Initial Checks
2.1 Introduction
2.2 Equipment Needed
2.3 Procedure
The following procedure is provided to facilitate initial performance checking of the
Model 5183. In general, the procedure should be performed after inspecting the
instrument for shipping damage, but before using it experimentally. If any damage is
noted, PerkinElmer Instruments should be notified immediately and a claim filed with
the carrier. The shipping container should be saved for inspection by the carrier.
Should any difficulty be encountered in carrying out these checks, contact the factory
or one of its representatives.
1) General purpose laboratory oscilloscope.
2) Signal generator capable of providing a 10 mV pk-pk sine wave at 1 kHz.
1) Set the front-panel POWER switch to the down (BATTERY) position. Then
press the adjacent POWER TEST button. The associated indicator should light,
indicating that the internal batteries are installed and functioning properly. If the
POWER TEST indicator does not light, refer to Section 3.2 for a discussion of
the 5184's battery requirements.
Note: Those users who have purchased the PerkinElmer Instruments external
power supply option can use the external supply to perform the initial checks, in
which case step 1 is replaced by the following operations.
a) Make sure that the voltage selector switch on the external power supply is in
the position indicating the line voltage to be used (110 V AC or 240 V AC).
b) Plug the line cord into the external power supply and the external power
supply into the instrument power socket.
c) Set the POWER switch to the up (EXTERNAL) position. Then press the
adjacent POWER TEST button. The associated indicator should light,
indicating that the external supply is functioning properly.
2) Set the 5184 input GROUND / ISOLATE switch to the down (GROUND)
position.
3) Connect the oscilloscope to the OUTPUT BNC connector.
4) Allow approximately 1 minute for the model 5184 circuitry to stabilize
