Commissioning; Pre-Setting Of The Mains Voltage; Switching On/Off; Basic Setting - VOLTCRAFT FG 8210 Notice D'emploi

7. COMMISSIONING

7.1 PRE-SETTING OF THE MAINS VOLTAGE

• Before first commissioning, observe that the rear selection switch for the mains voltage (24)
is in the correct position.
• For Europe, set "230V"
7.2 CONNECTION OF THE POWER CABLE
• Connect the supplied grounding mains cable to the mains connection socket (21) on the function generator.
Ensure a tight fit.
• Connect the mains cable to a protective contact socket with protective ground.

7.3 SWITCHING ON/OFF

• Push the mains switch (19) to switch the generator on or off. The device is switched on when it is pushed.
• After activation, a self test runs that is indicated by all display segments lighting up. After the test, the generator is
ready for use. Observe a heat up phase of at least 30 minutes before taking up the measurements.

7.4 BASIC SETTING

• To be certain that the output signal is symmetric as well as uninfluenced by the wobbulator, observe the following
table:
Operating element
Wobble function "SWEEP WIDTH" (14)
Symmetry "SYM" (12)
DC-offset (11)
Dampener "ATT" (8)
Switch "COUNTER INT/EXT" (17)
The ground connection of the counter and the outer contact of the BNC sockets (4), (5), (6), and
(7), are directly connected to the protective ground of the mains plug. Ensure that the circuits
in/at which you perform your measurements are galvanically disconnected from the mains via
a separating transformer. Never connect the in-/outputs (BNC) directly to the mains, chassis to
which voltage is applied or to circuits operated without transformers (galvanic insulation of input
and output). Attention! Danger to life!
Observe the max. input values that are indicated at the input sockets (4) and (5).
Check all BNC sockets for damage or short circuit before any measurement.
