  • Page 7: 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 8: 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 9: 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: Nominal Manufacturer’s Distributor’s...
  • Page 10: Front Panel Controls

    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 11 systems using SMA connectors, the PE6026 SMA feed-thru 50 Ohm terminator is suggested. 4. TRIG Connector. A replica of the IN pulse appears on this output. This TTL-level output will drive loads of 50Ω or greater. The output pulse width is approximately equal to the input pulse width.
  • Page 12: Rear Panel Controls

    REAR PANEL CONTROLS DELAY 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.AC FUSE DRAWER .
  • Page 13: General Information

    GENERAL INFORMATION BASIC TIMING CONTROL This instrument has one pulse input and two pulse outputs. The TRIG output is delayed by a fixed amount (< 20 ns) relative to the IN pulse. The output pulse width is approximately equal to the input pulse width. The OUT output is delayed relative to the input pulses on the IN connector by a time set by the DELAY controls.
  • Page 14: Mechanical Information

    Always disconnect the power cord before opening the instrument. 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. Caution: High voltages are present inside the instrument during normal operation.
