1-1. DESCRIPTION.
1-2. The -hp- Models 400E and 400EL are versatile
ac voltmeters and db meters. Both models can be
used as ac to dc converters or wideband amplifiers.
The Model 400E is primarily intended for voltage
measurements, whereas the Model 400EL is primarily
a db meter. However, both meters indicate both volts
and db. The 400E has a linear ac scale with a logarithmic db scale underneath, and the 400EL has a
linear db scale with a logarithmic ac scale underneath.
Since the difference in scales is the only difference
between the two instruments, this manual will use the
term 400E/EL in reference to both instruments.
1-3. Figure 1-1 shows both the Model 400E and the
Model 400EL. Table 1-1 is a list of specifications.
Paragraphs 1-1 to 1-11 and Table 1-1 (Cont’d)
NOTE
1-7. OPTION 02.
1-8. Option 02 adds a relative reference adjustment
to the 400E/EL. The REL. REF. control allows a continuous reduction in sensitivity by a maximum of 3
db in order to make relative voltage or db measurements.
1-9. INSTRUMENT AND MANUAL
IDENTIFICATION.
1-10. Hewlett-Packard instruments are identified by
a two-section, eight-digit serial number (000-00000).
Section I
1-4. OPTIONS AVAILABLE.
1-5. OPTION 01 (400E Only).
1-6. Option 01 places the db scale uppermost for
greater resolution when making db measurements.
Table 1-1. Specifications (Cent’d)
1-11. If the first three digits of the two-section, eight-
digit serial number are prefixed with an E or G, your
instrument was produced in Europe. An E000-00000
serial number indicates that the instrument was manufactured in England; a G000-00000 serial number indicates that the instrument was manufactured in Germany.

INSTALLATION
2-1. INTRODUCTION.
2-2. This section contains information and instructions necessary for the installation and shipping of the
Model 400E and 400EL voltmeters. Included are initial inspection procedures, power and grounding requirements, installation information, and instructions
for repackaging for shipment.
2-3. INITIAL INSPECTION.
2-4. This instrument was carefully inspected both
mechanically and electrically before shipment. It
should be physically free of mars or scratches and in
perfect electrical order upon receipt. To confirm
this, the instrument should be inspected for physical
damage in transit. Also check for supplied accessories,
and test the electrical performance of the instrument
using the procedure outlined in Paragraph 5-7.
Report any damage or deficiencies in
accordance with paragraph
1-A. 3.
2-5. POWER REQUIREMENTS.
2-6. The Model 400E/EL can be operated from any
source of 115 or 230 volts at 50 to 1000 cycles or from
two 35 to 55 volt batteries connected to the rear panel
BATTERY terminals.
the rear panel selects the desired line voltage. Power
dissipation is 5 watts maximum.

2-7. GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS.
2-8. To protect operating personnel, the National
Electrical Manufacturers’ Association (NEMA) recom-
mends that the instrument panel and cabinet be
grounded.All Hewlett- Packard instruments are
equipped with a three-conductor power cable which,
when plugged into an appropriate receptacle, grounds
the instrument.
three-prong connector is the ground wire.
2-9. To preserve the protection feature when operating the instrument from a two-contact outlet, use a
three-prong to two-prong adapter and connect the
green pigtail on the adapter to ground.
The offset pin on the power cable
2-10. INSTALLATION.
2-11. The Model 400E/EL is fully transistorized;
therefore, no special cooling is required. However,
the instrument should not be operated where the
ambient temperature exceeds 55°C (131°F) or the
relative humidity exceeds 95%.
2-12. BENCH MOUNTING.
2-13. The Model 400E/EL is shipped with plastic feet
and tilt stand in place, ready for use as a bench instrument.
2-14. RACK MOUNTING.
2-15. The Model 400E/EL may be rack mounted by
using an adapter frame (-hp- Part No. 5060-0797).

2-16. COMBINATION MOUNTING.
2-17. The Model 400E/EL may be mounted in combi-
nation with other submodular units by using a Combining Case (-hp- Model 1051A or 1052A). The Combining Case is a full-module unit which accepts various
combinations of submodular units. Being a full- module
unit, the combining case can be bench or rack mounted
and is analogous to any full-module instrument.
