Safety Summary
The following safety precautions apply to both operating
and maintenance personnel and must be observed
during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this
instrument. Before applying power, follow the installation
instructions and become familiar with the operating
instructions for this instrument.
If this device is damaged or something is missing,
contact the place of purchase immediately.
This manual contains information and warnings that
must be followed to ensure safe operation as well as
maintain the meter in a safe condition.
GROUND THE INSTRUMENT
To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis and
cabinet must be connected to an electrical ground. This
instrument is grounded through the ground conductor of
the supplied, three-conductor ac power cable. The
power cable must be plugged into an approved three-
conductor electrical outlet. Do not alter the ground
connection. Without the protective ground connection,
all accessible conductive parts (including control knobs)
can render an electric shock. The power jack and
mating plug of the power cable must meet IEC safety
standards.
DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE
ATMOSPHERE
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of
flammable gases or fumes. Operation of any electrical
instrument in such an environment constitutes a definite
safety hazard.
KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS
Instrument covers must not be removed by operating
personnel. Component replacement and internal

adjustments must be made by qualified maintenance
personnel. Disconnect the power cord before removing
the instrument covers and replacing components.
Under certain conditions, even with the power cable
removed, dangerous voltages may exist. To avoid
injuries, always disconnect power and discharge circuits
before touching them.
DO NOT SERVICE OR ADJUST ALONE
Do not attempt any internal service or adjustment unless
another person, capable of rendering first aid and
resuscitation, is present.
DO NOT SUBSTITUTE PARTS OR MODIFY THE
INSTRUMENT
Do not install substitute parts or perform any
unauthorized modifications to this instrument. Return
the instrument to B&K Precision for service and repair to
ensure that safety features are maintained.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
WARNING and CAUTION statements, such as the
following examples, denote a hazard and appear
throughout this manual. Follow all instructions
contained in these statements.
A WARNING statement calls attention to an operating
procedure, practice, or condition, which, if not followed
correctly, could result in injury or death to personnel.
A CAUTION statement calls attention to an operating
procedure, practice, or condition, which, if not followed
correctly, could result in damage to or destruction of part
or all of the product.
WARNING:
Do not alter the ground connection. Without the
protective
ground connection, all accessible
conductive parts (including control knobs) can
render an electric shock. The power jack and mating
plug of the power cable meet IEC safety standards.

WARNING:
To avoid electrical shock hazard, disconnect power
cord before removing covers. Refer servicing to
qualified personnel.
CAUTION:
Before connecting the line cord to the AC mains,
check the rear panel AC line voltage indicator.
Applying a line voltage other than the indicated
voltage can destroy the AC line fuses. For continued
fire protection, replace fuses only with those of the
specified voltage and current ratings.
CAUTION:
This product uses components which can be
damaged by electro
-
static discharge (ESD). To avoid
damage, be sure to follow proper procedures for
handling, storing and transporting parts and
subassemblies which contain ESD
-
sensitive
components.

1 Introduction
1.1 Introduction
This manual contains information required to operate the
B&K Precision model 4045B Arbitrary Function
Generator. This section covers the instrument’s general
description, specifications, and characteristics.
1.2 Description
The 4045B is a versatile high performance function
generators with arbitrary capabilities. Implemented using
a DDS (direct digital synthesis) architecture, these
instruments generate stable and precise sine, square,
triangle and arbitrary waveforms. The unit also provides
linear and logarithmic sweep for users needing sweep
capability. An auxiliary TTL output at the generator’s set
frequency is available to synchronize external devices.
The instrument can also be remotely operated via the
USB interface and is SCPI compatible.

2 Installation
2.1 Introduction
This section contains installation information, power
requirements, initial inspection and signal connections for
the 4045B signal generator.
2.2 Package Contents
Please inspect the instrument mechanically and
electrically upon receiving it. Unpack all items from the
shipping carton, and check for any obvious signs of
physical damage that may have occurred during
transportation. Report any damage to the shipping agent
immediately. Save the original packing carton for
possible future reshipment. Every generator is shipped
with the following contents:
•4045B DDS function generator
•AC Power Cord
•USB (type A to B) interface cable
•Manual contained on CD
•Certificate of Calibration

19
Verify that all items above are included in the shipping
container. If anything is missing, please contact B&K
Precision.
2.3 Instrument Mounting
The 4045B Arbitrary Function Generator is intended for
bench use. The instrument includes a front feet tilt
mechanism for optimum panel viewing angle. The
instrument does not require special cooling when
operated within conventional temperature limits. It may
be installed in a closed rack or test station if proper air
flow can assure removing about 15 W of power
dissipation.
2.4 Power Requirements
The 4045B can be operated from any source of 90V to
264V AC, frequency from 48Hz to 66Hz. The maximum
power consumption is 30VA. Use a slow blow fuse of 1A,
UL/CSA approved as indicated on the rear panel of the
instrument.
The instrument power fuse is located in the AC input
plug. To access the fuse, first disconnect the power
cord and then remove the fuse box.

2.5 Fuse Replacement
There is a 1A, 250V rated slow blow fuse at the AC input.
Should the fuse ever get blown, follow the steps below to
replace:
1. Locate the fuse box next to the AC input connector in
the rear panel.
2. With a small flat blade screwdriver, insert into the fuse
box slit to pull and slide out the fuse box as indicated
below.
3. Check and replace fuse if necessary.
2.6 Grounding Requirements
For the safety of operating personnel, the instrument
must be grounded. The central pin on the AC plug
grounds the instrument when properly connected to the
ground wire and plugged into proper receptacle.
