- Page 2 IEC standard. The built-in generator is capable of generating signals with frequency ranging from 50 kHz to 5 MHz, producing current over 200 mArms, and sine wave with THD < 0.3%. The HFPA150 is built with high stability output, adjustable frequency and gain functions. In addition to neutral electrode test, it could also be used as a measurement tool for general purpose generator where the specifications are appropriate.
- Page 3 Frequency is adjustable from 50 kHz to 5 MHz ⚫ Note: An oscilloscope shall be used with the HFPA150 to measure the output voltage and current. The HFPA150 is equipped with a built-in conversion circuit, so that no additional current probe is required to measure the current value.

- Page 10 HFPA150 | User Manual 5. Original factory-supplied connection cords HFPA150 is capable to measure the output current value through a current monitor port with direct connection to the oscilloscope using the BNC-BNC cord. This unique design saves cost and the need of an expensive current probe.
- Page 11 BNC-Alligator cord The BNC alligator clips on the short cord is specifically designed for NE tests. It connects the HFPA150 with the DUT. Each of the alligator clip connects the wire connection port of the DUT (neutral electrode) and the metallic plate/prosthesis Figure 4.

Overcurrent will activate the protection circuit. See Chapter 7 <Overcurrent protection> When replacing the analyte, press "Gain Reset" to avoid hazard to operators or damage to HFPA150 unit due to sudden load reduction and current increase. While turning the “Gain” knob to increase gain, the power output also increases accordingly. - Page 16 HFPA150 | User Manual "Frequency" knob: use for frequency output adjustment. Monitor the oscilloscope to adjust the Frequency desired frequency. Turning the knob clockwise to increase the frequency; counter-clockwise to reduce frequency. “100KHz” indicator: Illuminates to indicate for 100 kHz selection. Frequency is adjusted to be 100 kHz per step.
