Sonoclock 51 SC 5301

ǵ

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

Signal Source
1.MW/LW signal generator (AM SG)
2. FM signal generator (FM SG)
3. Sweep generator (10.7 Mhz for FM)

Output Indicator
1. SSVM
2. Oscilloscope
3. Frequency Counter

General preparation

1. Check source voltage.
2. Set function switch to band being aligned
3. Turn volume control to minimum (unless noted otherwise)
4. Connect low side of signal and output indicator to chassis ground unless otherwise specified.
    Keep ground connection close to high side connection.
5. Keep signal inout as low as possible to avoid AGC and AFC action
    (set output indicator to high sensitivity.)
6. Standard modulation is 1000 Hz AT 30% amplitude for MW/LW (1000 Hz at 22.5 kHz deviation for FM)
