1-2. BASIC FRAME
1-3.The Hewlett-Packard Model 7035B X-Y Recorder is a
general purpose laboratory instrument designed for plotting
cartesian coordinate graphs from dc electrical sources.
Specially guarded and shielded circuitry provides one megohm
input resistance at null on all fixed and variable ranges from
100 mV/in. (40 mV/cm) and above. Five calibrated dc input
ranges in each axis, the most sensitive is used
potentiometrically, are standard features. Arbitrary full scale
voltage ranges may be used with calibrated de ranges by using
a variable input attenuator. The Autogrip holddown platen
accepts standard 8-1/2 x 11 inches or smaller graph paper.
The instrument is readily adaptable from bench to rack
mounting by installing the wing brackets provided. See
Figures 1-1 and 1-2 for general configuration.
1-4. MODEL-MANUAL INFORMATION
1-5.This manual is applicable to the Model 7035B with a
serial prefix of 1114A. The serial prefix is the first four digits
and a letter of a two-part ten-item serial number (0000A-
00000) used to identify each Hewlett-Packard instrument (see
Figure 1-3). Should any change to this manual be necessary,
a new serial prefix will be assigned to the changed model and
a change sheet (Manual Change) will be supplied defining the
differences between the changed model and the one described
within this manual.

1-17. MODEL 7563A LOG VOLTMETER/ AMPLIFIER
1-18. The Model 7563A DC Log Voltmeter/Amplifier is
designed to perform two independent operations. As a
voltmeter, usable over a 110 dB input amplitude range,
accurate readings within 1.5 dB over an 80 dB dynamic range
are achieved, and the need for range switching is
unnecessary. As a log amplifier, output signals are
logarithmically related to applied input signals; this solid-state
amplifier permits semilogplotting operations with HP X-Y and
strip-chart recorders, and will operate with most other
recorders and oscilloscopes. Two amplifiers may be used for
log-log records.
1-19. MODEL 17108A TIME BASE
1-20. The 17108A is a self-contained external time base which
will operate on either axis of the 7035B. Any number of
recorders may be driven simultaneously providing the
combined parallel input impedance is 20, 000 ohms or more.
Five sweep speeds are provided from 0.5 to 50 seconds/inch.
1-21. MODEL 10025A STRAIGHT-THROUGH VOLTAGE
PROBE
1-22. The 10025A is a flexible probe with small, pushbutton
pincer jaws which provide a straight-through connection to the
7035B. Maximum input voltage is 600 volts peak. The cable is
terminated in a shielded dual banana plug.
1-23. MODEL 10111A ADAPTER
1-25. MODEL 10002A/B/C/D VOLTAGE DIVIDER PROBE.
1-26. The Voltage Divider Probe (50:1) extends the voltage
range of the 7035B to 1000 volts full scale. The high input
impedance (9 meg of this probe also reduces the loading of the
7035B on the system under test. Accuracy is ± 3%, requires
10111 Adapter, and not usable on the 1 mV/in. and 10 mV/in.
(0.4 mV/cm and 4 mV/cm) ranges. The length of the 10002A
is 5 feet, 10002B is 10 feet, 10002C is 5 feet with a black
identification boot, and the 10002C is 10 feet with a black
identification boot.
1-27. MODEL 11000A CABLE ASSEMBLY
1-28. Dual banana plugs terminate a section of 50-ohm cable,
44 inches overall, plugs for binding posts spaced 3/4 inch.
1-29. TYPICAL PERFORMANCE
1-30. INPUT RESISTANCE VS OFF BALANCE
CHARACTERISTICS
1-31. The input resistance is constant, regardless of off
balance condition except for the 1 mV/in. (0.4 mV/cm) range.
This range, operating in potentiometric mode, draws all the
current flowing in the balance loop through the input circuit.
Referring to Figure 1-6, observe that a linear relationship exists
between the distance off balance and the input resistance, and
because the input resistance at 1% of full scale off balance is
approximately 10 meg ohms, a small off balance condition is
noticeable.
1-24. The 10111A (shielded banana-post-to-female-BNC)
converts banana post inputs on 7035B to shielded BNC inputs
for low-level signal work. This adapter may be used in pairs for
balanced input characteristics.
1-4
1-32. NORMAL MODE NOISE
1-33. This instrument is designed to record dc signals.
Normal mode noise (like frequency) is often superimposed on
the low frequency, which if not eliminated, may produce
unsatisfactory recordings. An excessive amount of noise can
Page 11
FIGURE 1-6. INPUT RESISTANCE CHARACTERISTICS
saturate the amplifier's output stage causing an increased
dead zone and decreased pen speed. Pen oscillation may
also result if the noise "beats" with the servo system's carrier
frequency. A built-in low pass filter in both axes minimizes the
effects of normal mode noise. The response of this filter is
illustrated in Figure 1-7.
1-34. DYNAMIC RESPONSE
1-35. Figure 1-8 indicates the typical frequency response for a
sinusoidal input. Although the recorder is designed to record
slowly varying dc voltages, ac voltages up to a few Hz can be
recorded.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3-1.OPERATING REQUIREMENTS
3-2.GENERAL
3-3.The basic function of the Model 7035B Recorder is to
produce graphic tracings showing the relationship between two
variable functions. Slowly varying dc signals representing
these functions are applied to the input terminals of the
respective axes of the instrument, and its controls adjusted so
that the resulting graph will cover the desired scope of
operation.
CAUTIONBefore attempting to operate this
instrument the user should study the
following paragraphs.
3-4.CONTROLS, CONNECTORS, AND INDICATORS
3-5.The front and rear panel controls, connectors, and
indicators are depicted and explained in
Figures 3-1 and 3-2.
3-6.ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
3-7.OPERATING POWER
3-8. The line power supplied to the recorder should be either
115 or 230 volts 10%, 50 to 60 Hz, single phase. A voltage
conversion switch, see Figure 3-2, must be set to correspond
to the available supply voltage. For 115 Vac use a 3/4 amp
fuse. For 230 Vac use a 3/8 amp fuse.
CAUTION Do not directly apply signals in excess of
250 volts on the X-axis or 175 volts on the
Y-axis.
3-11. GROUNDING
3-12. For optimum performance, the third prong of the ac
power cord must be grounded. When operating from
ungrounded power sources, adequate grounding is mandatory.
3-13. RECORDING INPUT CONNECTIONS
3-14. Input terminals for each axis are located on the front
panel adjacent to the corresponding range switches. Front
panel terminals will accept either "banana" plugs or open
wires.
3-15. CONNECTION TECHNIQUES FOR THE GUARD
SHIELD
3-16. Connect the recorder's guard shield in one of the
following ways:
a. To the SOURCE ground when:
1. Operating on low level ranges
2. When ac noise pickup is a problem.
b. To the negative input using the convenient shorting
straps when conditions 1 and 2 do not exist.
3-9. INPUT SIGNALS
3-10. The recorder input terminals (+ and -) must be supplied
with a dc signal on each axis. This signal should be in direct
proportion to the actual function unless a special relationship is
required, such as the logarithmic value of the input voltage.
These signals must vary at a rate within the response
capabilities of the instrument and have amplitudes within its
scale ranges. If an excessive amount of ac noise is present in
the input signals, the response of the recorder may become
sluggish and erratic or oscillatory.
CAUTIONDo not leave the guard shield
disconnected or floating. Tighten guard
strap securely.
3-17. MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE SOURCE IMPEDANCE
3-18. No restrictions except on fixed 1mv/in. (0.4 mv/cm)
range. Up to 20k ohm source impedance will not appreciably
alter the recorder's performance. Higher source impedance
will cause an increase in dead zone and a decrease in pen
speed. Values up to approximately 100k may be compensated
for by adjusting the servo amplifier gain adjustment (front
panel).

Page 17
FIGURE 3-2. REAR PANEL
3-19. OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
3-20. The POWER/SERVO toggle switch apples 115 volts AC
to the recorder. To lower power dissipation and avoid
unnecessary wear to the balancing potentiometers and other
mechanical parts when not actually recording, place the toggle
switch to ON-OFF position.
3-21. When a voltage in excess of the RANGE SETTING is
applied to either set of input terminals, the carriage arm or pen
mount (depending upon the axis used) will be driven rapidly to
full scale and strike the stop. If this condition prevails, the
motor will continue running due to a slip-clutch arrangement,
prolonged running against the stop may cause excessive
motor heating and clutch wear.
3-22. Operation on the most sensitive input range with no
input (input terminals not connected) will result in an inaccurate
zero null. This can be overcome by shunting the input
terminals with a 20k (maximum resistor).
3-23. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3-24. OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS
3-25. Amplitude of the signal must be within the scale range
and vary in level within the response capabilities of the
instrument.
3-26. CONNECT POWER
3-27. Set the power voltage selector switch located on rear of
instrument to either 115 or 230 volts, depending on the
available power source. Connect power cord between the
power receptacle and the power source.
3-28. CONNECT INPUTS
3-29. Connect the signal inputs to each axis through the front
input terminals using open wires or banana connectors, or
through the rear input connectors using the furnished mating
connector. Normally connect the guard input terminal to the
negative input terminal. However, if the shields are to be
driven directly from a remote common mode source, the
jumper is disconnected and a separate wire is connected
between the guard input and the common mode voltage
source. Set RANGE switch to the expected maximum values.
3-30. ENERGIZE RECORDER
3-31. Set the POWER/SERVO toggle switch to ON-ON.
CAUTIONUnits using photochoppers require a few
minutes of operation to eliminate dark
storage effects. After prolonged storage
of 3 to 6 months, a longer period of run in
may be required. After several days of
storage, a slight improvement in retrace
characteristics may be produced by
several high speed full scale excursions
on each axis.
3-3
Page 18
3-32. INSTALL PAPER
3-33. Install a sheet of graph paper on the recording platen,
aligning lower and left edges with corresponding paper guides.
Set the CHART switch to HOLD, thereby activating the
AUTOGRIP holddown system. Smooth paper as necessary.
3-34. INSTALL PEN
3-35. The disposable pen is pushed into the notched holder
located on the scale, and twisted clockwise to lock in holder.
See Figure 3-3.
CAUTIONThe disposable pen incorporates a
precision writing tip. Care must be taken
not to damage this tip during pen
changing or other handling. Writing by
hand on any surface may damage pen tip.
Use pen only in pen holder on recorder.
3-36. ZERO SET
3-37. Connect the input signals to the recorder and adjust
ZERO controls so that the resulting graph will cover the
desired area on the paper.
3-38. LOWER PEN
3-39. Place PEN toggle switch to DOWN position.

SECTION IV
THEORY OF OPERATION
4-1.GENERAL OPERATION DESCRIPTION
4-2.GUARDED INPUTS. The Model 7035B is equipped
with guarded inputs to enable high common mode rejection of
100 db for ac and 130 db for dc voltages. A guard shield
encloses the critical input circuitry except for the balance
potentiometer which is shielded individually from external
coupling. The guard shields are connected to the guard
terminals.
4-3.SERVOMECHANISM. There are two similar, but
independent, self-balancing servomechanisms in the 7035B,
both isolated from ground. In operation, one servomechanism
moves the pen carriage in a vertical direction, the other moves
the entire carriage arm in a horizontal direction in response to
input signals representing data applied to the respective input
terminals. The resulting relative motions of the two
servomechanisms trace cartesian coordinate graphs of the
relationship on the graph paper.
4-4.FIXED AND VERNIER RANGE OPERATION. The
basic dc voltage range of the servo systems is 1 millivolt per
inch (0.4 mv/cm). Operation with greater voltages is obtained
by switching precision resistors into the attenuator circuits.
Each range step may be made continuously variable by
switching in a variable potentiometer. Adjustment of this
control will allow an arbitrary voltage to drive the pen to full
scale. In operation, the initial range setting is based on the
expected maximum voltages.
4-5.BALANCING ACTION. After passing through the
attenuator, the input signal is applied to the balance circuit
where it is cancelled by an internally supplied opposing
voltage. Under "balanced" conditions, there is no error signal
output from the balance circuit and the servo system is at null.
When the input signal changes value, an unbalanced condition
exists. The resulting error signal is applied to a photochopper
which converts the dc to a 60 Hz ac form which is amplified
and applied to the servomotor. Because the motor and
rebalance potentiometer are mechanically coupled, the
balance voltage changes value until the input signal is
cancelled. If the input data is constantly varying at rates within
the capabilities of the instrument, this rebalancing action is
continuous, and the rebalance potentiometers and the pens
are always in a position directly proportional to the amplitude of
the signals at the respective input terminals.
4-6.AUTOGRIP HOLDDOWN. The AUTOGRIP holddown
platen is completely electronic. There are no mechanical or
moving parts. The unit is maintenance free, except for periodic
cleaning of the writing surface.
4-7.CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
4-8.Schematic symbols refer to the Y-axis unless otherwise
stipulated; however, the X-axis is electrically identical to the Yaxis (with exceptions noted). Reference should be made to the
block diagrams, Figures 4-1 and 4-2, and also the schematics
referenced in each of the following paragraphs.
4-9.RANGE SELECTOR CIRCUIT (See Figure 4-3). Input
terminals of each axis connect to a precision step attenuator
which determines the maximum allowable input voltage. The
resistors forming the attenuator are R-101 through R-105. The
attenuator consists of five precision (± 0.1%) metal film
resistors with good temperature stability. With the selector
switch in the 1 mv/inch (0.4 mv/cm) position, the input voltage
is applied directly to the balance circuit with no attenuation.
The attenuator is also disconnected as a shunt from the input
terminals allowing potentiometric operation in this position.
This provides essentially infinite input impedance when the
recorder is at null. Typical input currents at null on this range
are approximately 10
-10
amps. The full scale balance voltage is
always 7 mv for the Y-axis and 10 mv for the X-axis. For
higher ranges, resistance is inserted in series with the 10,000
ohms (R-109) at the base of the attenuator. On the 1 volt/inch
(0.4 mv/cm) position, and above, the 10,000 ohms is shunted
and no additional series resistance is added.
4-10. RANGE SELECTOR VERNIER CIRCUIT (See
Figure 4-3). The 10 position Range selector has 5 calibrated
positions and 5 positions that provide a vernier sensitivity that
can be adjusted by the user.
4-1
Page 20
4-2
FIGURE 4-1. BLOCK DIAGRAM
FIGURE 4-2. DETAILED BLOCK DIAGRAM
Page 21
FIGURE 4-3. RANGE SELECTOR
When the Range selector is set to any of the vernier positions
the resistors used in the fixed positions are switched out and
replaced by a new set of components. The heart of the vernier
circuitry is the variable potentiometer R-108 and the voltage
limiter R-110. When the range selector is set to the first
vernier range, the input signal is applied directly to R-108 and
R-110, and passed through the wiper to the balance circuit.
The other four positions use R-107 or R-106 to attenuate the
signal. In the last two positions the signal from the wiper of R108 is divided by the string composed of R-111,
R-112, and R-113.
4-13. SLIDEWIRE CIRCUIT (See Figure 4-6.) The Slidewire
Circuit provides the electrical feedback to the Photochopper
and Balance Circuit from the pen carriage or carriage arm.
Resistors R-126 and R-125 are calibration resistors for the
feedback element (slidewire) R-124. Capacitor C-108 passes
unwanted spurious wiper noise to circuit common. Resistor
R-121 limits the voltage applied to the Photochopper and
Balance Circuit.
4-14. DAMPING NETWORK (See Figure 4-6). The phase
lead network (C-107 and R-122) draws a charging current
FIGURE 4-4. INPUT FILTER
4-11. INPUT FILTER (See Figure 4-4.) The input filter is
composed of 3 RC sections. It is a low pass filter providing a
minimum of 20 db attenuation of 60 Hz and a cutoff of 18 db
per octave above 60 Hz to insure smooth plotting from signals
containing extraneous noise. Filter components in the Y axis
are capacitors C-103, C-104, and C-105, with resistors R-114,
R-115, and R-116. The insertion of a filter of this type in each
axis of a two-axis recorder can cause phase shift relative to the
other axis. Since this phase shift can vary from unit to unit
(depending upon component tolerances). R-114 is a variable
resistor that is factory adjusted to equalize the phase shift
between axes. A slight phase shift, however, will be noted
when changing from range to range and when using the range
selector vernier. This phase shift may become very
pronounced on the 1 mv/inch (0.4 mv/cm) range if the input
source impedance is extremely large or extremely small.
Diodes CR-101 and CR-102 are protective devices used to
minimize the possibility of component damage due to an overvoltage at the input terminals.
4-12. ZERO CIRCUIT (See Figure 4-5.) The zero circuit is
composed of R-123 and R-120. The potentiometer R-123
permits the electrical zero to be placed ±1 full scale from
normal zero. Resistor R-120 limits the voltage that is applied
to the Photochopper and Balance Circuit.
FIGURE 4-5. ZERO CIRCUIT

whenever a change in output occurs, thus increasing the rate
of appearance of the balance voltage. This phase advance in
the slowly varying error signal causes an "anticipatory"
approach to the balance point, producing damping.
4-15. PHOTOCHOPPER AND BALANCE CIRCUIT (See
Figure 4-7). The Photochopper and Balance Circuit
algebraically sums the outputs of the Input Filter, Zero Circuit,
and Slidewire and Damping Network, and converts the
summation to 50 or 60 Hz form depending on the power line
frequency. Resistor R-119 sums the outputs from the Zero
Circuit and Slidewire and Damping Network. C-106
suppresses spurious voltages that may appear across R-119.
The voltage difference between the potential across R-119 and
the potential from the Input Filter is applied across the
photoconductive cells and their load resistors R-117 and
R-118. The photoconductive cells V-101 and V-102 are
alternately turned on and off by neon bulbs DS-2 and DS-4.
The bulbs are driven as described in Paragraph 4-22 in
synchronism with the power line. This switching action of the
photoconductive cells causes an ac error signal output whose
peak-to-peak amplitude is equal to the dc error signal. The ac
error signal will be either in phase or 180 degrees out of phase,
with respect to the power line, depending on the polarity of the
dc error signal. The direction of rotation of the servo motor is
determined by the relative phase excitation of the winding in
the servo amplifier's output Power Amplifier/Demodulator
Stage and the phase of the ac error signal. This phase
sensing causes the motor to drive potentiometer R-174 in a
direction necessary to seek balance. The total magnitude of
the error signal never exceeds 10 mv on the X-axis or 7 mv on
the Y-axis, and as the instruments must be sensitive to
approximately 0.1% of this voltage, it is apparent that error
signals present are exceedingly small, actually in the low
microvolt region. With this in mind, all input circuitry is carefully
engineered to minimize interference from stray hum pickup and
thermal emfs.
FIGURE 4-7. PHOTOCHOPPER AND
BALANCE CIRCUIT
4-16. DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER (See Figure 4-8). The ac
error signal from the Modulator and Balance Network is applied
to the Gates of Q-101 and Q-102 through coupling capacitors
C-109 and C-110. At time T1; a positive voltage is applied to
the Gate of Q-101, the Source will follow the Gate, and a
positive voltage appears at the Source of Q-102. This positive
voltage at the Source, together with the negative voltage at the
Gate, causes Q-102 to "shut-off" and the Drain becomes more
positive. At time T2, the Source-Gate junction of Q-102 to turn
on and the Drain will become more negative. Components R130, C-115, R-129, and C-114 are power supply filters.
Capacitors C-112 and C-113 couple the signal from Q-101 to
Q-102. Resistors R-128 and R-132 provide Source loads, and
R-131 provides the Drain load for Q-102. This stage has a
voltage gain of approximately ten.
FIGURE 4-8. DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER
4-17. VOLTAGE AMPLIFIER (See Figure 4-9.) The ac error
signal from the Differential Amplifier is capacitor coupled by C116 to the base of the first transistor in the voltage amplifier, Q-
103. This high voltage gain section is comprised of three dc
coupled silicon transistors, Q-103, Q-104, and Q-105. This
stage has a minimum ac feedback of 20 db to insure stable
long term performance. The closed loop ac gain is dictated by
resistors R-136 and R-137. R-137 serves to vary the amount
of feedback and act as the servo amplifier gain control. The
electrical location of this control makes it suitable for physically
placing it with the low level dc circuitry and having no danger of
undesired feedback or oscillation. The dc stability of this stage
is achieved by the feedback path from the collector of Q-105.
This feedback path is a low pass filter comprised of resistors
R-138 and R-104, and capacitors C-118 and C-120. It
provides good dc negative feedback, but has adequate ac bypassing so that it has no influence on the overall ac gain of the
amplifier. The several second warm-up time of the recorder is
caused by the time constant of this feedback network. Diode
CR-103 is used to improve the bias voltage conditions on the
input of Q-105 so that R-141 may be a reasonable size. R-139
4-4
Page 23
is used to pull sufficient quiescent current through Zener diode
CR-104, thereby holding its dynamic impedance at a
reasonable magnitude. Additional amplification is provided by
Q-106 which is capacitor coupled from Q-105 by C-121. The
voltage gain of the Voltage Amplifier is approximately 2000.
FIGURE 4-9. VOLTAGE AMPLIFIER
4-18. POWER AMPLIFIER/DEMODULATOR (See Figure 4-
10). This section can be roughly divided into two sections: the
first section provides the current gain required, and the last
provides both additional current gain and acts as a
demodulator. This stage consists of transistors Q-107, Q-108,
Q-109, and Q-110. Since this is essentially a Class B
operating stage, and the output section is a demodulator
applying half-wave ac to a permanent magnet dc servo motor,
operation of the demodulator section must first be understood
before discussing the entire output stage.
FIGURE 4-10. AMPLIFIER/DEMODULATOR
the line voltage appearing in the secondary of power
transformer T-601. The polarity of Point B is determined by the
error voltage amplifier output and will be either in phase or 180
degrees out of phase with the line as determined by the error
voltage applied to the photochopper.
FIGURE 4-11. MOTOR CONTROL AND
DEMODULATOR
Mode 1Current flows from T-601, through B-101,
A-CR-108, CR-110, Q-110, R-115, and
B+through CR-107 back to T-601. The motor
will rotate right.
Mode 2Current flowing from T-601 is blocked by
A-Q-110. No current will flow, and motor
B-will not rotate.
Mode 3Current flows from T-601 through CR-106,
A+CR-110, Q-110, R-155, CR-109, B-101
B+back to T-601. The motor will rotate left.
Mode 4Current flowing from T-601 is blocked by
A+Q-110. No current will flow, and motor
B-will not rotate.
4-20. AC feedback as well as dc feedback is obtained via
R-149 and R-155 to the emitter of the first transistor, Q-107.
The bias current at the input transistor is designed to pull the
output stage very slightly into Class A operation, to the extent
that at null, the voltage across the servo motor is
approximately 1/3 volt rms. Diode CR-105 in the bias string
helps to compensate for the temperature change of Vbe of the
input transistor Q-107 over the temperature range. Resistor R153, coupling the second and third transistor, limits the current
drain of Q-108 from the 15 volt supply when the output stage is
saturated. Diode CR-110 is used to minimize the power
dissipation in the output transistor Q-110 when the darlington
pair is saturated. Capacitor C-124 is connected directly across
the dc servo motor and serves to suppress RFI caused by the
motor brushes. The voltage gain of this stage is approximately
6.
4-19. The demodulator is shown in simplified form in Figure 4-
11. Power to drive the dc servo motor is taken from a separate
shielded winding on power transformer T-601. The direction of
the motor rotation is determined by the direction of current
through the armature. Control of the motor current is provided
by the darlington pair comprised of transistors Q-109, and Q110, operating essentially Class B. The four modes of
operation of the demodulator are determined by the relative
phasing of the voltage at Points A and B. Point A is excited by
4-21. POWER AND REFERENCE SUPPLY (See Figure
4-12). The reference voltage for each axis is independents
derived from a Zener controlled dc power supply normally 9
volts. The temperature stability of this supply is better than
0.002% per degree C. This supply also furnished the voltage
for the servo amplifier's first three stages. Since the servo
amplifier input circuit
4-5
Page 24
combination is floated free of ground at the power transformer,
the reference supply serves several purposes: it not only
furnishes the stable voltage for the balance circuit, but also
furnishes all the power requirements for the servo amplifier
with the exception of the Power Transformer T-601 furnishes
this power from a shielded secondary through rectifying diodes
CR-115 and CR-116 into a peak filter C-125. Two shunt
supplies in series furnish 15 volts for the amplifier's power
stages and 9 volts for the input stages and balance circuit. An
identical but reversed supply furnishes the -9 volts for the zero
circuit.
FIGURE 4-12. POWER AND REFERENCE SUPPLY
4-22. NEON DRIVER (See Figure 4-13.) The power supply for
the neon bulbs that actuate the photochopper's photo cells is
basically a voltage clamp-in circuit comprised of capacitors
C-301, C-302 and diodes CR-301, CR-302. On alternate halfcycles, diode CR-301 conducts causing the full power line
voltage to be placed across capacitor C-301. This essentially
doubles the peak value available to ignite the neon bulbs.
Since high brightness neon bulbs are used to efficiently
operate the photo cells, and since the firing voltage of a high
brightness neon bulb prior to aging may vary greatly, this
voltage doubler eliminates the necessity for aged bulbs by
providing a maximum voltage that will always exceed the
fluctuations of the required firing voltage.
4-23. AUTOGRIP POWER SUPPLY (See Figure 4-14.) The
Autogrip power supply is also located on the amplifier printed
circuit board. The power is obtained from the high voltage
secondary winding on the main power transformer T-601 and
the remainder of the supply is composed of resistors R501
through R505, diodes CR501 through 504, and dual capacitors
C501 and C502. Resistor R501 serves as a current limiter and
capacitor C501 and C502, as well as diodes CR501 through
CR504 form a power supply that places a dc voltage between
the grids of the Autogrip table that is equal to + 380V ± 10%
and -380V ± 10% referenced to ground. Switch S501 is used
to deenergize the Autogrip. A contact closure in the switch
grounds the input voltage to the quadrupler rectifier circuit,
causing the dc voltage on the Autogrip table to go to zero, thus
making the holddown inoperative.
FIGURE 4-14. AUTOGRIP POWER SUPPLY
4-24. PEN DROP SUPPLY (See Figure 4-15.) The power
supply for the electric pen lift consists of a low voltage winding
on T-601, diode CR-401, resistor R-401 and capacitor C-402.
With switch S-401 open, C-402 charges to the peak dc voltage
of the supply. When S-401 is closed, the capacitor discharges
through the pen solenoid, causing a large peak voltage to be
placed across the solenoid for a short period of time. This
surge increases the pull-in force of the solenoid while the
resistor R-401 provides a lower maintained current after the
capacitor has partially discharged. C-401 suppresses switch
arcing.

SECTION V
MAINTENANCE, PERFORMANCE CHECKS, AND ADJUSTMENTS
5-1. INTRODUCTION
5-2. This section provides information for maintenance,
performance testing, functional checks, and adjustments of the
7035B X-Y Recorder. Maintenance procedures, tests, and
adjustments will ensure that the instrument conforms to
specifications. Functional checks maintain the instrument in an
operational condition. If the instrument fails to meet
specifications, or is inoperable, refer to Section VII,
Troubleshooting.
5-3.PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
5-4.GENERAL
5-5.The instrument must be maintained properly for
accurate, trouble-free operation. This requires periodic
lubrication, performance checks, and visual and electrical
checks. In accordance with good maintenance procedures for
all precision measuring instruments, Hewlett-Packard
recorders should be protected from dust. Cover the instrument
when not in use.
5-6.ENVIRONMENTAL OPERATION
5-7.This instrument is designed to operate over an ambient
temperature range of approximately 0°C to 55°C. Operation
under other conditions will produce inaccurate results and may
cause damage to the recorder. In areas with high humidity,
graph paper may become distorted, affecting the accuracy of
the grid lines. The area of operation should also be as free as
possible of air contamination (soot, smoke, fumes, etc).
Excessive air contamination will require more frequent
cleaning.
5-8.CLEANING
b. In accessible areas and where there is only dust
accumulation, cleaning can be accomplished with an air gun.
In more accessible areas and where the air gun will not
remove dirt, dust, or ink, accumulations should be removed
with a sponge or cloth saturated in plain soap and warm water,
then wiped dry.
c. Every eighteen to twenty-four months, gears should
be cleaned thoroughly with a solvent and relubricated. Do not
use soap or water on these components.
d. The following method is recommended for cleaning
Autogrip table. Dust and other accumulation of foreign films on
the table surface will lower the paper holding force. The film
may be removed and the table holding ability restored by using
the cleaning procedure. If strong chemicals, abrasives, or too
much water is used, the table may be permanently damaged.
To clean:
1. Remove pen and paper from recorder.
2. Select a mild liquid soap. Do not use products
with abrasive or corrosive chemicals.
3. Use soft cloth that will not scratch the surface but
will absorb water.
4. Saturate the cloth in warm, soapy water. Wring
cloth until majority of water has been removed.
5. Wipe table surface with damp cloth until Autogrip
table is clean.
CAUTIONNever let water stand on Autogrip
surface. It may permanently damage the
table.
5-9.Thorough cleaning should be performed periodically.
Intervals are determined by type of operation, local air
contamination, and climatic conditions. Generally, under
normal use and conditions, cleaning intervals should be nine to
twelve months. Cleaning routine should include the following:
a. Remove platen and bottom cover. See paragraph
5-18.
6. Wipe any moisture from surface.
7. Allow a few minutes to dry before recording.
CAUTIONDo not use solvents or silicone-based
cleaners of any type on the Autogrip
platen.
5-1
Page 26
5-10. POTENTIOMETER CLEANING
5-11. Irregular or "jumpy" plots produced by smooth signals
on a properly adjusted recorder may indicate worn or dirty
balance potentiometers or wipers. To clean the
potentiometer., spray the potentiometer along its entire length
with Slidewire Cleaner (Part No. 5080-3605). Rapidly move
the carriage arm or pen carriage several full scale excursions.
Spray the wiper directly with Slideware Cleaner. Thoroughly
saturate a Kimwipe (Kimberly-Clark Type 900-S) or a cotton
swab with Slidewire Cleaner. Rub the potentiometer (wire
mandrel and return strip) along its entire length, using the
moistened tissue or swab (see Figure 5-1). Note any
discoloration of the tissue or swab after rubbing the
potentiometer. Repeat the cleaning procedure until there is no
stain, then clean once more to insure that all contaminants
have been removed. After cleaning, the potentiometer (wire
mandrel and return strip) must be lubricated with the furnished
Slidewire Lubricant (Part No. 5080-3635). This lubrication will
reduce wear and chemical contamination of the balance
potentiometer assembly (see Figure 5-2).
FIGURE 5-2. POTENTIOMETER LUBRICATION
a. Apply a thin film of lubricant on the X and Y gear
drives (including idler gear). Recommended grease is
Aeroshell MIL-G-7118A and 3276A or HP Part Number 6040-
0222.
CAUTION Lubricant must not spill onto the
X-axis drive belt.
FIGURE 5-1. POTENTIOMETER CLEANING
5-12. LUBRICATION
5-13. The Model 7035B is a precision instrument. Gears and
other moving parts have very close tolerances. Lubrication of
gears should be performed sparingly. Over lubrication may
produce more friction than no lubrication. Intervals between
periodic lubrication are determined by the type of operation,
local air contamination, and climatic conditions. Generally,
under normal use and conditions, the recorder should be
lubricated every nine to twelve months. Complete relubrication
should be performed every two years. All ball bearings are
prelubricated by the manufacturer and require no further
lubrication.
5-14. VISUAL LUBRICATION
5-15. During periodic cleaning and lubrication, a planned
visual inspection should be performed. The following steps are
a general approach:
a. Check both the X and Y drive gears for proper
adjustment (a very slight amount of backlash) and any worn or
damaged teeth.
b. Inspect X-axis drive cable pulleys for any binding.
c. Insure that both servo motors are mounted securely.
d. Move pen carriage up and down, listening for
scrapes, grinding noises, etc., while feeling for any binding in
the movement. Repeat this procedure for the carriage arm.
e. Check cables of both axes for fraying or rubbing.
f. A check of components should include inspection for
evidence of overheating, loose connections, cracked circuit
boards, etc.
5-16. MECHANICAL MAINTENANCE
5-17. DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY
5-18. Access to components for maintenance, checks, and
adjustments requires removal of exterior parts

5-31. SERVO MOTOR MAINTENANCE
5-32. The magnetic field strength of the servo motor will
weaken if the rotor is removed from within the magnet. Upon
reassembly, it will be impossible for the motor to return to
specified performance. Therefore, only servo motor
replacement and brush replacement or adjustment are
recommended.
FIGURE 5-9. SERVO MOTOR MAINTENANCE AND

5-37. BRUSH REPLACEMENT
5-38. If it appears the brushes must be replaced, perform the
following steps without removing the motor from the recorder.
a. Unsolder two motor leads and remove two solder lug
mounting screws. (Note the polarity of the lugs and mark so
that when reassembling a phase reversal will be avoided.)
b. Unhook brush spring from under tab on each lug.
Pivot brush springs outward and pull brushes out of their holes.
Remove solder lugs and brushes.
c. Remove two screws retaining end bell.
d. Carefully pull rear end bell and bearing assembly from
rotor, while holding magnet in place against front end bell.
Make sure rotor remains in place inside motor as rear end bell
is removed. If necessary, push rear end of shaft with a pencil
point or similar object as rear end bell and bearing are
removed.
5-39.CORRECTION OF STICKING MOTOR BRUSHES
5-40. The most common cause of a sticking motor brush is an
interference between the motor body and the brush lead wire,
preventing the brush from moving downward. By carefully
repositioning the lead, the brush can be freed. Other possible
causes of a sticking brush are burrs in its holes or an
accumulation of foreign matter. I either of these is the cause,
the motor will have to be removed and cleaned or replaced.
5-41. Y-AXIS RESTRINGING
5-42. To restring, using Y-axis cable assembly, Part No.
07035-61420, perform the following procedure:
a. Remove rear hood and platen. See paragraph 5-18.
b. Remove carriage arm and pen block. See
paragraphs 5-20 and 5-22.
c. Attach free end of tension spring to the hook on pen
block. Insert knotted end of new nylon cord assembly in
groove of pen block. See Figure 5-10.
e. Blow or brush dust from magnet, rotor, and rear end
bell brush holes. Use an air hose if possible. Be careful not to
lose ball bearing or bearing spacer shims.
f. Replace rear end bell and bearing assembly. Secure
with two long screws removed earlier.
g. Replace two solder lugs in end bell slots and secure
with screws.
h. Install each brush in brush hole making certain that
arc on bottom of brush matches curvature of commutator.
Pigtail leads should rise straight up out of brush hole until
brush springs have been installed. Use a pencil point to adjust
pigtail and to push brush all the way down into brush hole.
i. Swing brush springs back to their original position,
engaging slots on top of brushes and hook rear end of each
spring under tab on terminal lug. Fold pigtails into top of spring
slot so they are below surface of end bell. Solder motor wires
to the correct lugs.
j. Operate recorder. If pen drives into stops instead of
seeking null, motor polarity has been inadvertently reversed.
Reconnect motor wires to opposite terminal lugs.
k. Run recorder through complete performance check.
If brushes are not seating well, apply a 0.3 Hz sine wave to
recorder, adjust to 85% of full scale travel, and let recorder run
for an hour.
FIGURE 5-10. NYLON CABLE (ATTACHMENT TO PEN
BLOCK)
d. Slide pen block into carriage arm. Ensure cable is
between pen block and slidewire. Care should be taken not to
damage wiper.
e. Loop cord around upper and lower pulleys.
f. Reassemble.
g. Make cable tension check. See paragraph 5-65.
5-43. X-AXIS RESTRINGING
5-44. To restring, using X-axis cable assembly, Part No. 5080-
3627, perform the following procedure:
a. Remove rear hood and platen. See paragraph 5-18.
b. Position carriage arm at convenient location and
fasten securely with tape to prevent movement. Remove old
cable.
c. Make small loop in one end of cable and clinch with
cable crimp. See Figure 5-11.

Page 31
FIGURE 5-11. RESTRINGING DIAGRAM
d. Attach loop to center of cable yoke (Point A). Route
cable around right-hand side of cable yoke (Point B), and pass
it in front of cable yoke to pulley C. Continue around pulley C
in a counterclockwise direction to sheave D. Make one
counterclockwise turn around sheave D.
e. If recorder is equipped with a retransmitting
potentiometer (Option 003) follow this step. If not, go on to
step f. From sheave D start cable in center of sheave E. Make
two turns in a counterclockwise direction, passing cable
beneath itself after each turn. After second turn run cable
through the slot on bottom edge of sheave to hole in the
sheave. Run cable through the hole, and under screw and
washer on top of sheave. Tighten screw. Pass cable through

b. Adjust setscrew to minimize sideplay of block with
arm (Adjustment wrench provided in Accessory kit.)
c. Move pen block to upper end of arm so as to align
upper setscrew with notch at upper end of arm. Repeat
operation.
NOTE: Care should be taken not to adjust out all
sideplay. This will cause mechanical drag and
result in a poor trace.
5-72. Y-AXIS ALIGNMENT
5-73. If a vertical pen trace deviates from perpendicular when
compared with correctly aligned paper grids, the carriage arm
should be adjusted as follows:
a. Remove rear hood. See paragraph 5-18.

5-74. X-AXIS CABLE TENSION CHECK/ADJUSTMENT
5-75. The X cable tension should be verified by measuring the
force required to displace it at a given distance. With the arm
at the extreme right, the force required to displace (in a plane
parallel to the control panel and in a direction toward the front
of the unit) the center of the longest span of the cable 1/4 inch
past the vertical wall of the motor assembly trough shall be
between the limits of 15 ounces and 32 ounces. See Figure
5-20. Some adjustment is possible by loosening and
repositioning idler pulleys.
5-76. If adjustment is not possible by moving pulleys, a new
cable must be installed, making sure that at time of installation
the tension is correct. See paragraph 5-44.
5-77.X-AXIS DRIVE BELT TENSION CHECK/
ADJUSTMENT
5-78. The X-axis drive belt tension may be verified by

be between the limits of 20 ounces and 30 ounces. See Figure
5-21.
5-79. If adjustment is necessary:
a. Remove platen and bottom cover. See paragraph
5-18.
b. Slightly loosen two motor mounting screws from
bottom of recorder. See Figure 5-22.
c. Rotate motor in indicated direction until desired
tension attained.

5-91. ELECTRICAL ADJUSTMENTS
5-92. GAIN ADJUSTMENT
5-93. The gain potentiometers are labeled GAIN on the control
panel and are adjustable wit a screwdriver. If gain in X or Y
channel is insufficient (poor retrace) adjust as follows:
a. Connect low frequency Function Generator to X and
Y input terminals. Set up for triangular output wave of 500 mV
pk/pk at 0.1 Hz.
b. Set X RANGE switch to 100 mV/in. (40 mV/cm), Y
RANGE switch to 1V/in. (0.4V/cm).
c. Turn on recorder.
d. Adjust R237 until minimum retrace error exists.
e. Pen speed should not exceed 1 in./sec (0.4 cm/sec).
f. Similarly, set Y RANGE switch to 100 mV/in. (40
mV/cm), X RANGE switch to 1V/in. (0.4V/cm).
g. Adjust R137 for optimum retrace at 1 in./sec (0.4
cm/sec).
5-94. CALIBRATION ADJUSTMENT
5-95. If recalibration adjustment is required to accommodate
various graph papers, etc., perform the following procedure:
a. Connect DC Standard to X input terminals.
b. Set RANGE switch to 100 mV/in. (40 mV/cm).
c. Adjust ZERO controls to position pen exactly at zero.
d. Apply 1.0 Vdc (1.25V) signal to X input terminals.
e. Adjust R226 to position pen to full scale.
5-14
Page 39
f. Remove signal from X input terminals.
g. Apply 0.7 Vdc (0.9 Vdc) to Y input terminals.
h. Adjust R126 to position pen to full scale.
i. In the event full scale cannot be reached by using
calibration controls, check electronic reference for output of 9.0
volts ±5%.
5-96. PHASE SHIFT ADJUSTMENT
5-97. Assuming both X and Y axes have been adjusted by
means of the retrace curves described in paragraph 5-91, the
attenuator switches may be set to identical values in both X
and Y to produce a straight line of 45 degree angle. If the
retrace test made on X and Y demonstrates zero trace, the gap
which appears in the 45 degree retrace line will be due to a
phase difference or time lag between the two recording axes.
Phase adjust is accomplished by adjusting R114. Access to
R114 is obtained by removing bottom cover. See
paragraph 5-18 and Figure 5-24.

4-6A.PEN SYSTEM
4-6B.The pen assembly consists of a drum type
reservoir resting in a pivot mount which moves along
the carriage arm. A rigid capillary tube feedline leads
from the reservoir to the pen point. Because of the
capillary process, rack mounted (vertical) models
write equally well as the table models. The pen
should never be allowed to run dry.
ink stops flowing. Pen assemblies should be cleaned
thoroughly every two to four weeks. Clean by soaking
in alcohol or hot water. Clogging during operation
may be cleared by one or more of the following steps:
a. Using the furnished syringe, apply air pressure to
the reservoir's ink filler hole.
b. Soak pen assembly in alcohol or hot water.
c. Internally clean tip by inserting the stiff wire
supplied in accessory kit.
d. Prior to extended storage, flush and clean pen.

5-18A. PEN MAINTENANCE
5-18B. Pen writing failures may be caused by dried
ink, sediment, air bubbles in feed line, or general
neglect. Dirt and ink sediment cause the most
difficulty. Dried ink forms brittle crust particles which,
together with dirt, build up in the supply line until the
