ADJUSTMENT
OF
INPUT
ATTENUATOR
OPERATION
ON
210-250
VOLT
LINE
The
power
transformer
of
the
Type
511A
is wound
with
two
115 volt
primaries.
When
the
instrument
leaves
the
factory
the
primaries
are
ordinarily
connected
in
parallel
for
105-125
volt
operation.
If
operation
from
210-250
volt
lines
is
desired
remove the
jumpers con
necting
terminals
1
to
2
and
3
to
4.
Now
connect
termi
nals
2
and
3
together.
With
the
line
still
connected
to
terminals
1
and
4
the
instrument
is
ready
for
210-250
volt
operation.
ADJUSTMENT
OF
225
VOLT
REGULATED
SUPPLY
In
order
for
the
instrument
to
perform
properly
it
is
necessary
that the
225 volt supply be
within
plus
or
minus
5
volts
of
that
value.
This
should
be
checked with
an
accurate
voltmeter
and
corrected if
necessary
by
adjustment of
the
potentiometer R-159
on
the
power
supply chassis
marked
ADJ
TO
225
V.
This
check
should
always be
made
if
the
5651 tube
V-29
is
changed.
ADJUSTMENT
OF
HIGH
VOLTAGE
SUPPLY
The
—
1500
volt supply
should
be
set
to
within
10% of
this
value.
This is
accomplished
by
varying
the
screen
potential
of
the
oscillator
V31
by
means
of
the
variable
resistor
R165.2.
After
making
this
adjustment
always
check
sweep speed
timing
for
accuracy
and
reset
if
necessary.
ADJUSTMENT
OF
SWEEP
SPEED
CALIBRATION
If
the
Cathode
Ray
Tube
is
replaced,
or
if
the
Sweep
Amplifier
tubes
V
1
3
and V
14
change their
character
istics,
the
indicated
sweep
speeds
may
be
in
error.
This
may
be
corrected
by
adjustment
of
the
potentiom
eter
on
the
chassis
marked
SWEEP
SPEED ADJ. (R42),
for all
ranges
except
the
1
to
10 microsecond
range,
which
is
corrected
by
varying
C15A located
on
the
rear
section
of
the
Sweep
Range
Switch.
These
adjustments
may
be
made
with
the
aid of
an
accurately calibrated
oscillator.
A
commonly
available
instrument
suitable
for
this
purpose is the Army Fre
quency
Meter
BC
221,
or
the
Navy
equivalent, Type
LM.
If
this type
instrument
is
used, set the
frequency
at
200
KC
and
connect
it
to
the
Type
511-A SIGNAL
INPUT.
With
the
SWEEP
SPEED
MULT,
dials
at
1.0
and
the
SWEEP
RANGE
switch
at
10
microseconds,
adjust
R42
until
2
cycles coincide with
the
10
cm
scale.
Change
the
frequency
meter setting
to
2
m
c.,
set
the
SWEEP
SPEED MULT,
dials
at
2.0
and
the
SWEEP
RANGE
switch
at
1
microsecond
and
adjust
C15A until
4
cycles
occupy
the
10
cm
scale.

SETTING
CONSISTENT
WITH A
STABLE
PATTERN.
The
RC
compensated
attenuator
used
in
the
Type
511A
is
really
two
attenuators in
parallel, one a
re
sistive
divider
and
the other
a
capacity divider.
The
ratio
of the
resistive
divider
is
maintained
by
the
use
of accurate
resistors.
Since
the stray
capacities
are
not
negligible
compared
to
the
values
used
in
the
capacity
divider,
each
divider
incorporates
a
variable
ceramic
trimmer
capacitor in
one
arm.
To
make
the
input
capac
ity
of
each amplifier
and
that
of
the
attenuator
equal,
similar
capacitors
are shunted
across
these
circuits
also
The
easiest
way
to
make
these
adjustments
is
to
send
a
square
wave
through
the
attenuator
and
observe
the
resulting
waveshape on
the
oscilloscope
itself.
When the
capacity
and
resistive
dividers
have
the
same
ratio
the
square
wave
is
reproduced
correctly.
If
the
capacity divider
has
a
lower
attenuation
ratio
than
the
resistive
divider
a
spike appears
on
the
corners.
If
the
capacity
divider
has
a
higher
attenuation,
the
corners
are
rounded. To
make
these effects
more
pronounced
the
square
wave
frequency
should
be
such
that
one
cycle
is
from
4
to
20
times
the
time constant
of
the
atten
uator.
In the case
of the
Type
511-A
a
frequency of
1000
cycles
is
satisfactory. The
amplitude
of
the
square wave
test
signal
should
be
adjustable
from
1
to
50
volts
(peak
to
peak).
The Tektronix
Type
104-A
and
Type
105
Square
Wave
Generators
are
suitable
for
this purpose. If
a
Tektronix
Type
512
Oscilloscope
is
avaiable,
its
square
wave
cali
brator
may be
used.
A
procedure
which
has
proven
satisfactory
is
as
follows:
1.
Lay
a
metal
sheet
on
top
of
the
instrument
to
simulate
the
