Physical Configuration DC Operation For 110 – 270 Vdc operation, the DC voltage should be applied between the LINE and NEUTRAL terminals of the power inlet module, without regard to polarity (the internal power supply will accept either polarity). When viewing the power inlet module from the rear of the instrument, the LINE connection is the one nearest the bottom, and the NEUTRAL is nearest the top.
3.1.4 Rear-Panel Layout The rear panel of the Model 1073A is arranged in the following manner, left to right (see Figure 3.1): Five BNC type connectors, corresponding to channel C input and outputs. Five BNC type connectors, corresponding to channel B input and outputs.
Physical Configuration Cover Removal To gain access inside the Model 1073A and change any jumper position, the instrument cover must be removed. Remove top cover as follows: 1. Disconnect the power cord. 2. Using a T-25 driver, remove the four screws securing the cover (and rack mount ears, if used).
AC-coupled mode is intended for use with signal frequencies of 100 kHz and above. In AC-coupled mode, the approximate input impedance of the Model 1073A is 100 ohms, isolating the input transformer. AC-coupled inputs may be driven with sine or square waves having levels of 0 to +15...
Physical Configuration from 0.6 to 5 Vpp. DC bias levels of up to 25 volts are rejected by a series capacitor (1 microfarad) and will have no effect on operation. Lower signal levels may also work properly if the input has sufficient slew rate. The AC input limiting amplifier has high gain, and will oscillate if no input is present, or if the applied signal crosses too slowly through the transition level.
Table 3.4: Output Jumper List Fiber Optic Input (Option 01) When Option 01 is installed, the Model 1073A also has a fiber-optic receiver which is connected in parallel with channel-A input, DC-coupled optocoupler’s output. To use the fiber-optic receiver, connect an optical signal meeting the requirements listed in Section 3.5.1, and follow the instructions above for a DC-coupled input on channel A.
