    GENERAL DESCRIPTION INTRODUCTION The Krohn-Hite Model 6900B, illustrated in Figure 1.1, is a Fully Automatic Distortion Analyzer designed or ultra-low distortion and ac voltage measurements in the 5Hz to 1MHz frequency range. The Distortion Analyzer will measure total harmonic distortion (THD) down to 0.005%, typically, with 0.001% resolution.

  • Page 8: Operation

    The Model 6900B is designed to operate from a single phase, 50-400Hz ac power source of 90-110, 108- 132, 180-220, or 216-264 volts. Line switches allow the 6900B to be powered from one of the above 4 voltage ranges. The ac power receptacle is a standard 3-pin connector, and complies with the European I.E.C.

    Section 2 – Operation Model 6900B 2.5.5 ANALOG OUTPUT The ANALOG OUTPUT may be used with a recorder or plotter. It provides a dc voltage of approximately 100mV/1% of the displayed distortion. 2.5.6 1kHz OUTPUT The 1kHz OUTPUT is a fixed, 1kHz low distortion, 0.003%, sinewave for use as a stimulus to measure the distortion characteristics of another circuit or system or to self-check the Analyzer.

    3.2.2 LOW DISTORTION CHECK Connect an Ultra-Low Distortion Oscillator (Krohn-Hite Model 4400A or equivalent for measurements from 10Hz to 100kHz and Model 4200B or equivalent for measurements from 500kHz to 1MHz) to the Analyzer’s INPUT. Set the MODE switch to “VOLT” and adjust the oscillator output voltage to 7Vrms.
