SAFETY
Before connecting the instrument to a power source, care-
fully read the following information, then verify that the
proper power cord is used and the proper line fuse is
installed for power source. The specified voltage is shown
on the rear panel. If the power cord is not applied for
specified voltage, there is always a certain amount of dan-
ger of electric shock.
Line voltage
This instrument operates using ac-power input voltages
that 100/120/220/230 V at frequencies from 50 Hz to
60Hz.
Power cord
The ground wire of the 3-wire AC power plug places the
chassis and housing of the instrument at earth ground. Do
not attempt to defeat the ground wire connection or float
the instrument ; to do so may pose a great safety hazard.
The appropriate power cord is supplied as an option that
is specified when the instrument is ordered.
The optional power cords are shown as follows in Fig.1
Line fuse
The fuse holder is located on the rear panel and contains
the line fuse. Verify that the proper fuse is installed by
replacing the line fuse.
Voltage conversion
This instrument can be operated from 100 to 230V,
50/60Hz power source.
Use the following procedure to change from 100 to 230V
operation or vice versa.
1. Remove the fuse holder.
2. Replace fuse F1 with a fuse of appropriate value.
3. Reinsert it for appropriate voltage range.
4. When performing the reinsertion of fuse holder for the
voltage conversion, the appropriate power cord should
be used. (See fig.1)

General
This AC voltmeter is combined with Meter unit and Control
unit. Meter unit switch to different range according to the
remote control signal and display the result to the meter.
Control unit will output the remote control signal according to
the output of the Meter unit.
Description of Functional Circuits
Meter Unit
1) First Attenuator
It is the attenuator based on the resistance dividing method,
and its two-staged attenuation volume-one is 0dB(the range
between 10µV and 300mV),and the other is –60dB is con-
verted by a relay.
2) Impedance Conversion Circuit
It is the circuit to convert the signals from the first-stage
attenuator into a fully low impedance in order to send it to
the second-stage attenuator (1mV–300V) .
3) Second Attenuator
A resistance divider act as a attenuator. The amount of
attenuation is switch in two steps by relay contacts:0dB and
–30dB.
4) Third Attenuator
A resistance divider network acts as an attenuator. The
amount of attenuation is switched in four steps by a FET
switch:0dB, –10dB, –20dB and –30dB.
5) Main Amplifier
A wideband, non-inverting differential amplifier acts as a
main amplifier, which has high input impedance, Iow output
impedance and 20-fold gain. This output signal level is
20mVrms for the full scale read on the Meter .
6) Output Amplifier
A widehand, non-inverting differential amplifier acts as an
output amplifier, which has 50-fold gain and 600Ωoutput
impedance. The output signal level is 1Vrms for full-scale
read on the Meter, and works stable even for cpacitive
loads.
7) Absolute-Mean Valve Detector
An absolute-mean value detector comprised of a high
through-rate and high gain amplifier. Which has a very good
linearity by negative feedback from the current flowing
through the Meter load. In switching, this provides a suffi-
ciently wide frequency band so that the high frequency
phase compensation circuit is reset.
8) Attenuator Control
A logic control circuit comprised of a diode matrix and output
buffer transistors. This encodes a 12-bit signal from the
Decoder on the control board to a 6-bit signals, which con-
trol the First, Second and Third Attenuators. The remote
control connector is connected to this circuit.
9) Power Supply
The power source circuit supply ±5V DC from the AC input,
which contain a silicon diode bridge for full-wave rectifica-
tion, high-capacitance electrolytic capacitors for smoothing,
and an IC regulator stabilization.
Control Unit
1) Pre-Amplifier
A wideband, non-inverting differential amplifier act as a pre-
amplifier. Which has 50-fold gain and the purpose is to
buffer the signal from meter unit and then driving the two
rectifier circuit.
2) Rectifier
Two transistors to from a full wave rectifier.
3) DC Output Circuit
A non-inverting operational amplifier act as a DC output dri-
ver with 1V full scale voltage. The output impedance is
600Ω.
4) Peak Hold Regulation Circuit
Two transistors to from a full wave rectifier, and the peak
voltage is held by a smoothing capacitor.
5) Discharge Circuit
The peak voltage mention above will be discharge by a tran-
sistor frequently with a constant period.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
6) Differentiator
The oscillator output will pass through a RC differentiator
and then active the discharge circuit.
7) Up Comparator
The Up comparator will output a Up pulse when the output
of the peak hold regulation circuit is higher than the high ref-
erence voltage.
8) Down Comparator
The Down comparator will output a Down pulse when the
output of the peak hold regulation circuit is higher than the
low reference voltage.
9) Oscillator
The oscillator will generate a pulse for each 60msec, and
the pulse is use for the discharge circuit and the both
Up/Down comparator.
10) Up/Down Counter
The pulse from the UP/Down pulse control gate circuit will
trigger the Up/Down counter, and which output design the
attenuation range of the meter board.
11) Decoder
This decoder convert the 4-bit binary code from the
Up/Down counter to a 12-bit control signal which drive the
attenuator control on the meter board.
12) Up/Down Pulse Control Gate Circuit
The Up/Down pulse output from this circuit is depended on
the Mode switch. Under Hold mode, the output pulse are
generate from the Up/Down switch. On the other hand,
when under Auto mode, the output pulse are generate from
the Up/Down comparator and the Up/Down can over right
the Up/Down comparator.

300mV range VR102
(Unless otherwise specified, the above connection should be used as to the follow-
ing items.)
RANGE: 300 mV
1) Input 1 kHz (or 400 Hz), 300 mVrms sine wave, and set the pointer to 3.0 of the
0-3 scale. Check that the variable range is less than 98% and more than 102%
with respect to 3.0 (full-scale).
2) Waveforms shown on the oscilloscope shall not be deformed.
To obtain the best performance, periodically calibrate the
unit. Sometimes, only one mode need to be calibrated, while
at other times, all modes should be calibrated. When one
mode is calibrated, it must be noted that the other modes
may be affected. When calibrating all modes, perform the
calibration in the specified sequence.
The following calibration requires an accurate measuring
instrument and an insulated adjusting flat blade screwdriver.
If they are not available, contact your dealer. For optimum
adjustment, turn the power on and warm up the scope suffi-
ciently (more than 30 minutes) before starting.
Before calibrating the unit, check the power supply voltage.
TEST EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
The following instrument or their equivalent should be used
for making adjustment.
