INTRODUCTION

The AVR-5B-B is a high performance, GPIB and RS232-equipped instrument capable of generating up to 500V at repetition rates up to 10 kHz. The pulse width is variable from 100 ns up to 100 us, and the duty cycle may be as high as 1% (or up to 2% with the -XP1 option, or 4% with the -XP2 option). Rise and fall times are fixed at less than 20 ns (or 30 ns for units with the -R50 option). The AVR-5B-B includes an internal trigger source, but it can also be triggered or gated by an external source. A front-panel pushbutton can also be used to trigger the instrument. The output pulse width can be set to follow an input trigger pulse width.

The output voltage polarity depends on the model number:

"-P" units: up to +500 Volts"-N" units: up to -500 Volts

"-PN" units: up to ±500 Volts

The AVR-5B-B features front panel keyboard and adjust knob control of the output pulse parameters along with a four line by 40-character backlit LCD display of the output amplitude, pulse width, pulse repetition frequency, and delay. The instrument includes memory to store up to four complete instrument setups. The operator may use the front panel or the computer interface to store a complete “snapshot” of all key instrument settings, and recall this setup at a later time.

The instrument is protected against overload conditions (such as short circuits) by an automatic control circuit. An internal power supply monitor removes the power to the output stage for five seconds if an average power overload exists. After that time, the unit operates normally for one second, and if the overload condition persists, the power is cut again. This cycle repeats until the overload is removed.

This instrument is intended for use in research, development, test and calibration laboratories by qualified personnel.

HIGH-VOLTAGE PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION: This instrument provides output voltages as high as 500 Volts under normal operating conditions, and generates up to 550V internally, 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 precautions should always be observed:

1. Keep exposed high-voltage wiring to an absolute minimum.

2. Wherever possible, use shielded connectors and cabling.

3. Connect and disconnect loads and cables only when the instrument is turned off.

4. Keep in mind that all cables, connectors, oscilloscope probes, and loads must have an appropriate voltage rating.

Do not attempt any repairs on the instrument, beyond the fuse replacement procedures described in this manual. Contact Avtech technical support (see page 2 for contact information) if the instrument requires servicing.

Chassis material: cast aluminum frame and handles, blue vinyl on aluminum cover plates

Temperature range: +5°C to +40°C

1) -B suffix indicates GPIB-equipped model.2) For analog electronic control (0 to +10V) of amplitude, add the “-EA” suffix to the model number. Electronic control units also include the standard

front panel controls.3) For operation at amplitudes of less than 10% of full-scale, best results will be obtained by setting the amplitude near full-scale and using external

attenuators on the output.4) The output pulse width may also be controlled externally by applying a TTL-level trigger of the desired width to a rear-panel BNC connector (PWIN =

PWOUT mode).5) Indicate desired polarity by suffixing the model number with -P or -N (i.e. positive or negative) or -PN for dual polarity option.6) SHV, MHV or HN output connectors can also be provided. To specify, suffix the model number with -SHV, -MHV or -HN as required.7) An N-male to BNC-female adapter (Amphenol P/N 31-216) is available. Add the suffix -ADPT2 to the model number to order this adapter.8) An adapter kit, consisting of an SHV PLUG to MHV FEMALE adapter and an MHV MALE to BNC FEMALE adapter, is available. Add the suffix -

ADPT1 to the model number to order this kit.9) MHV, N or HN output connectors can also be provided. To specify, suffix the model number with -MHV, -NC or -HN as required.10)Add the suffix -BR to the model number to specify the burst mode option. See http://www.avtechpulse.com/options/br for details about this option.11)The output amplitude is controlled by internal high-voltage DC power supplies. When the amplitude setting is reduced, the high voltage decays in an

exponential fashion, with the typical time constant noted in this specification. The -QD option provides a fast active-discharge circuit.12)More frequent discharges will cause the instrument to overheat, and may cause damage.13)The output amplitude is controlled by internal high-voltage DC power supplies. This is the time required for the power supplies to rise from 5% to

95% of their full value in response to a change in settings from zero to the maximum setting.

14)Valid for 50 Ohm loads. The droop will be proportionally higher into lower resistance loads.15)The instrument may be used to drive resistive loads of less than 50 Ohms, as long as the maximum output current specification is not exceeded. The

rise and fall times may increase.16)Add the suffix -R50 to specify the switchable 0/50Ω output resistance feature. The -R50 option will increase the specified rise and fall times by 10 ns.

Not available with the -XP1 or -XP2 options. This option is useful for applications where a proper 50Ω termination at the load is impossible (forexample, testing semiconductors in cryostats), because it provides 50Ω “back-matching” at the pulser end of the transmission line (absorbingreflections from the mismatched load).

17)These instruments are provided with a basic calibration checksheet, showing a selection of measured output parameters. These measurements areperformed with equipment that is calibrated on a regular basis by a third-party ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited calibration laboratory. However,Avtech itself does not claim any accreditation. For applications requiring traceable performance, use a calibrated measurement system rather thanrelying on the accuracy of the pulse generator settings.

18)The maximum average output power is only obtainable at maximum amplitude.

REGULATORY NOTES

FCC PART 18

This device complies with part 18 of the FCC rules for non-consumer industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) equipment.

This instrument is enclosed in a rugged metal chassis and uses a filtered power entry module (where applicable). The main output signal is provided on a shielded connector that is intended to be used with shielded coaxial cabling and a shielded load. Under these conditions, the interference potential of this instrument is low.

If interference is observed, check that appropriate well-shielded cabling is used on the output connectors. Contact Avtech ([email protected]) for advice if you are unsureof the most appropriate cabling. Also, check that your load is adequately shielded. It may be necessary to enclose the load in a metal enclosure.

If any of the connectors on the instrument are unused, they should be covered with shielded metal “dust caps” to reduce the interference potential.

This instrument does not normally require regular maintenance to minimize interferencepotential. However, if loose hardware or connectors are noted, they should be tightened. Contact Avtech ([email protected]) if you require assistance.

FRONT PANEL CONTROLS

1. POWER Switch . This is the main power switch. When turning the instrument on, there is normally a delay of 10 seconds before anything is shown on the main display, as the internal operating system boots up.

If the main menu does not appear after 30 seconds, turn off the instrument and leave it off for at least 60 seconds before applying power again.

2. OVERLOAD Indicator . When the instrument is powered, this indicator is normally green, indicating normal operation. If this indicator is yellow, an internal automatic overload protection circuit has been tripped. If the unit is overloaded (by operating atan exceedingly high duty cycle or by operating into a very low impedance), the protective circuit will disable the output of the instrument and turn the indicator light yellow. The light will stay yellow (i.e. output disabled) for about 5 seconds after which the instrument will attempt to re-enable the output (i.e. light green) for about 1second. If the overload condition persists, the output will be disabled again (i.e. light yellow) for another 5 seconds. If the overload condition has been removed, the instrument will resume normal operation.

This overload indicator may flash yellow briefly at start-up. This is not a cause for concern.

3. OUT CONNECTOR . This N-type connector provides the output to a 50Ω (or higher) load.

Caution: Voltages as high as ±500V may be present on the center conductor of this output connector. Avoid touching this conductor. Connect to this connector using standard coaxial cable, to ensure that the center conductor is not exposed.

4. SYNC OUT . This connector supplies a SYNC output that can be used to trigger other equipment, particularly oscilloscopes. This signal leads (or lags) the main output by a duration set by the "DELAY" controls and has an approximate amplitude

of +3 Volts to RL > 1kΩ with a pulse width of approximately 100 ns.

5. LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) . This LCD is used in conjunction with the keypad to change the instrument settings. Normally, the main menu is displayed, which lists the key adjustable parameters and their current values. The “Programming Manual for -B Instruments” describes the menus and submenus in detail.

REAR PANEL CONTROLS

Note: some connectors may be in different positions than shown above, depending on the exact combination of options ordered.

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 . The two fuses that protect the AC input are located in this drawer. Please see the “FUSES” section of this manual for more information.

3. DC FUSES . These two fuses protect the internal DC power supplies. Please see the“FUSES” sections of this manual for more information.

4. GATE . This TTL-level (0 and +5V) logic input can be used to gate the triggering of the instrument. This input can be either active high or active low, depending on the front panel settings or programming commands. (The instrument triggers normally when this input is unconnected). When set to active high mode, this input is pulled-down to ground by a 1 kΩ resistor. When set to active low mode, this input is pulled-up to +5V by a 1 kΩ resistor.

5. TRIG . This TTL-level (0 and +5V) logic input can be used to trigger the instrument, ifthe instrument is set to triggering externally. The instrument triggers on the rising edge of this input. The input impedance of this input is 1 kΩ. (Depending on the length of cable attached to this input, and the source driving it, it may be desirable toadd a coaxial 50 Ohm terminator to this input to provide a proper transmission line termination. The Pasternack (www.pasternack.com) PE6008-50 BNC feed-thru 50 Ohm terminator is suggested for this purpose.)

6. GPIB Connector . A standard GPIB cable can be attached to this connector to allow the instrument to be computer-controlled. See the “Programming Manual for -B Instruments” for more details on GPIB control.

7. RS-232 Connector. A standard serial cable with a 25-pin male connector can be attached to this connector to allow the instrument to be computer-controlled. A user name (“admin”) and a password (“default”, as shipped from the factory) are required when logging into a serial terminal session. The internal controller attempts to auto-sense the parity setting. It may be necessary to send a few return characters before attempting a login in order to provide enough data to allow this auto-sensing to work. (A standard Linux “agetty” process is used to implement serial control internally.) See the “Programming Manual for -B Instruments” for more details on RS-232 control.

8. Network Connector . This Ethernet connector allows the instrument to be remotely controlled using the VXI-11.3, ssh (secure shell), telnet, and http (web) protocols. See the “Programming Manual for -B Instruments” for more details.

9. AMP Connector . (Optional feature. Present on "-EA" units only.) The output amplitude can be set to track the voltage on this input. Zero Volts in corresponds to zero amplitude output, and +10V in corresponds to maximum amplitude out. This mode is activated by selecting "Ext Control" on the front-panel amplitude menu, or with the "source:voltage external" command.

GENERAL INFORMATION

BASIC PULSE CONTROL

This instrument can be triggered by its own internal clock or by an external TTL trigger signal. In either case, two output channels respond to the trigger: OUT and SYNC. The OUT channel is the signal that is applied to the load. Its amplitude and pulse width are variable. The SYNC pulse is a fixed-width TTL-level reference pulse used to trigger oscilloscopes or other measurement systems. When the delay is set to a positive value the SYNC pulse precedes the OUT pulse. When the delay is set to a negative value theSYNC pulse follows the OUT pulse.

These pulses are illustrated below, assuming internal triggering and a positive delay:

Figure A

If the delay is negative, the order of the SYNC and OUT pulses is reversed:

Figure B

The next figure illustrates the relationship between the signal when an external TTL-level trigger is used:

As before, if the delay is negative, the order of the SYNC and OUT pulses is reversed.

The last figure illustrates the relationship between the signal when an external TTL-leveltrigger is used in the PWIN=PWOUT mode. In this case, the output pulse width equals the external trigger’s pulse width (approximately), and the delay circuit is bypassed:

TRIGGER MODES

This instrument has four trigger modes:

Internal Trigger: the instrument controls the trigger frequency, and generates the clock internally.

External Trigger: the instrument is triggered by an external TTL-level clock on the back-panel TRIG connector.

Manual Trigger: the instrument is triggered by the front-panel “SINGLE PULSE” pushbutton.

Hold Trigger: the instrument is set to not trigger at all.

These modes can be selected using the front panel trigger menu, or by using the appropriate programming commands. (See the “Programming Manual for -B Instruments” for more details.)

PULSE WIDTH MODES

This instrument has two pulse width modes:

Normal: the instrument controls the output pulse width.

PWIN=PWOUT: the output pulse width equals the pulse width of the trigger signal on the “TRIG” connector. The instrument must be in the external trigger mode.

These modes can be selected using the front panel pulse width menu, or by using the appropriate programming commands. (See the “Programming Manual for -B Instruments” for more details.)

GATING MODES

Triggering can be suppressed by a TTL-level signal on the rear-panel GATE connector. The instrument can be set to stop triggering when this input high or low, using the front-panel gate menu or the appropriate programming commands. This input can also be set to act synchronously or asynchronously. When set to asynchronous mode, the GATE will disable the output immediately. Output pulses may be truncated. When set tosynchronous mode, the output will complete the full pulse width if the output is high, and then stop triggering. No pulses are truncated in this mode.

ELECTRONIC AMPLITUDE CONTROL, "-EA" OPTION

The output amplitude can be set to track the voltage on this input. Zero Volts in corresponds to zero amplitude output, and +10V in corresponds to maximum amplitude out. This mode is activated by selecting "Ext Control" on the front-panel amplitude menu, or with the "source:voltage external" command. The polarity remains at its last setting.

BURST GENERATION (-BR OPTION)

The waveforms given above assume that a single output pulse is generated for each trigger event (regardless of the source). However, when the burst mode feature is used on units with the -BR option, the instrument can generate 1-500 pulses for each individual trigger event. The number of output pulses in each burst can be adjusted from 1 to 500 using the front-panel controls (using the “N” menu), or by a computer command. The time between pulses (i.e., from the falling edge of one pulse to the risingedge of the next pulse) can also varied from 200 us to 1.0 seconds from the front panel (using the “BUR” menu), or by computer command.

The figure below shows burst mode operation (i.e., N > 1) used with internal triggering:

The burst mode may also be used with the front-panel “Single Pulse” pushbutton as a trigger source. (Pressing the pushbutton will actually generate a single burst, rather than a single pulse, in this mode.) Computer commands can also trigger a burst.

To control the burst count and timing from the front-panel, use the “N” and “BUR” menus. To control them using computer commands, use the SOURce:PULSe:COUNt and SOURce:PULSe:SEParation commands, as described in the programming manual.

The pulse spacing is constrained by several factors:

1. The maximum PRF limitation of the instrument applies within the burst. That is, timing between two consecutive leading edges must lie between a minimum of 1/PRFMAX and a maximum of 1.0 seconds, where PRFMAX is the maximum pulse

repetition frequency specification for the instrument.

For this instrument, the maximum PRF for the instrument is 10 kHz, so the time between two leading edges within the burst may not be smaller than 100 microseconds. The total number of pulses per second (i.e., Trigger Frequency x Burst Count) must also be less than 10 kHz.

2. The maximum duty cycle limitation of the instrument can not be exceeded inside the burst. Within the burst, the duty cycle may be calculated using DCBURST =

100% x Pulse Width / (Pulse Width + Pulse Separation). The total average duty cycle is equal to DCAVG = 100% x Pulse Width x Burst Count x Trigger

Frequency. Both DCBURST and DCAVG must be less than the rated maximum

duty cycle of the instrument.

For this instrument, the maximum duty cycle is 1% (2% with the -XP1 option, 4% with the -XP2 option).

PREVENTING OUTPUT STAGE FAILURE

The output stage is protected against overload conditions by an overload circuit and fuses on the main frame back panel. However, the output switching elements may fail if the unit is triggered at a PRF exceeding 10 kHz or at duty cycles resulting in an average output power in excess of 50 Watts. Heating and subsequent possible failure of the output stage is reduced if the following action is taken where possible:

PRF is kept to a minimum, i.e. operate in a low PRF range when possible rather than in a high PRF range.

Keep the output PW to a minimum.

Never apply an externally generated voltage to the output port.

Reduce the amplitude below 100 Volts before changing the output polarity. Note that internal protection circuits will prevent the polarity from switching when the amplitude is set higher than ±100V, until the internal power supplies have discharged the voltage on the internal energy-storage capacitors to below ±100V. This may take several tens of seconds.

OUTPUT AND LOAD IMPEDANCE (STANDARD UNITS)

OUTPUT IMPEDANCE

Standard AVR-5B-B units (without the -R50 option) have a low output impedance (nominally zero, actually < 2Ω). The output impedance is not 50Ω. (The output impedance refers to the internal resistance in series with the output.) The following consequences of this feature should be noted:

When used to switch some semiconductor devices (eg. bipolar and MOSFET transistors), this pulser will yield much faster switching times than those provided by 50 Ohm pulse generators.

This pulser will safely operate in to load impedances in the range of 50 Ohms to an open circuit. However, severe ringing may occur on the output waveform if a high-impedance load is used, due to transmission line impedance mismatching. When driving high impedance loads, it may be beneficial to add a 50 Ohm impedance in parallel with the high impedance load, in order to provide a proper termination for any transmission lines used.

This pulser may be effectively converted to a 50 Ohm output impedance generator by placing a 50 Ohm carbon composition resistor in series with the output of the unitand the load. The maximum available load voltage into a 50 Ohm load will then decrease to 250 Volts, from 500 Volts.

LOAD IMPEDANCE

The AVR-5B-B can provide voltage of up to 500V, and currents of up to 10A. When operated at maximum amplitude, the load impedance must therefore be 500V / 10A = 50Ω, or higher.

Best results (in terms of minimizing switching times and transmission line reflections) will be obtained with a 50Ω load.

Lower load impedances can be used at lower voltages, as long as the resulting output current does not exceed 10A. However, the rise and fall times may increase slightly dueto the effects of parasitic inductance – the time constant for an inductive/resistive circuitis given by L/R, so a reduction in R will increase the parasitic time constant.

The standard AVR-5B-B (without the -R50 option) can not drive a diode load directly. A series resistance (ideally 50Ω, located very close to the diode) must be added by the user.

28

Page 29: INSTRUCTIONS MODEL AVR-5B-B 500 VOLT, 10 kHz PULSE ...ed24.pdf · instructions model avr-5b-b 500 volt, 10 khz pulse generator with ieee 488.2 and rs-232 control serial number: 13962

OUTPUT AND LOAD IMPEDANCE (-R50 UNITS)

-R50 OPTION

The output impedance (the internal resistance in series with the output) on standard models (without the -R50 option) is low, to allow the pulsers to act as true voltage sources (ROUT ≈ 0Ω), and to maximize the voltage output into 50Ω loads. However, for some applications it may be desirable to have ROUT=50Ω. For example, this may be a convenient method of driving laser diodes in a probing station through coaxial cables and probes. The diode DUT represents a transmission line impedance mismatch, but the resulting reflections would be absorbed by the 50Ω “back-matching” of the pulser. This allows the full specified current to be delivered to the DUT (e.g., 10A for the AVR-5B-B). The -R50 switchable output impedance option is provided for these applications.The internal 50Ω output impedance is capable of dissipating the full rated average output power of the instrument. This option increases the rise and fall times by 10 ns.

SAMPLE WAVEFORMS FOR VARIOUS ROUT / RLOAD VALUES

Typical waveforms are shown below, with a set amplitude of +400V and a 1 us pulse width. The load is connected to the output connector using 6 feet / 2 meters of coaxial cabling.

ROUT = 0Ω ROUT = 50Ω

RLOAD = 22Ω

RLOAD = 50Ω

29

Page 30: INSTRUCTIONS MODEL AVR-5B-B 500 VOLT, 10 kHz PULSE ...ed24.pdf · instructions model avr-5b-b 500 volt, 10 khz pulse generator with ieee 488.2 and rs-232 control serial number: 13962

ROUT = 0Ω ROUT = 50Ω

RLOAD = 220Ω

RLOAD = ∞

It should be observed that maximum voltages are obtained when ROUT = 0Ω, but transmission line reflections are minimized with ROUT = 50Ω. Also, regardless of the value of ROUT, reflections and ringing are minimized when RLOAD = 50Ω.

DRIVING A DIODE LOAD DIRECTLY

If the output impedance is set to 50Ω, the instrument can drive a diode load directly. There will be a transmission line impedance mismatch at the diode, but the reflections generated by this mismatch will be largely absorbed by the 50Ω output impedance. Thereflections will not “bounce” up and down the transmission line repeatedly (just once).

This is useful for probing station setups, where a 50Ω series resistance can not be easily added to the diode load.

As an example, a BY255P-E3/54 diode was connected to the output using 6 feet of coaxial cabling, with the amplitude set to +500V, and the output impedance set to 50Ω. The following waveforms were obtained:

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 read this instruction manual thoroughly. Then read the “Local Control” section of the “Programming Manual for -B Instruments” thoroughly. The “Local Control” section describes the front panel controls used in this operational check - in particular, the MOVE, CHANGE, and ADJUST controls.

1. Connect a cable from the SYNC OUT connector to the TRIG input of an oscilloscope. Connect a 50Ω (or higher) load to the OUT connector and place the scope probe across this load. The load resistor must have a voltage rating of at least 500V. The power dissipated in the resistor is given by

P = (V2 / R) × (PW / T) = (V2 / R) × PW × f

where “V” is the output voltage, “R” is the load resistance, “PW” is the pulse width, and “T” is the pulse period (1/frequency), and “f” is the frequency. If a 50Ω resistor is used, the worst-case power dissipation is 50 Watts (100W with the -XP1 option, 200W with the -XP2 option). Factory tests are conducted using twenty 10Ω, 2W resistors connected in a series-parallel combination to make a 50Ω, 40W compositeload. Fan cooling the resistors allows for slightly higher power dissipation. (Ohmite “OY” ceramic composition resistors - http://www.ohmite.com - are recommended forsuch applications. These resistors are readily available from http://www.digi-key.com/ and other distributors.)

2. Set the oscilloscope to trigger externally with the vertical setting at 100 Volts/div and the horizontal setting at 1 us/div. Be sure that your oscilloscope and probe

Press the MOVE button until the arrow pointer is pointing at the amplitude menu item.

Press the CHANGE button. The amplitude submenu will appear. Rotate the ADJUST knob until the amplitude is set at +200V (or -200V for "-N" instruments).

Observe the oscilloscope. You should see 1 us wide, 200V pulses.

Rotate the ADJUST knob. The amplitude as seen on the oscilloscope should vary.

Reduce the amplitude to 50V (or -50V for "-N" instruments), using the adjust knob.

For "-PN" units only: Change the output polarity by pressing the “+/-” button. The output amplitude should become negative, and you should see -50V pulses on the oscilloscope. (Avoid switching polarity when the amplitude is higher than 100V. Reduce the amplitude first.)

Rotate the ADJUST knob. The amplitude as seen on the oscilloscope should vary.

Press CHANGE to return to the main menu.

10. Repeat step 9, but set the amplitude to zero.

11. This completes the operational check.

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 ofthese. Here is a basic sample sequence of commands that might be sent to the instrument after power-up:

*rst (resets the instrument)trigger:source internal (selects internal triggering)frequency 1000 Hz (sets the frequency to 1000 Hz)pulse:width 1 us (sets the pulse width to 1 us)pulse:delay 2 us (sets the delay to 2 us)output:impedance 50 (for units with -R50 option only)volt 200 (sets the amplitude to 200 V)output on (turns on the output)

For triggering a single event, this sequence would be more appropriate:

*rst (resets the instrument)trigger:source hold (turns off all triggering)pulse:width 1 us (sets the pulse width to 1 us)pulse:delay 2 us (sets the delay to 2 us)output on (turns on the output)output:impedance 0 (for units with -R50 option only)volt 200 (sets the amplitude to 200 V)trigger:source immediate (generates a single non-repetitive trigger event)trigger:source hold (turns off all triggering)output off (turns off the output)

To set the instrument to trigger from an external TTL signal applied to the rear-panel TRIG connector, use:

*rst (resets the instrument)trigger:source external (selects internal triggering)pulse:width 1 us (sets the pulse width to 1 us)pulse:delay 2 us (sets the delay to 2 us)output:impedance 0 (for units with -R50 option only)volt 200 (sets the amplitude to 200 V)output on (turns on the output)

These commands will satisfy 90% of your programming needs.

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. This will allow any internal stored charge to discharge.

There are no user-adjustable internal circuits. For repairs other than fuse replacement, please contact Avtech ([email protected]) to arrange for the instrument to be returned to the factory for repair. Service is to be performed solely by qualified service personnel.

Caution: High voltages are present inside the instrument during normal operation. Do not operate the instrument with the cover removed.

RACK MOUNTING

A rack mounting kit is available. The -R5 rack mount kit may be installed after first removing the one Phillips screw on the side panel adjacent to the front handle.

ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE

To prevent electromagnetic interference with other equipment, all used outputs should be connected to shielded loads using shielded coaxial cables. Unused outputs should be terminated with shielded coaxial terminators or with shielded coaxial dust caps, to prevent unintentional electromagnetic radiation. All cords and cables should be less than 3m in length.

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. (See the “TOP COVER REMOVAL” section for instructions on accessing the interior.) No other cleaning is recommended.
