  • Page 3: Parts Verification

    PARTS VERIFICATION Before beginning the assembly process, first familiarize yourself with the components and this instruction book. Verify that all parts are present. This is done best by checking off each item in the parts list. RESISTORS Trim Pot IDENTIFYING RESISTOR VALUES Use the following information as a guide in properly identifying the value of resistors.
  • Page 4 Introduction Assembly of your XK-550 Digital/Analog Trainer Kit will prove to be an exciting project and give you much satisfaction and personal achievement. If you have experience in soldering and wiring techniques, then you should have no problem with the assembly of this kit.

  • Page 5: Power Supply Specifications

    POWER SUPPLY The XK-550K has five built-in power supplies which will satisfy most design needs. This includes two variable power supplies giving up to +20 volts and -20 volts at .5 amp. Below 15V, the current available is 1 amp. Three fixed power supplies give you +12VDC, -12VDC or +5VDC at 1 amp each.

    VOLTAGE ANALYSIS OF POWER SUPPLY Proceed with the voltage analysis only if the resistance readings were satisfactory. Place the top panel on the unit. If any capacitors are inserted backwards, the panel will shield you if they explode. Make sure that the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position. Plug the line cord into the 120VAC power source.

  • Page 19: Power Supply Testing

    POWER SUPPLY TESTING Plug the trainer into a 120VAC outlet and switch to the “ON” position (the power switch should light). With a dig- ital voltmeter, measure the voltage outputs at the power blocks. The +12V should measure between 11.4 and 12.6 volts.

    INTRODUCTION - ANALOG SECTION The Analog Section of your trainer contains a complete function generator capable of producing sine, square, and triangle waveforms. The frequency of this generator can be continuously varied from 1 hertz to over 100,000 hertz in five steps: 10, 100, 1K, 10K, and 100K. A fine frequency control makes selection of any fre- quency in between easy.
