Step 4.
Connect the other side of coaxial cable to the load. The cone teflon insulator is
used at the cable end to prevent the discharge between central cable wire and the
cable braid (See Fig.2). You may use additional wires for connection: solder the
high voltage signal wire to the central cable wire and screw/solder ground signal
wire to the ground clamp. It is recommended to use as short additional wires as
possible. More than 10 cm wires result is excessive stray inductance and
significant reducing of the pulse voltage on the load.

The length of coaxial cable is about 3 meters. Shorter cable may result in damage
of the generator in case of operation on short or open load.
Step 4.
Toggle HV ON/HV OFF switch to HV OFF state.
Toggle EXT/INT switch to INT state.
Place both "amplitude" and "frequency" knobs to the most counterclockwise
position, which corresponds to minimum amplitude and frequency.
Connect power supply cable to power outlet.
Switch on the generator by power switch at the rear panel. The internal fans of the
generator should start to rotate.
