  • Page 5: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION The Avtech AV-1023-C is a versatile, general-purpose, low-cost, dual-channel 10 MHz laboratory pulse generator, useful everywhere from undergraduate university classrooms to the most advanced research and development laboratories. This pulse generator features variable pulse repetition frequency (PRF), delays, pulse widths, and amplitudes.
  • Page 6: Specifications

    SPECIFICATIONS Model: AV-1023-C Number of channels out: Pulse Repetition Rate: 1 Hz to 10 MHz Amplitude (to 50 Ohms): 0 to ± 10 V (± 5 V if Z = 50 Ω) Pulse width (FWHM): 50 ns to 0.5 sec Rise &...
  • Page 7: Regulatory Notes

    If interference is observed, check that appropriate well-shielded cabling is used on the output connectors. Contact Avtech (info@avtechpulse.com) for advice if you are unsure of the most appropriate cabling. Also, check that your load is adequately shielded. It may be necessary to enclose the load in a metal enclosure.

    < 1000 ppm (0.1% by mass) DIRECTIVE 2002/96/EC (WEEE) European customers who have purchased this equipment directly from Avtech will have completed a “WEEE Responsibility Agreement” form, accepting responsibility for WEEE compliance (as mandated in Directive 2002/96/EC of the European Union and local...
  • Page 9 Article 9 of Directive 2002/96/EC. Customers who have purchased Avtech equipment through local representatives should consult with the representative to determine who has responsibility for WEEE compliance. Normally, such responsibilities with lie with the representative, unless other arrangements (under Article 9) have been made.
  • Page 10: Installation

    INSTALLATION VISUAL CHECK After unpacking the instrument mainframe and the transformer module, examine to ensure that they have not been damaged in shipment. Visually inspect all connectors, knobs, and handles. Confirm that a power cord and an instrumentation manual (this manual), are with the instrument.

  • Page 12: Environmental Conditions

    ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS This instrument is intended for use under the following conditions: 1. indoor use; 2. altitude up to 2 000 m; 3. temperature 5 °C to 40 °C; 4. maximum relative humidity 80 % for temperatures up to 31 °C decreasing linearly to 50 % relative humidity at 40 °C;...
  • Page 13: Fuses

    FUSES This instrument contains four fuses. All are accessible from the rear-panel. Two protect the AC prime power input, and two protect the internal DC power supplies. The locations of the fuses on the rear panel are shown in the figure below: Fuses #1 and #2 Fuse #4 Fuse #3...
  • Page 14: Dc Fuse Replacement

    DC FUSE REPLACEMENT The DC fuses may be replaced by inserting the tip of a flat-head screwdriver into the fuse holder slot, and rotating the slot counter-clockwise. The fuse and its carrier will then pop out. FUSE RATINGS The following table lists the required fuses: Recommended Replacement Part Nominal Fuses...

    FRONT PANEL CONTROLS 1. POWER Switch . This is the main power switch. When turning the instrument on, there may be a delay of several seconds before the instrument appears to respond. 2. OVERLOAD Indicator . When the instrument is powered, this indicator is normally green, indicating normal operation.

  • Page 17 15. AMPLITUDE A inner knob . This varies the output amplitude of channel "A" between 0 and 10 Volts. 16. AMPLITUDE B outer knob . This switch selects the output polarity (positive or negative) of channel "B". 17. AMPLITUDE B inner knob . This varies the output amplitude of channel "B" between 0 and 10 Volts.
  • Page 18: Rear Panel Controls

    REAR PANEL CONTROLS 1. AC POWER INPUT . An IEC-320 C14 three-pronged recessed male socket is provided on the back panel for AC power connection to the instrument. One end of the detachable power cord that is supplied with the instrument plugs into this socket. 2.
  • Page 19: General Information

    GENERAL INFORMATION BASIC PULSE CONTROL This instrument can be triggered by its own internal clock or by an external TTL trigger signal. In either case, three output channels respond to the trigger: A, B, and SYNC.  A . This is the main signal for left OUT connector. The pulse width, amplitude, and offset are all adjustable.
  • Page 20: Summing Outputs

    The next figure illustrates the relationship between the signals when an external TTL- level trigger is used (i.e., the INT/EXT switch is set to “EXT”): > 40 ns 3-5V, TTL LEVELS TRIG input PROPAGATION DELAY 50 ns, FIXED SYNC OUT (generated by the 2V, FIXED internal oscillator)
  • Page 21: Output Impedance

    NORM/COMP MODES The pulses of channels A and B may be of either polarity (i.e. positive or negative). In addition, the NORM/COMP switches allow pulses to be inverted logically - the high and low voltages can be swapped. This is illustrated below. +10V Norm Norm...
  • Page 22: Minimizing Waveform Distortions

    MINIMIZING WAVEFORM DISTORTIONS USE 50 Ω TRANSMISSION LINES Connect the load to the pulse generator with 50Ω transmission lines (e.g. RG-58 or RG- 174 cable). If possible, use a 50Ω load. If the actual device under test has a high impedance, consider adding a 50Ω...
  • Page 23: Mechanical Information

    There are no user-adjustable internal circuits. For repairs other than fuse replacement, please contact Avtech (info@avtechpulse.com) to arrange for the instrument to be returned to the factory for repair. Service is to be performed solely by qualified service personnel.
  • Page 24: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE REGULAR MAINTENANCE This instrument does not require any regular maintenance. On occasion, one or more of the four rear-panel fuses may require replacement. All fuses can be accessed from the rear panel. See the “FUSES” section for details. CLEANING If desired, the interior of the instrument may be cleaned using compressed air to dislodge any accumulated dust.
