Applications

The versatile functionality of the PDG-2515 makes it ideal for the needs of
numerous applications as a small bench top instrument. The delay resolution and
width resolution of each channel allow a unique ability to offset control signals,
coupled with ability to logically manipulate the outputs together to form gate
signals or specific waveforms make automation of testing and control an easier
process.

Safety

Normal use of test equipment exposes the user to a certain amount of danger
from electrical shock because testing may be performed with exposed voltages
present, dictating the use of caution when operating or servicing this equipment.
The following is a summary of general safety precautions that must be observed
during all phases of operation and repair of the PDG-2515.

Operating Safety Summary

The safety information contained in this summary is for both operating and
servicing personnel. Specific warnings may be found throughout this manual, but
may not appear in this summary.

Power Source

The PDG-2515 is designed to operate from a regulated power source. To
assure proper system operation the input voltage should not vary by more
than 10% from the recommended specification. The PDG-2515 accepts
input voltages from 90VAC to 264VAC at 47Hz to 63Hz.

A protective grounding connection by way of the grounding conductor in
the AC power cord is essential.

Grounding

The PDG-2515 is grounded through the grounding conductor of the AC
power cord.

To avoid electrical shock, plug the PDG-2515 into a

properly wired receptacle before making connection to any input or
output connectors.

Use only a power cord that is in good condition.

Cover Removal

To avoid personal injury, do not remove the covers.

Do not operate the

PDG-2515 while the covers are removed.

Operating the unit with the top

cover removed voids any and all warranties associated with the PDG-
2515.

General Operating Precautions

Do not open the unit while the system is in operation. Use caution when
handling or removing the output cables while the unit is operating. Turn off
