SPECIFICATIONS
AMPLIFIERS
Nine DC operational am plifiers, each using a high gain circu it with a pentode driving a cathode
follow er output. Each am plifier has the following ch a ra cteristics:
GAIN: Open loop gain approxim ately 1000.
OUTPUT: Any value between -60 and +60 volts with load current up to 0. 7 ma.
HUM AND NOISE LEVEL: Approxim ately 4 mv referred to input, under norm al conditions.
DRIFT: Short term drift less than ±5 mv referred to input.
FREQUENCY RESPONSE: Down 1 db at 600 cps.
ADJUSTMENTS: Screwdriver adjust balance controls mounted on front panel. A m plifiers
may be balanced without rem oving problem setup.
CONNECTIONS: Two input and two output connections for each am plifier. Computing c o m
ponents mount on plugs which are inserted in sockets on panel.
METER
A 50-0-50 m icroam pere movement calibrated to read 1 -0 -1 , 10-0-10 and 100-0-100 volts is
used to read power supply voltage, m easure initial condition voltages, monitor output of an
am plifier, and indicate am plifier balance.
INITIAL CONDITION VOLTAGE SUPPLIES
Three ungrounded supplies, each of which provide 0-100 volts at 5 ma regulated by VR tube.
May be used as positive o r negative voltage sou rce.
