Operator Errors



1. Most common is forgetting to close SW6, end of tape switch, prior 

to operating the recorder in any mode. 

2. Improper setup - pressing the run switch (SW4), before depressing 

the record switch (SW5).

3. Improper recording procedures - using the wrong bias oscillator 

for the corresponding transport.  This will disable the recorder from

going safe.

4. Improper switch settings - the SG-1064 mode switch must be set to 

the proper position depending on equipment configuration (ie: generator-GEN, 

transport #1 on-line-IN1, transport #2 on-line-IN2.)

5. Misthreading the tape is another common operator error.  The tape path 

should always be checked prior to depressing any mode switch.

6. Monitoring channel 5 on an RD-379A(V) or 10 on an RD-379A will continue 

to give alarms, due to the absence of a 60 HZ safe signal.
