Operation and
Programming Manual

Note: All specifications are subject to change without notice.

ATTENTION
The product that you have purchased requires three AA Type (Non-rechargeable Mn) batteries. These batteries are recyclable. At the
end o their use ul li e, under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose o these batteries into the municipal waste system.
Check with your local solid waste o icials or details concerning recycling options or proper disposal
.
It is recommended that the batteries are changed every 12 months.
WARNING
This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio inter erence in which case the user may be required
to take adequate measures.
CAUTION
Risk o explosion i batteries are replaced by an incorrect type. dispose o used batteries according to the instructions.

Precaution Statements
Follow these sa ety, servicing and ESD precautions to prevent damage and to protect against potential hazards
such as electrical shock.
1-1 Safety Precautions
1. Be sure that all built-in protective devices are
replaced. Restore any missing protective
shields.
2. When reinstalling the chassis and its
assemblies, be sure to restore all protective
devices, including non-metallic control knobs
and compartment covers.
3. Make sure there are no cabinet openings
through which people - particularly children -
might insert ingers and contact dangerous
voltages. Such openings include excessively
wide cabinet ventilation slots and improperly
itted covers and drawers.
4. Design Alteration Warning:
Never alter or add to the mechanical or
electrical design o the SECR. Unauthorized
alterations might create a sa ety hazard. Also,
any design changes or additions will void the
manu acturer’s warranty.
5. Components, parts and wiring that appear to
have overheated or that are otherwise
damaged should be replaced with parts that
meet the original speci ications. Always
determine the cause o damage or over-
heating, and correct any potential hazards.
6. Observe the original lead dress, especially
near the ollowing areas: sharp edges, and
especially the AC and high voltage supplies.
Always inspect or pinched, out-o -place, or
rayed wiring. Do not change the spacing
between components and the printed circuit
board. Check the AC power cord or damage.
Make sure that leads and components do not
touch thermally hot parts.
7. Product Sa ety Notice:
Some electrical and mechanical parts have
special sa ety-related characteristics that
might not be obvious rom visual inspection.
These sa ety eatures and the protection they
give might be lost i the replacement
component di ers rom the original - even i
the replacement is rated or higher voltage,
wattage, etc.
Components that are critical or sa ety are
indicated in the circuit diagram by shading,
() or ( ). Use replacement components
that have the same ratings, especially or
lame resistance and dielectric strength
speci ications. A replacement part that does
not have the same sa ety characteristics as
the original might create shock, ire or other
hazards.
CA TION
There is the danger o explosion i batteries are
incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type
recommended by the manu acturer.
Dispose used batteries according to the
manu acturer’s instructions.
ATTENTION
ll y a danger d’explosion s’il y a remplacement
incorrect de la batterie.
Remplacer uniquement avec une batterie du même
type ou d’un type équivalent recommandé par le
constructeur.
Mettre au rebut les batteries usagées
con ormément aux instructions du abricant.

1-2 Servicing Precautions
WARNING: First read the-Sa ety Precautions-section. I some un oreseen circumstance creates a con lict
between the servicing and sa ety precautions, always ollow the sa ety precautions.
WARNING: An electrolytic capacitor installed with the wrong polarity might explode.
1. Servicing precautions are printed on the
cabinet. Follow them.
2. Always unplug the units AC power cord rom
the AC power source be ore attempting to:
(a) Remove or reinstall any component or
assembly (b) Disconnect an electrical plug or
connector (c) Connect a test component in
parallel with an electrolytic capacitor
3. Some components are raised above the
printed circuit board or sa ety. An insulation
tube or tape is sometimes used. The internal
wiring is sometimes clamped to prevent
contact with thermally hot components.
Reinstall all such elements to their original
position.
4. A ter servicing, always check that the screws,
components and wiring have been correctly
reinstalled. Make sure that the portion around
the serviced part has not been damaged.
5. Check the insulation between the blades o the
AC plug and accessible conductive parts
(examples: metal panels and input terminals).
6. Insulation Checking Procedure: Disconnect the
power cord rom the AC source and turn the
power switch ON. Connect an insulation
resistance meter (500V) to the blades o AC
plug.
The insulation resistance between each blade
o the AC plug and accessible conductive parts
(see above) should be greater than 1
megohm.
7. Never de eat any o the B+ voltage interlocks.
Do not apply AC power to the unit (or any o its
assemblies) unless all solid-state heat sinks
are correctly installed.
8. Always connect an instrument’s ground lead to
the instrument chassis ground be ore
connecting the positive lead; always remove
the instrument’s ground lead last.
1-3 Precautions for Electrostatic Sensitive Devices (ESDs)
1. Some semiconductor (solid state) devices are
easily damaged by static electricity. Such
components are called Electrostatic Sensitive
Devices (ESDs); examples include integrated
circuits and some ield-e ect transistors. The
ollowing techniques will reduce the occurrence
o component damage caused by static
electricity.
2. Immediately be ore handling any
semiconductor components or assemblies,
drain the electrostatic charge rom your body
by touching a known earth ground.
Alternatively, wear a discharging wrist-strap
device. (Be sure to remove it prior to applying
power - this is an electric shock precaution.)
3. A ter removing an ESD-equipped assembly,
place it on a conductive sur ace such as
aluminium oil to prevent accumulation o
electrostatic charge.
4. Do not use Freon-propelled chemicals. These
can generate electrical charges that damage
ESDs.
5. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron when
soldering or unsoldering ESDs.
6. Use only an anti-static solder removal device.
Many solder removal devices are not rated as
anti-static; these can accumulate su icient
electrical charge to damage ESDs.
7. Do not remove a replacement ESD rom its
protective package until you are ready to install
it. Most replacement ESDs are packaged with
leads that are electrically shorted together by
conductive oam, aluminium oil or other
conductive materials.
8. Immediately be ore removing the protective
material rom the leads o a replacement ESD,
touch the protective material to the chassis or
circuit assembly into which the device will be
installed.
9. Minimize body motions when handling
unpackaged replacement ESDs. Motions such
as brushing clothes together, or li ting a oot
rom a carpeted loor can generate enough
static electricity to damage an ESD.
