Safety This instrument is Safety Class I according to IEC classification and has been designed to meet the requirements of EN61010-1 (Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control and Laboratory Use). It is an Installation Category II instrument intended for operation from a normal single phase supply. This instrument has been tested in accordance with EN61010-1 and has been supplied in a safe condition. This instruction manual contains some information and warnings which have to be followed by the user to ensure safe operation and to retain the instrument in a safe condition. This instrument has been designed for indoor use in a Pollution Degree 1 environment (no pollution, or only dry non-conductive pollution) in the temperature range 5 C to 40 C, 20% - 80% RH (non-condensing). It may occasionally be subjected to temperatures between +5 and -10 C without degradation of its safety. Use of this instrument in a manner not specified by these instructions may impair the safety protection provided. Do not operate the instrument outside its rated supply voltages or environmental range. In particular excessive moisture may impair safety. WARNING! THIS INSTRUMENT MUST BE EARTHED Any interruption of the mains earth conductor inside or outside the instrument will make the instrument dangerous. Intentional interruption is prohibited. The protective action must not be negated by the use of an extension cord without a protective conductor. When the instrument is connected to its supply, terminals may be live and opening the covers or removal of parts (except those to which access can be gained by hand) is likely to expose live parts. The apparatus shall be disconnected from all voltage sources before it is opened for any adjustment, replacement, maintenance or repair. Any adjustment, maintenance and repair of the opened instrument under voltage shall be avoided as far as possible and, if inevitable, shall be carried out only by a skilled person who is aware of the hazard involved. If the instrument is clearly defective, has been subject to mechanical damage, excessive moisture or chemical corrosion the safety protection may be impaired and the apparatus should be withdrawn from use and returned for checking and repair. Make sure that only fuses with the required rated current and of the specified type are used for replacement. The use of makeshift fuses and the short-circuiting of fuse holders is prohibited. Do not wet the instrument when cleaning it. The following symbols are used on the instrument and in this manual:- Caution -refer to the accompanying documentation, incorrect operation may damage the instrument. terminal connected to chassis ground. mains supply OFF. l mains supply ON. alternating current. 3
MAINS OPERATING VOLTAGE Installation The operating voltage of the instrument is shown on the rear panel. Should it be necessary to change the operating range from 230V to 115V or vice-versa, change the transformer connections following the appropriate diagram below: 230V Operating - Primaries in series 115V Operation - Primaries in parallel MAINS LEAD When a three core mains lead with bare ends is provided it should be connected as follows:- Brown - Mains live Blue - Mains neutral Green/Yellow - Earth WARNING! THIS INSTRUMENT MUST BE EARTHED Any interruption of the mains earth conductor inside or outside the instrument will make the instrument dangerous. Intentional interruption is prohibited. 4
Service Handling Precautions Service work or calibration should only be carried out by skilled engineers. Please note the following points before commencing work. General The tracks on the printed circuit board are very fine and may lift if subjected to excessive heat. Use only a miniature temperature controlled soldering iron and remove all solder (on both sides of the joint) with solder wick or suction before attempting to remove a component. Care should be taken when handling to avoid damage by static discharge Dismantling the instrument 1. Invert the instrument and remove the 4 screws securing the case upper. Holding the case halves together, turn the instrument the correct way up and lift off the case upper ensuring the front and rear panels stay with the case lower. 2. To remove the pcb from the front panel, pull off the control knobs and remove the nuts beneath. Remove the 3 BNC nuts. 3. Reassemble in the reverse order. Caution EMC To ensure continued compliance with the EMC directive the following precautions should be observed: a) after dismantling the unit for any reason ensure that any signal and ground connections are remade correctly. Always ensure all screws are correctly refitted and tightened. b) In the event of part replacement becoming necessary, only use components of an identical type. 5
Power Supply - DC Regulation Circuit Descriptions The voltage regulators are mounted on a separate pcb. IC10 and IC11 provide ±15V, IC8 and IC9 provide ± 5V. Waveform Generation IC1 is an integrated waveform generator and provides sinewave, squarewave and triangle output. Q1 to Q6 select the range capacitor. The 20MHz and 2MHz ranges use the same range capacitor VC1. The dial and sweep voltages are summed by IC5A; IC5B inverts the output of IC5A. IC4C and IC4B select the full-scale input current to the frequency control pin 10 of IC1 for the different ranges as follows. On 2Hz to 200kHz ranges IC4B and IC4C select VR6 and R45. IC4D connects the FADJ pin to 0V. On 2MHz range IC4B and IC4C select VR9 and FADJ remains at 0V. On 20MHz range IC4B and IC4C select R44 (R52 is in circuit on all ranges). IC4D connects FADJ to 0V via R46; the 250uA current sink inside IC1 causes -3V to be developed across R46 setting IC1 to its frequency double mode. IC5C buffers the symmetry control. The control voltage to the DADJ pin needs to be inverted when sine or triangle are selected to maintain the same direction of operation of VR2 as in squarewave mode. IC5D provides the inversion. The waveform address pins A0 and A1 set the output waveform. The selected waveform is produced at the OUT pin and is 2Vpk-pk. Waveform Generation - Aux Output Preamplifier IC2 is a zero crossing detector with hysteresis provided by R19 and R59. R18,R17 and VR7 set the gain of IC3 to approximately 2 to give approximately 4Vpk-pk output. When no waveform is selected (DC), Q7 pulls pin 8 to 0V disabling the amplifier. The amplifier output is then in a high impedance state and IC7 input is grounded via IC3's feedback resistors. Output Amplifier R26,R27 and R54 set the gain to approximately 5 to give 20Vpk-pk output. D1,D2 D4 and D5 provide some protection against voltages being applied to the 50 Ω. IC6A amplifies the voltage set by VR4 the DC Offset control by 2.1 to give at least ±10V DC offset range. 6
Equipment Required Oscilloscope Distortion meter DMM Calibration Only the case upper needs to be removed to gain access to all adjustments. Holes through the pcb give access to the trimmers. Allow 30 minute warm-up before commencing. The 20MHz and 2MHz range calibrations are inter-active and therefore should be adjusted in the order shown. 1. Power Supply Check the power supply voltages at PJ2 on the PSU board 2. DC Offset +15V ± 0.5V -15V ± 0.5V +5V ± 0.25V -5V ± 0.25V Set Function switch to DC, set DC Offset control to centre detent, attenuators to 0dB. Adjust VR8 for 0V ± 10mV at Main Output 3. Frequency Select sinewave, connect a frequency counter to either output Set dial to 2.0 20MHz range adjust VC1 for 19.8 to 20.2MHz 2MHz range adjust VR9 for 1.98 to 2.02MHz 4. Amplitude 20kHz range adjust VR6 for 19.8 to 20.2kHz Select squarewave, dial at 2.0, 2k range, Amplitude control to maximum. Adjust VR7 for 10.2Vpk-pk into 50 Ω. 5. Distortion Set dial to 2.0, 2k range, sinewave, Symmetry switch to off. Adjust VR5 for minimum distortion. 7
