INTRODUCTION
The FG2C and FG3C Function Generators are stable low distortion instruments that generate sine, triangle, and square waveforms
in frequencies up to 3 MHz. The FG2C has amplitude, offset, and duty cycle controls. The outputs are Main(50
Ω
) and logic(TTL
and CMOS). The FG3C has the same capabilities plus internal Sweep(Log/Linear), Modulation (AM/FM), external VCF/MOD and
counter inputs and GCV output. The counter can be switched to measure and display the frequency of an external signal
up to 150 MHz.

As the colours of the wires in main leads may not correspond with the colours marking identified in your plug/appliance, proceed
as follows:
The wire which is coloured Green & Yellow must be connected to the Earth terminal marked with the letter E or by the earth
symbol or coloured Green or Green & Yellow.
The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured Blue or Black.
The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or P or coloured Brown or Red.
If in doubt, consult the instructions provided with the equipment or contact the supplier. This cable/appliance should be
protected by a suitably rated and approved HBC mains fuse : refer to the rating information on the equipment and/or user
instructions for details. As a guide, cable of 0.75mm should be protected by a 3A or 5A fuse. Larger conductors would normally
require 13A types, depending on the connection method used.
Any moulded mains connector that requires removal /replacement must be destroyed by removal of any fuse & fuse carrier and
disposed of immediately, as a plug with bared wires is hazardous if engaged in a live socket. Any rewiring must be carried out in
accordance with the information detailed on this label.
