taken to check this setting in order that no higher than rated voltage be applied. Disregarding this may cause burning out of the tube under teat, This is true 1n all tube teaters.{10) MERTE SWITCH: Depressing this switch ndicate the condition of the cube. Example, Testing a 635 tube: Under the roll chart heading of 6J5, the following adjustments appear: TUBE__—SoSHUNT. FIL SEL__UP DOWN 655 2k 6.3 2 3.5 7,8 te If more than one listing ia given on the roll chart (6807, 636, etc.) it is because the tube under test is muitipurpose. The procedure if to test the first row of figures, then reset and test the second, third, ete. If any test shows bad, the tube is defective, GRID CAPS The EICO Model 625K has been designed with two grid caps, a feature usually available only in more expensive equipment, since many tubes -3-are so provided. Note: In all cases, except those tubes uir capa, er side cap w. e used. er aide geri cap Le controlled by lever ewitch #10; the Jeft side grid cap by lever awitch #9, OVERLOAD The OVERLOAD bulb is an extremely important feature for a tube tester. It indicates transformer overload. In the event a tube with a shorted filament were inserted into a tube tester which does not have this feature, the transformer would tend to overheat and possibly burn out. In the EICO Model 625, a filament short will be indicated by the OVER- LOAD bulb lighting. In this case the tube under test should immediately be removed, Note: On occasion the bulb way light instan- taneously when the AC plug is inserted. This ig a8 case of surge and may be ignored. SHORT To test for tube element shorte, the lever awitches (only those included on the roll chart) must be individually moved through their entire range and then returned to the position originally indicated on the roll chart. Please note that each switch has 3 positions, "down, center and up." Therefore, 4f @& switch is in the center position 1t should be moved "up," then "down" stopping for an ingtant in each position and finally returned to the orlginal position. As 4 further example, if the awitch were originally in the "down" position the lever would be thrown to the center, then to the "up" and back to its orig- inal "down" position. If the neon "SHORT" indicator lights in any position the tube has leakage or is shorted. DO NOT MOVE LEVERS IN SOLD TYPE, -~heREPLACE, WEAK, GOOD If a tube reada in the "REPLACE" region, it hag low emisaion and should be replaced. If it reads in the "WEAK" region, it ig question- able, but probably operative. If it reads in the "GOOD" region, the tube has proper emission. The 0-1000 scale on the meter is for tube matching. TUBE MERIT: ‘This if a momentary contact awitch and when depressed indicates the emission characteristic of the tube. PILOT LIGHT TEST: Pilot lights may be tested by selecting the proper filament voltage on the PILAMENT awitch and inserting the pilot light into the center of the large 7 prong socket, FILAMENT CONTINUITY: You will nove that several of the numbera on the roll chart are in bold type; these correa- pond to the levers which are connected to the tube filaments. Move each of the levers in bold print one at a time to the “up" position and back to the original position. The neon bulb Short indicator will light in the "up" position if the filamenta are intact. OPEN ELEMENT TEST: With "MERIT" switch depressed, move each of the levers that are in the “up” position, one at a time to the canter position and back. The meter resding should dip greatly for the control grid of the tube and slightly for the screen, suppres- gor and plate elements. If no change is observed, the element ia probably open. NEW TUBES: EICO, in accordance with its recognized policy of protecting all instru- ments against obsolescence will periodically issue new roll charts and data sheets. if you wil] send your name and a self-addressed - 5 -envelope, you will be notified when the new charts are available and their cost. The latter will be nominal. Although it is possible for the serviceman to develop the settings for new tubes, 1+ is not recommended due to the extra equipment necessary. For an interim period, "between the old and new roll charts," the following procedure may be used for determining the settings for’ new tubes. (33 Move all levers to the "down" position. 2) Move either one of the filament levers to the center position. (3) Move the grid, screen, suppressor and plate levera to the "up" position. (4) If the normal current rating of the tube is between zero and 3 ma. use position 1 on the SELECTOR switch; position 2 for tubea from 3-15 ma; position 3 for filament type above 15 ma; position 4 for gaseous and magic eye tubes. (5) Move the FILAMENT switeh to the proper filament volteze. (6) Starting with the SHUNT control at zero, depress the MERIT switch and gradually increase the "Shunt" setting yagi the meter reads approximately (7) Check several other tubes and use the averege "SHUNT" reading for the "SHUNT" setting. GUARANTEE:- The Electronic Instrument Company guarantees to replace any part or component which proves defective under normal use within 90 daya of purchase date.LHOIT IOTId Li# IHOIT LOTId Le¥ NOILVOIdI0aas Te] seas av joss-<| 0-G29]¢ Presi 3 __ bee | te venarne | aauene | ienves | wenae | 26 NT S3HOLIMS NOISY Y3AR1 DM"OD LNGNMISHI DNOULIZTI Y3LS3L 3eNL | Lh | La Ny) WE Ly) ) Py Qs yy ye Wo) a ye Lo}New Tube Tester Data EICO Model 625 Radio And Television News - May, 1956 Selector 2 oH |) Be |] oo |] Be] Oo |] Be |] os |) eH Be yf |] |] a] |e | ff ten 6CS? éDE6 12BV7* 1205 19.474 EFR6/2-729 Bh ff so | a | te TY tsa [Po ff et] ff Pe Pe ft] PS fe fe |] se ff pe Tee |] po ff a fe ff pe |] po | tee |p pe *Rewsed DataOA2............
