C.   SPECIFICATIONS 

 

PREAMPLIFIER 
 

NEUTRALIZATION:  15 turn control located on probe. Range is 0 to 100 

pF. 
 

INPUT IMPEDANCE: Greater than 10,000 Megohms 

 

INPUT CONNECTOR: Miniature co-axial slip-on 

 

OUTPUT: 10 ohms impedance. 20 volt peak to peak, 

 BNC 

connector 

 

GAIN: 50; 100; 200; 500; 1,000; 2,000; 5,000; or 10,000 ± 1% 

 

OVERLOAD RECOVERY: Recovery is very fast, usually 

 

one-half to a few milliseconds except for just after 

 

STAIN. Recovery is then 20 to 40 seconds. 

 

NOISE: Due to Amplifier and Source Resistance; (takes 

 

into account current and voltage noise) 

 

CALIBRATE GENERATOR: 100 uV ± 1%, Peak to Peak Square Wave. 150 

Hz 
 

LINE NOTCH FILTER: Standard 60 Hz. (optional 50 Hz.) The rejection ratio 

is 200 to or, 46 dB.  
HIGH FREQUENCY FILTER: Active 20 dB/decade, push button switch 

selection  3 dB points are; 100, 300, 1K. 3K, 10K, 30K and 100K Hz. 
LOW FREQUENCY FILTER: Active 20 dB/decade, push button switch 

selection 3 dB points are 0.3, 1.0, 3.0, 10, 30, 100, and 300 Hz. 

 

AUDIO MONITOR: An internal audio power amplifier monitors the 

PREAMPLIFIER  output. Sound level is controlled by the MONITOR control. 
Output is through a phone jack located on rear panel. An 8 ohm speaker, 

or external computer type powered amplifier is recommended. 
 

CURRENT PUMP  
 PUMP 

LEVEL: 

 

 

(1) EXTERNAL: An analog voltage between minus 10 

 

 

to plus 10 volts into the EXT REF BNC jack generates 

 

 

a current between minus 1000 nA to plus 1000 nA. 

 

 

(2) INTERNAL: The INTERNAL position enables the 10 

 

 

digital dial current setting. The dial is read out 

 

 

in nA, and has a range of 0 to 1000 nA. Polarity is determined by 

 

 

the PUMP POLARITY switch. 

 

Z TEST: A signal  2 Hz 100mV per megohm 

 

STAIN 

A POSITIVE (for Metal electrodes) or NEGATIVE (for Glass electrodes) 
 

voltage of 15 volts limited by 10,000 ohms is fed into the electrode. 

 

ELECTRODE (PROBE MODE) 

A four station push button switch selects the mode of operation by 
connecting the probe input connector to the four functions via a reed relay 

located in the probe. The four functions are:
