5-36. REPLACEMENT OF A2C37

5-37. The value of A2C37 is individually selected to
compensate for varying circuit parameters within the
instrument.
Certain Model 400F /FL instruments
may not have a capacitor in this location.
5-38. If an instrument cannot be properly calibrated
on the 30 mv range at 4 MHz, A2C37 should be changed.
Increase the value of A2C37
indication is high and cannot be adjusted low enough.
Decrease the value of A2C37
indication is low and cannot be adjusted high enough.

performing the Alignment and Calibra­
tion Procedures in Paragraph 5-19.
5-41. When a malfunction occurs, remove powerfrom
the 400F /FL and visually inspect for loose or broken
wires and connectors.
loose components and similar conditions that could be
a source of trouble.
