Operating Procedure

Operation of the 1010 is self explanatory from the front panel controls and specification.
Normal precautions concerning overload and incorrect range selection, should be observed.
1. Power on the 1010.
2. Check the battery level.
3. Select the required range.
4. Set the required output voltage.
5. Set the output polarity to apply voltage to the unit under test.
Note: When the output switch is set to the 'OFF' position, there is a short circuit on the output terminals.
This can also be used for quick zeroing of output.
2.2.1 Operating Position
Unlike many potentiometers and devices incorporating standard cells, the 1010 DOES NOT
require operation or transportation in a particular position.
2.2.2 Output terminals
The selected output voltage is connected to the front panel safety terminal binding posts
which are suitable for twisted stripped wire compression connection, spade terminals, or by
4mm shrouded or normal plug insertion.
2.2.3 Case terminal
The case terminal is connected only to the instrument case and is isolated from the circuitry.
The case provides an overall electrostatic screen for the 1010 and can be earthed as
required to improve rejection of noise pick-up.
