INSTALLATION

2-9. THREE-CONDUCTOR POWER CABLE.

2-10. To protect operating personnel, the National

Electrical Manufacturers’ Association (NEMA) recommends that the instrument panel and cabinet be grounded.

All Hewlett-Packard instruments are equipped with a three-conductor power cable which grounds the instrument when plugged into an appropriate receptacle.

2-11. To preserve the protection feature when operating ihe instrument from a two-contact outlet, use three - prong to two - prong adapter and connect the green pigtail on the adapter to ground.

2-12. PRIMARY POWER REQUIREMENTS.

2-13. The Modei 410C can be operated from either

115 or 230 volts, 50 to 1000 cps. The instrument can be easily converted from i 15- to 230- volt operation.

The LINE VOLTAGE switch, S4 a two-position slide switch located at the rear of the instrument, selects the mode of AC operation. The line voltage from which the instrument is set to operate appears on the siider of the switch. A 0.25-ampere, slo-blo fuse is used for both 115- and 230-volt operation.

AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT (Figure 3-4).

3-1. INTRODUCTION.

3-2. The Model 410C is used to measure AC and DC voltage, DC current, and resistance. All measurement inputs are located on the front panel; a DC output connector is located on the rear panel. Front panel controls and indicators are color coded. DC voltage, DC current and resistance knobs and indicators are in black; AC voltage controls and indicators are in red.

3-3. ADJUSTMENT OF MECHANICAL ZERO.

3-4. The procedure for adjustment of mechanical

zero is given in Section V.

3-5. FRONT AND REAR PANEL DESCRIPTION.

3-6. Figure 3-1 describes the function of all front

and rear panel controls, connectors and indicators .

The description of each control, connector and indicator is keyed to a drawing which accompanies the figure.

3-7. OPERATING PROCEDURES.

3-8. There are five operating procedures: DC Volt-

age Measurements, Figure 3-2; DC Current Measure-

ments, Figure 3-3; AC Voltage Measurements, Fig-

ure 3-4; Resistance Measurements, Figure 3-7; and

Measuring DC Current in Nano-amperes, Figure 3-8.

Note

Ageing of the neon tamps in the chopper assembly can cause a change in chopper frequency which produces a slight oscillatory movement of meter pointer. If this oscillatory movement is observed,

rotate Oac Freq Adj A3R5 (see Paragra-

graph 5-28) in the ccw direction until oscillation of pointer stops.

3-9.

DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS (Figure 3-2).

3-10. The Model 410C is normally floating; however a shorting bar can be connected at the DC AMPLIFIER

OUTPUT connector on the rear panel. When the instrument is floating, the COM Lead should not be connected to voltages greater than 400 volts.

3-11. DC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS (Figure 3-3).

3-12. General instructions for the measurement of

DC current are the same as those given for DC volt-

age measurements, Paragraph 3-9.

DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS IS GROUNDED.

EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE USED IF

DIRECT MEASUREMENT OF POWER

LINE VOLTAGES IS ATTEMPTED. IF

THE GROUND CLIP LEAD IS ACCIDEN-

TALLY CONNECTED TO THE UN-

GROUNDEDSIDE OF THE LINE. SEVERE

DAMAGE TO THE 410C IS POSSIBLE

BECAUSE OF THE SHORT CIRCUIT

CREATED.

POWER LINE’ VOLTAGES

CAN BE SAFELY MEASURED BY USING

THE PROBE TIP ONLY. CONTACTING

THE GROUNDED POWER CONDUCTOR

WILL GIVE A READING OF 0 VOLTS

WHILE CONTACTING THE UN-

GROUNDED LEAD WILL GIVE FULL

VOLTAGE READING.

3-14.

Although the Model 410C indicates a full scale

AC range of 500 volts, the optional Model 11036A AC

Probe should not be connected to AC voltages in excess of 300 volts RMS. AC voltage referenced to a

DC voltage may be measured, but the AC Probe clip

(alligator type) must be connected to the ground of the circuit under test.

WHEN MEASURING AC REFERENCED

TO DC, THE PEAK AC VOLTAGE PLUS

DC VOLTAGE CONNECTED TO TRE

PROBE MUST NOT EXCEED 420 VOLTS.

3-15. PRECAUTION WHEN MEASURING AC VOLT-

A G E .

3-16. Special considerations must be kept in mind when making AC voltage measurements. These con-

siderations are discussed in the following paragraphs.

3-17. GENERAL CONSIDERATION OF COMPLEX

WAVEFORMS.

Waveforms containing appreciable harmonics or spurious voltages will introduce error in the meter indication since the meter has been calibrated to read RMS values of true sine waves while the Model 11036A Probe is a peak-above-average responding device.. The magnitude of error that may be expected when harmonics are present on the mea-

sured waveform is indicated in Table 3-1.

3-19. VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT AT HIGH FRE-

QUENCIES. At frequencies above 100 megacycles the distance between the point of voltage measurement and anode of the probe diode must be made as short as possible. If feasible, substitute a small disc type capacitor of approximately 50 picofarsds for the removable tip on the probe. Solder one terminal of the button capacitor to the measurement point in the circuit and not to the probe contact. The probe contact ( with tip removed ) can then contact the other terminal of the capacitor for the measurement.

3-20. At frequencies above 100 megacycles considerable voltage may be built up across ground leads and along various part of a grounding piane.

Consequently, to avoid erroneous readings when measuring medium and high frequency circuits, use the ground clip lead on the shell of the probe to connect the circuit ground. In some cases at the higher frequencies it maybe necessary to shorten the grounding lead on the probe.

3-21. For all measurements at higher frequencies, hold the molded nose of the probe as far from the external ground piane or from object at ground potential as can conveniently be done. Under typical conditions, this practice will keep the input capacitance several tenths of a picofarad lower than otherwise.

3-22. For measurements above approximately 250 megacycles it is almost mandatory that measurements be made on voltages which are confined to coaxial transmission iine circuits. For applications of this type, the Model 11036A Probe is particularly suitable because the physical configuration of the diode and probe is that of a concentric line, and with a few precautions it can be connected to typical coaxial transmission line circuits with little difficulty.

O connect the probe into an existing coaxial transmission line, cut the line away so the center conductor of the line is exposed through a hole large enough to clear the body of the probe. The nose of the probe should be removed for this type of measurement.

Connect one terminal of a button-type capacitor of approximately 50 picofarads to the center conductor of the coaxial line so that the other terminal of the oapacitor will contact the anode connection of the probe.

A close-fitting metal shield or bushing should be arranged to ground the outer cylinder of the probe to the outer conductor of the transmission line.

This type of connection is likely to cause some increase in the standing wave ratio of the line at higher frequencies.

The Model 11042A Probe T Connector is designed to do this job with SWR or less than 1.1 at 500 Mc (see

Paragraph 1-11).

3-24. EFFECT OF PARASITIC ON VOLTAGE

READINGS .

At frequencies above 500 megacycles, leads or portions of circuits often resonate at frequencies two, three, or four times the fundamental

Of the voltage being measured. These harmonics may cause serious errors in the meter reading. Owning to the resonant rise in the probe circuit at frequencies above 1000 megacycles, the meter may be more sensitive to the harmonics than to the fundamental. To make dependable measurements at these frequencies, the circuits being measured must be free of ail parasitics.

3-25. EFFECT OF DC PRESENT WITH AC SIGNAL.

When measuring an AC signal at a point where there is a high DC potential, such as at the plate of a vacuum tube, the high DC potential may cause small leakage current through the blocking capacitor in the tip of the

Model 11036A AC Probe. When the AC signal under measurement is small, the error introduced into the reading can bes significant. To avoid leakage, an additional capacitor with a dielectric such as mylar or polystyrene which has high resistance to leakage is required. (Use 5 picofarads or higher, and insert the capacitor between the point of measurement and the probe tip.)

3-26. PULSE MEASUREMENTS

3-27. POSITIVE PULSES. The Model 11036A AC Probe is peak-above-average responding and clamps the positive peak value of the applied voltage. This permits the probe to be used to measure the positivevoltage amplitude of a pulse, provided the reading obtained is multiplied by a factor determined from the following expression: t

K is approximately 0. The expression would then reduce to

3-30. It can be seen that in the case of negative pulses of short duration much smaller readings will be obtained for an equivalent positive pulse. As a result, large multiplying factors must be used and unless the pulse voltage is large, these measurements may be impractical.

THEORY OF OPERATION

4-1.

OVERALL DESCRIPTION.

4-2.

The Model 410C includes an input network, a modulator - amplifier- demodulator, and a meter circuit. A block diagram of the Model 410C is shown

in Figure 4-1.

4-3. Signals to be measured are applied through the appropriate input lead to the input network. AC voltages are detected in the AC probe, and therefore all signals to the input network are DC. The input network attenuates the DC signal to a level determined by RANGE and FUNCTION SELECTOR settings. The attenuated DC voltage is applied to the modulator which converts the DC to AC for amplification. The amplified AC signal is converted back to DC voltage inthe demodulator and coupled to cathode follower VIB. The cathode follower output to the DC AMPLIFIER OUT-

PUT connector and meter circuit is a DC voltage proportional to the amplitude of the signal applied to the input. A portion of the voltage to the meter circuit is returned to the modulator as feedback. When the feedback voltage and attenuated DC voltage are nearly equal, the meter stabilizes.

4-4. CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION.

4-5. INPUT NETWORK.

4-6. The input network includes a precision voltage divider, which by means of the FUNCTION SELECTOR and RANGE switches, providesa maximum of 15 millivolts at the modulator input regardless of the range set and signal applied. The ± DCA, ±DCV, OHMS, and

ACV modes of operation are discussed below.

4-7. DC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS: Refer to Figure 4-3, throughout this explanation. The purpose of

the input network is to provide proper attenuation of currents applied.

Currents from 1.5 µa to 150 ma full scale are applied with input impedance decreasing from 9K ohms on the 1.5 µa range to approximately

0.3 ohms on the 150 ma range.

4-6. Tbe change in input impedance is varied by using

DC current shunts in conjunction with RANGE switch

A2S2. The DC voltage developed across these shunt resistors, when applied through the modulator-amplifier-demodulator network to the meter, provide a deflection on the meter proportional to the DC current being measured.

4-9. DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS.

R e f e r t o

Figure 4-4 throughout this explanation. The purpose

of the input network is to accurately attenuate the input signal to a maximum of 15 millivolts at the modu-

01556-2 later input. The network presents an input impedance of 10 megohms on the three most sensitive ranges and

100 megohms on all other ranges.

4-10. The resistor R1 (located in the DCV probe) in conjunction with resistors A2R10 through A2R26, provides the 10 megohm input impedance required for the three most sensitive DCV ranges. Resistors A2R4 and A3R30 are shunted out of the circuit by the RANGE switch on the three most sensitive DCV ranges.

4-11. When using the eight less sensitive ranges,

A2R4 and A3R30 are placed in series with Rl and

A2R10 through A2R26 to present more than 100 megohm impedance to the input.

4-12. A3R30 is used to calibrate full scale on the

1500 volt range. (See Paragraph 5-35. )

4-13. RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS. The purpose

of the input network shown in Figure 4-5 is to place

approximately 0. 6 volt DC source in series with a known (reference) resistance. The resistance to be measured is ptaced in parallel with the known resistance, which changes the voltage proportionally. The maximum changes in voltage applied to the modulator is 15 mv because of attenuation provided by A2R4,

A3R30, and A1R2.

4-14.

A DC current of approximately 60 ma is supplied at the junction of A2R22 and A2R23 through

A7R10, R2, A2R2 and A2R1 to the input network. The

OHMS ADJ., R3, sets the meter for full scale

Resistor A2R1 is shorted out in the XIM position of the RANGE switch; resistors A2R1 and A2R2 are shorted out in the X10M range. The resistors A2R2 and/or A2R1 are electrically removed from the circuit to increase the voltage at the junction of A2R22 and A2R23. This is done to compensate for tbe loading of the attenuator (A2R4, A3R30, and A1R2) on these ranges.

4-15.

AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS. Refer to

Figure 4-6 throughout this explanation. Voltage at

the AC probe is converted to DC and applied to the input network. The input signal is attenuated to produce a maximum of about 15 millivolts at the modulator input .

AC zero adjustment of meter pointer is made with the AC ‘ZERO control.

4-16. MODULATOR-DEMODULATOR.

4-17. Refer to the Amplifier Schematic, Figure 5-10 ,

and to the Mechanical Analogy Schematic,

Figure

4-2 throughout this explanation.

4-18. The input network applies approximately 15 millivolts DC, for full scale meter deflection (positive or negative, depending on the polarity of the

4-1

TM 11-6625-1614-15

Section IV

Paragraphs 4-19 to 4-31

voltage or current being measured) to the neon-photoconductor chopper. Also applied to the opposite side of the chopper is the amplifier feedback voltage, which is of the same polarity and approximately 5 microvolts lower in amplitude than the input voltage. The modulator-chopper consists of two photoconductors,

A4V1 and A4V2, which are alternately illuminated by two neon lamps, A4DS1 and A4DS2, respectively. The neon lamps are part of a relaxation oscillator, whose frequency is controlled by A3R5. The oscillator frequency is nominally set to 100 cps for operation from

60 cps power line, or to 85 cps for 50 cps line. This frequency is selected so that it is not harmonically related to the power line frequency, precluding possible beat indications on the meter.

4-19. As the photoconductors are alternately illuminated by the neona, their respective resistances are low (conductive ) when illuminated and high (non-conductive) when darkened. Therefore the input voltage and feedback voltage are alternately applied to the input amplifier. The amplitude of the resultant signal to the amplifier is the voltage difference between the input and feedback voltages.

4-20. The chopped DC signal is amplified by a three stage RC amplifier, consisting of A3V1A, A3Q1 and

A3Q2. The amplified signal to the input of the demodulator-chopper is 180° out of phase with the output of the modulator-chopper.

4-21.

The demodulator - chopper consists of two photoconductors, A4V3 and A4V4, which are alternately illuminated by neon tamps A4DS1 and A4DS2, respectively. Approximately 150 millivolts square-wave is applied to the demodulator from the amplifier. Since the same neon lamps illuminate both the modulator and demodulator photoconductors, operation of the two chopper is synchronous. Therefore, when A4V1 is sampling the input voltage, A4V3 is clamping the amplified and inverted difference voltage to ground.

Alternately, when A4V2 is sampling the feedback voltage, A4V4 is charging capacitors A3C13 and A3C14 to the peak value of the square-wave. These capacitors maintain this charge so long as the input voltage remains constant by virtue of having no discharge path and because they are being repetitively recharged by the demodulator.

4-22. Therefore, a DC potential, proportional to the difference between the input and feedback voltages, is applied to the grid of the cathode follower and subsequently to meter circuit and DC AMPLIFIER OUTPUT connector. A portion of the meter circuit voltage is fed back to the modulator. The meter stabilizes when the feedback voltage and input voltages are nearly equal.

4-23. THE FEEDBACK NETWORK.

4-24. The feedback network drives the meter and determines the DC gain of the amplifier. The feedback is varied depending on the position of the FUNC-

TION and RANGE selectors. The different feedback configurations are discussed below.

4-2

4-25.

FEEDBACK NETWORK FOR ±DCA. OHMS,

AND ±DCV. Figures 4-3, 4-4 and 4-5 show the feed-

back configuration for ail positions of the FUNCTION

SELECTOR except ACV. The meter is electrically inverted for ±DCV and ±DCA modes of operation. The

DC OUTPUT ADJ., A6R20 sets the output voltage. The

DC pot, A6R18 determines the amount of feedback to the modulator. The resistor A2R30 is in the circuit in the ± .015 DCV and ±1.5 µa modes of operation, to decrease feedback and thus increase amplifier gain to compensate for the decrease in input signal to the modulator on these ranges.

4-26. FEEDBACK CIRCUIT FORAC VOLTAGE MEA-

SUREMENTS: Figure 4-6 shows the feedback confi-

guration for the ACV position of the FUNCTION SEL-

ECTOR switch, A2S2. The resistors that are placed in the circuit by the RANGE switch program the amplifier gain to compensate for the non-linear response of the AC probe. A6R16 and A6CR1 compensate the non-linear response of the AC probe to the linear calibration of the upper meter scale on the 5 volt range.

4-27. POWER SUPPLY.

4-28. PRIMARY POWER. Either 115 or 230 volt ac power is connected through fuse R1 (0.25 amp slo-blo) and switch S3 to the primary of power transformer

T1. Switch S4 connects T1 primaries in parallel for l15 volt operation of in series for 230 voit operation.

4-29.

UNREGULATED AND ZENER REGULATED

POWER SUPPLY. Full wave rectifier CR1 and CR2 produces unregulated +270 volts, which is used to drive the photochopper neons. Unregulated +175 volts and +140 volts are tapped off and are used to provide

B+ to the plates of A4V1B and A4V1A, respectively.

Zener regulators A7CR6 and CR7 provide regulated

+38 volts and -9 volts to bias A3Ql and A3Q2. Filtering of the outputs is provided by the RC network consisting of A7R1 through A7R3 and C5A through C5D.

4-30. SERIES REGULATED POWER SUPPLY. The output of the full wave rectifier CR3 and CR4 is regulatedbytransistor Ql, which is connected in series with the output. Zener diode A7CR8 provides reference voltage to the base of Q1. Regulated +6 volts is supplied to the filaments of A3VlA/B and the AC Probe diode

A6V1.

+0.6 volts is provided through A7R10 to R3, the OHMS ADJ, control. Filtering of the outputs is provided by C6A and C6B.

4-31. STANDBY FILAMENT SUPPLY. The filament tap (Tl, Pins 1 and 2) provides 6.0 volts actothe filament of the AC probe diode, A8V1, so that the filament remains warm when the Modei 410C is being used in modes of operation other than ACV. W h e n

FUNCTION selector A1S1 is switched to ACV, 6.0

volts AC is removed from the filament and 6 volts DC is applied. Therefore, the ACV mode is ready for imrnediate use, without waiting for the filament to warm up.

Model 410C instrument circuitry in an effort to localize the problem. These operations should be undertaken only after it has been established that the difficulty can not be eliminated by the Adjustment and Calibration Pro-

cedures, Paragraph 5-26.

An investigation should also be made to insure that the trouble is not a result of conditions external to the Model 410C.

5-38. Conduct a visual check of the Model 410C for possible burned or loose components, loose connections, or any other obvious conditions which might suggest a source of trouble.

5-39. Table 5-9 contains a summary of the front-

panel symptoms that may be encountered. It should beueed in initial efforts to select a starting point for troubleshooting operations.

5-40. Table 5-10, in conjunction with Figure 5-5,

contains procedures which may be used as a guide in

isolating malfunctions. The steps in Table 5-10 des-

cribe the normal conditions which should be encountered during the checks ( circled numbers in

Figure 5-5.

Section V

Paragraphs 5-38 to 5-46

Figure 5-5

5-41. The checks outlined in Table 5-10 are not de-

signed to measure all circuit parameters, rather only to localize the malfunction. .Therefore, it is quite possible that additional measurements will be required to completely isolate the problem. Amplifier gain may also vary slightly between instruments; therefore it should not be necessary to precisely duplicate waveforms or values described.

5-42. Voltage values indicated in Table 5-10 are based

on .5 vdc input, with Model 410C RANGE switch set to

.015 v.

5-43. When required, check power supply voltages

as outlined in Paragraph 5-29.

5-44. Refer to Figure 5-9 for typical waveforms

encountered in the Model 410C. Waveforms represent signals which occur when instrument is operating during overdriven conditions (.5 vdc input to .015 v

RANGE).

5-45. SERVICING ETCHED CIRCUIT BOARDS.

5-46. The Model 410C has three etched circuit

boards. Use caution when removing them to avoid damaging mounted components. The Part Number for the assembly is silk screened on the interior of the circuit board to identify it. Refer to Section VI for parts replacement and Part Number information

5-47. The etched circuit boards are a plated-through type. The electrical connection between sides of the board is made by a layer of metal plated through the component holes.

When working on these boards, observe the following general rules.

a. Use a low-heat (25 to 50 watts) small-tip soldering iron, and a small diameter rosin core aoider.

b. Circuit components can be removed by placing the soldering iron on the component lead on either aide of the board, and pulling up on lead. If a component is obviously damaged, clip leads as close to component as possible and then remove. Excess heat can cause the circuit and board to separate, or cause damage to the component.

TM 11-6625-1614-15

Model 410C c. Component lead hole should be before inserting new lead.

cleaned d. To replace components, shape new leads and insert them in holes. Reheat with iron and add solder as required to insure a good electrical connection.

e. Clean excess flux from the connection and adjoining area.

f. To avoid surface contamination of the printed circuit, clean with weak solution of warm water and mild detergent after repair. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. When completely dry, spray lightly with Krylon (#1302 or equivalent).
