3000AC Operation Manual - V2.0
Basic Operation
Front Panel
The 3000AC Front Panel consists of a display confirming the current state of the instrument, 4
keys to modify the settings of the instrument, a set of terminals for the AC Output, a Set of terminals
for the DC output and an Earth connection terminal
Display and Power Indication
The left hand side of the 3000AC provides the user with feedback of the current setting. The 2
Operation modes are Free running (i.e. the AC output is active and generating a quasi sine wave at the
requested frequency) and DC Step, in which the numbered step is output and a DC level is present at
the AC Output Terminals
Output Control
The output control buttons provide manual access to functions of the 3000AC. These buttons
are used when the 3000AC is not being used under remote control (Note - Transmille do not advice
trying to perform the AC Characterisation step by hand as this will take an excessive amount of time
and key presses when this process can be automated in any programming environment)
Output Terminals
Warning
To avoid electrical shock, injury of death, never touch any lead connected (or terminal) to the
instrument unless certain that no dangerous voltages are present.
The output terminals of the 3000AC are provided as 4mm binding posts, capable of accepting
4mm banana style connectors, spade connections and bare wire.
Take care to only finger tighten connections, excessive force or tools should not be used to
avoid damage
