HP 8673C/D Safety Considerations
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
GENERAL
This product and related documentation must be
reviewed for familiarization with safety markings
and instructions before operation.
This product is a Safety Class I instrument (pro-
vided with a protective earth terminal).
BEFORE APPLYING POWER
Verify that the product is set to match the available line voltage and the correct fuse is installed.
SAFETY EARTH GROUND
An uninterruptible safety earth ground must be
provided from the main power source to the product input wiring terminals, power cord, or sup
plied power cord set.
Any interruption of the protective (grounding)
conductor (inside or outside the instrument) or
disconnecting the protective earth terminal will
cause a potential shock hazard that could result in
personal injury. (Grounding one conductor of a
two conductor outlet is not sufficient protection.)
In addition, verify that a common ground exists
between the unit under test and this instrument
prior to energizing either unit.
Whenever it is likely that the protection has been
impaired, the instrument must be made inoperative
and be secured against any unintended operation.
If this instrument is to be energized via an auto-
transformer (for voltage reduction) make sure the
common terminal is connected to neutral (that is,
the grounded side of the mains supply).
Servicing instructions are for use by servicetrained personnel only. To avoid dangerous electric shock, do not perform any servicing unless
qualified to do so.
Adjustments described in the manual are performed with power supplied to the instrument
while protective covers are removed. Energy available at many points may, if contacted, result in
personal injury.
Capacitors inside the instrument may still be
charged even if the instrument has been discon-
nected from its source of supply.
For continued protection against fire hazard, re-
place the line fuse(s) only with 250V fuse(s) of the
same current rating and type (for example, normal
blow, time delay, etc.). Do not use repaired fuses or
short circuited fuseholders.
SAFETY SYMBOLS
Instruction manual symbol: the product
will be marked with this symbol when it is
necessary for the user to refer to the instruction manual (see Table of Contents for
page references).
Indicates hazardous voltages.
Indicates earth (ground) terminal.
The WARNING sign denotes a
hazard. It calls attention to a
procedure, practice, or the like,
which, if not correctly performed
or adhered to, could result in personal injury. Do not proceed beyond a WARNING sign until the
indicated conditions are fully
understood and met.
The CAUTION sign denotes a
hazard. It calls attention to an
operating procedure, practice, or
the like, which, if not correctly
performed or adhered to, could
result in damage to or destruction of part or all of the product.
Do not proceed beyond a CAUTION sign until the indicated
conditions are fully understood
and met.

General Information
SECTION I
GENERAL INFORMATION
l-l. INTRODUCTlON
This manual contains information required to
install, operate, test, adjust and service the HP
8673C/D Synthesized Signal Generators. Figure
1-I shows an 8673D Signal Generator with all of
its externally supplied accessories.
The 8673C/D Operating and Service manual is
divided into two volumes and eight sections as
follows:
Volume 1 (Operating Information):
Section I, General Information
Section II, Installation
Section III, Operation
Section IV, Part 1
Operation Verification
Volume 2 (Service Information)
Section IV, Part 2
Performance Tests
Section
V,
Adjustments
Section VI, Replaceable Parts
Section VII, Manual Changes
Section VIII, Service
The 8673C/D 10 MHz Reference Oscillator A3A8,
is a field repairable component. A separate operat-
ing and service manual, HP Part No. 10811-90002,
is provided for this assembly and should be retained with the 8673C/D manual.
In addition, the following manuals are supplied
with the Signal Generator:
Volume 1 (two copies)
Volume 2 (one copy)
One copy of Volume 1 (Operating Information)
should remain with the instrument for use by the
operator. Additional copies of either volume can
be ordered separately through your nearest
Hewlett-Packard office. The part number is listed
on the title page of each volume.
Also listed on the title page of this volume, below
the manual part number, is a microfiche part
number. This number may be used to order 100 x
150 millimetre (4 x 6 inch) microfilm transparencies of the complete operating and service manual
(Volumes 1 and 2). Each microfiche contains up to
96 photo-duplicates of the manual pages, The
microfiche package also includes the latest Man-
ual Changes supplement, as well as all pertinent
Service Notes.
l-2. SPEClFlCATlONS
Instrument specifications are listed in Table l-l.
These specifications are the performance standards or limits against which the instrument may
be tested, Supplemental characteristics are listed
in Table 1-2. Supplemental charactsristics are not
warranted specifications, but are typical characteristics included as additional information for
the user.
1-3. SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
This product is a Safety Class I instrument, that
is, one provided with a protective earth terminal.
The Signal Generator and all related documentation should be reviewed for familiarization with
safety markings and instructions before operation. Refer to the Safety Considerations page
found at the beginning of this manual for a summary of the safety information. Safety information for installation, operation, performance testing, adjustment, or service is found in appropriate
places throughout this manual.
1-4. INSTRUMENTS COVERED BY THIS
MANUAL
Attached to the rear panel of the instrument is a
serial number plate. The serial number is in the
form: OOOOAOOOOO. The first four digits and the
letter are the serial number prefix. The last five
digits are the suffix. The prefix is the same for
identical instruments; it changes only when a configuration change is made to the instrument. The
suffix, however is assigned sequentially and is
different for each instrument. The contents of this
manual apply directly to instruments having the
serial number prefix(es) listed under SERIAL
NUMBERS on the title page.
1-5. MANUAL CHANGES SUPPLEMENT
An instrument manufactured after the printing of
this manual may have a serial number prefix that
is not listed on the title page. This unlisted serial
number prehx indicates that the instrument is different from those documented in this manual. The
