General Safety Considerations

WARNING Before this instrument is switched on, make sure it has been properly

grounded through the protective conductor of the ac power cable to a socket outlet provided with protective earth contact.

Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor, inside or outside the instrument, or disconnection of the protective earth terminal can result in personal injury.

WARNING There are many points in the instrument which can, if contacted,

cause personal injury. Be extremely careful. Any adjustments or service procedures that require operation of the

instrument with protective covers removed should be performed only by trained service personnel.

CAUTION Before this instrument is switched on, make sure its primary power circuitry

has been adapted to the voltage of the ac power source. Failure to set the ac power input to the correct voltage could cause damage to

the instrument when the ac power cable is plugged in.

Using this Adjustment Procedure Supplement

Introduction

The HP 3335A Synthesizer Level Generator signal source has become obsolete because parts used in the manufacture of this instrument are no longer available from suppliers. To meet the needs of our customers, HP has created new performance veriﬁcation tests and adjustment tests that use alternative signal sources.

The calibration and service guides are being revised to add additional procedures that do not use the HP 3335A. The changes include the addition of signal sources required to replace the 3335A, changes to the test equipment setup illustrations, and changes in the steps required to execute the procedures.

Because all of our customers will not need to replace the HP 3335A immediately, we are releasing the changes to the calibration guide and service guides in the form of two manual supplements. HP is making these procedure revisions available at this time in electronic form, only. You can download this manual supplement, and add it to your current manual as needed. You will not be required to replace your manuals just to incorporate these changes. These changes will be incorporated in new manuals shipped in the future.

To add these changes to your existing manuals, refer to “Implementation Instructions,” on

page 3.

Implementation Instructions

Update your service guide by performing the following steps:

Step 1. After downloading this supplement, print a hard copy of the entire document. Step 2. Remove page 2-1 through 2-10 from your service guide. Step 3. Cross out Table 2-5, “Required Test Equipment for TAM,” on page 2-11. Step 4. Insert page 2-1 through 2-12 from the supplement into the service guide. Step 5. Remove the adjustment procedure chapter from the supplement, and insert it

into your service guide as Chapter 2a, “Manual Adjustment Procedures:

HP 3335A Source not Available,” immediately after Chapter 2.

Adjustment Procedures

Introduction

This chapter contains information on automated and manual adjustment procedures. Perform the automated procedures using the HP 85629B test and adjustment module (TAM). Adjustments should be performed after a repair or performance test failure, never perform adjustments as routine maintenance. Refer to Table 2-1 to for which adjustments to perform.

Safety Considerations

Although this instrument has been designed in accordance with international safety standards, this manual contains information, cautions, and warnings which must be followed to ensure safe operation and to prevent damage to the instrument. Service and adjustments should be performed only by qualiﬁed service personnel.

WARNING

Adjustment Procedures

Introduction

• These servicing instructions are for use by qualiﬁed personnel only. To avoid electrical shock, do not perform any servicing unless you are qualiﬁed to do so.

• The opening of covers or removal of parts is likely to expose dangerous voltages. Disconnect the product from all voltage sources while it is being opened.

• Adjustments in this section are performed with power supplied to the instrument and protective covers removed. There are voltages at many points in the instrument which can, if contacted, cause personal injury. Be extremely careful. Adjustments should be performed only by trained service personnel.

• Power is still applied to this instrument with the off position. Before removing or installing any assembly or printed circuit board, remove the line-power cord.

• The power cord is connected to internal capacitors inside that may remain live for 5 seconds after the instrument has been disconnected from its source of supply.

• Use a nonmetallic adjustment tool whenever possible.

Which Adjustments Should Be Performed?

Table 2-1 lists the manual adjustments that should be performed when an assembly is

repaired or changed. It is important to perform the adjustments in the order indicated to ensure that the instrument meets its speciﬁcations.

Chapter 2a, “Manual Adjustment Procedures: HP 3335A Source not Available,” provides

instructions and procedures for making adjustments when the HP 3335A Synthesizer Level Generator is not available. If the HP 3335A is not available, substitute those procedures for the procedures of the same number and name found in this chapter.

Test Equipment

The equipment required for the manual adjustment procedures is listed in Table 1-4, “Recommended Test Equipment.” Any equipment that satisﬁes the critical speciﬁcations given in the table may be substituted for the preferred test equipment.

Adjustable and Factory-Selected Components

Table 2-2 lists the adjustable components by reference designation and name. For each

component, the table provides a description and lists the adjustment number. Refer to Table 2-3 for a complete list of factory-selected components used in the instrument

along with their functions. Factory-selected components are identiﬁed with an asterisk on the schematic diagrams.
