feedback from the output emitter followers thru to the R507 base of 0502 maintains output signal approximately 1 0 times the input signal. As the i nput signal becomes negative. 0501 collector current decreases and 0502 collector current increases. As 0502 collector current i ncreases, the current from 0503 collector becomes less than the current from 0504 and the output follows the input negative.

MAINTENANCE The following instructuions are use for by qualified only. To avoid electrical shock, do not perform any servicing other than contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so. 1 . FUSE Replacement: li the fuse bolws, the FUNCTION GENERATOR will not operate. Try to determine and correct the cause of the blown fuse , then replace only with a fuse of the correct rating and type, as shown below.
