Page 5: Introduction
The AV-153AH-B will drive load impedances of 1.2 kΩ or higher. The AV-153AH-B can also drive capacitive loads, at reduced frequencies. When supplied with an external voltage input, the AV-153AH-B may be used as a DC to 300 kHz variable-gain linear amplifier. The gain is variable from +1 to +100. -
Page 6: High-Voltage Precautions
HIGH-VOLTAGE PRECAUTIONS CAUTION: This instrument provides output voltages as high as ±200 Volts, so extreme caution must be employed when using this instrument. The instrument should only be used by individuals who are thoroughly skilled in high voltage laboratory techniques. The following precaution should always be observed: 1. -

Page 12: 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 13: 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 14: 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 15 “Programming Manual for -B Instruments” describes the menus and submenus in detail. 6. KEYPAD . Control Name Function MOVE This moves the arrow pointer on the display. CHANGE This is used to enter the submenu, or to select the operating mode, pointed to by the arrow pointer.

Page 16: Rear Panel Controls
3. DC FUSES . These two fuses protect the internal DC power supplies. Please see the “FUSES” sections of this manual for more information. 4. TRIG . When the AV-153AH-B is set to operate in the amplifier mode, the externally- generated input signal is applied to this connector. The maximum input voltage is ±2V. -
Page 17: General Information
GENERAL INFORMATION WAVESHAPE SELECTION The front-panel “SHAPE” menu or the “sour:func” computer command can be used to set the output waveform to one of five possible modes: SINE – This mode generates a bipolar sinusoidal signal with 50% duty cycle. TRIANGLE –... -
Page 18: Pulse Generation
PULSE GENERATION The AV-153AH-B can also act as a pulse generator, with variable delay between the SYNC output and the main output. In this mode, the pulse width may be varied over a wide range (1 us to 500 ms), and the amplitude may be varied from 0 to +200V. -
Page 19: Resistive And Capacitive Loads
"OUT" CONNECTOR RESISTIVE AND CAPACITIVE LOADS The AV-153AH-B can drive resistive loads with impedances of 1.2 kΩ and higher. At reduced frequencies, the AV-153AH-B can also drive a capacitive load of up to 10000 pF. The reduced maximum frequencies and increased rise times are outlined in the... -
Page 20: Preventing Damage
PREVENTING DAMAGE Always ensure that the load resistance is 1200 Ohms or higher. If the load is capacitive, do not exceed 10000 pF, and limit the operating frequency to the values indicated in the previous section. This instrument does include protection circuitry to monitor the average and peak power being consumed in the output circuitry. -
Page 21: Panb Burst Mode Option
-PANB BURST MODE OPTION The -PANB option allows the generation of a burst of 1-500 cycles of sine, square, triangle, or pulse waveforms. This burst may be triggered by pressing a front-panel pushbutton, or by computer command. Beware that the instrument generates a burst output every time the pulse count (N) is changed (e.g., when the pulse:count command is sent, or when the pulse count is adjusted from the front panel). - Page 22 In non-bursted operation, a 100 ns wide SYNC pulse is generated for each waveform cycle. This behaviour changes for burst mode operation. In this mode, a single SYNC pulse is generated for each burst, rather than each waveform cycle. The SYNC pulse width is equal to the duration of the burst.

Page 23: Operational Check
OPERATIONAL CHECK This section describes a sequence to confirm the basic operation of the instrument. It should be performed after receiving the instrument. It is a useful learning exercise as well. Before proceeding with this procedure, finish reading this instruction manual thoroughly. - Page 24 4. Turn on the AV-153AH-B. The main menu will appear on the LCD. 5. To set the AV-153AH-B to trigger from the internal clock at a PRF of 30 kHz: a) The arrow pointer should be pointing at the frequency menu item. If it is not, press the MOVE button until it is.
- Page 25 d) Press CHANGE to return to the main menu. This completes the operational check. If additional assistance is required: Tel: (613) 226-5772 Fax: (613) 226-2802 Email: info@avtechpulse.com...

Page 26: Programming Your Pulse Generator
PROGRAMMING YOUR PULSE GENERATOR KEY PROGRAMMING COMMANDS The “Programming Manual for -B Instruments” describes in detail how to connect the pulse generator to your computer, and the programming commands themselves. A large number of commands are available; however, normally you will only need a few of these. - Page 27 output on (turns on the output) volt 150 (sets the amplitude to 150 V) pulse:count 7 (generates a burst of 7 sine wave cycles) These commands will satisfy 90% of your programming needs.

Page 30: Mechanical Information
MECHANICAL INFORMATION TOP COVER REMOVAL If necessary, the interior of the instrument may be accessed by removing the four Phillips screws on the top panel. With the four screws removed, the top cover may be slid back (and off). Always disconnect the power cord and allow the instrument to sit unpowered for 10 minutes before opening the instrument. -
Page 31: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE REGULAR MAINTENANCE This instrument does not require any regular maintenance. On occasion, one or more of the four rear-panel fuses may require replacement. All fuses can be accessed from the rear panel. See the “FUSES” section for details. CLEANING If desired, the interior of the instrument may be cleaned using compressed air to dislodge any accumulated dust. -
