Operational Check - Hameg HM8037 Manual

O p e r a t i o n a l c h e c k
a way that the frequency response of the output
signal is not affected over the whole frequency
range of the HM8037 unit.

Operational check

General
This test will permit you to check the functions of
the HM8037 unit at certain time intervals without
using any special test equipment. To obtain the
normal operating temperature, the mainframe
with inserted module should be turned on at least
60 minutes before starting the test.
Measuring equipment required
– Oscilloscope (e.g. HM303)
– Frequency Counter (e.g. HM8021)
– Distortion Meter (e.g. HM8027)
– Digital Multimeter (e.g. HM8012)
– Resistor 600 Ω, Coaxial Cable 50 Ω HZ34
– Level Meter (Sennheiser, e.g. UPM550)
If no Sennheiser UPM550 or any similar level
meter is available for the operational check,
the corresponding tests can also be carried out
with an oscilloscope, if the obtained values are
accordingly translated. However, this will give
somewhat less precise test results.

b) Connect the Level Meter to the OUTPUT 600 Ω
of the HM8037. Terminate the OUTPUT
600 Ω with 600 Ω. Measure the output
voltage.
c) Check the output voltage within the entire fre-
quency range, using the controls FREQUENCY
and VARIABLE
d) The output amplitude should not vary more
than ±0.2 dB between 5 Hz and 50 kHz (reference
1 kHz)

b) Connect the Level Meter to OUTPUT 600 Ω
. Termi nate with 600 Ω. Adjust the output
amplitude for a reading of 1 V.
c) Firstly press one button –20 dB
buttons simultaneously. The readings should
be 0.1 V and 10 mV (±0.2 dB) respectively.
