TEST INSTRUMENT SAFETY WARNING Normal use of test equipment exposes you to a certain amount of danger from electrical shock because testing must sometimes b e performed where exposed voltage is present. An electrical shock causing 10 milliamps of current to pass through the heart wil l stop most human heartbeats.

CONTROLS AND INDICATORS FRONT PANEL (Refer to Fig. 1) POWER Switch. Turns power on and off. RANGE Switch. Selects output frequency range. Seven ranges from 1 Hz to 10MHz. Switch indicates maximum frequency of range and is adjusted with COARSE FREQUENCY control to 0.1 times the maximum. For example, if the 100 kHz range is selected, the output frequency can be adjusted from 10kHz to 100kHz.

Figure 1. Model 4017A Front Panel. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The B+K Precision Model 4017A Sweep/Function Generator is a versatile instrument, capable of producing a variety of output waveforms over a broad range of frequencies. To gain a working familiarity with the unit, it is recommended that it be connected initially to an oscilloscope, so that the effects of the various controls on the output waveforms can be observed.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS . A superimposed DC component can be added to the output signal by engaging the DC OFFSET switch (14) to enable operation of the DC OFFSET control (5). Rotation of this control adds a positive or negative DC component to the output signal.
For a triangle wave, the result is a ramp, and with a sine wave, a distorted waveshape called a slewed sine is produced. The Model 4017A provides for symmetry variation from 15% to 85%.
VOLTAGE CONTROLLED FREQUENCY OPERATION 4. Set the starting frequency (highest frequency) of the sweep by The Model 4017A can be operated as a voltage-controlled adjusting the COARSE frequency control and observing the generator by using an external control voltage applied to the counter.

This includes most recent television receivers and audio equipment. A plastic or wooden cabinet insulates the chassis to protect the custom er. When the cabinet is removed for servicing, a serious shock hazard exists if the chassis is touched.
