Con
nect a 10K,
lOW,
1% resistor betwee n pins 3 and 8
of
the
octa I socket.
Press
P4
(locked) and obse rve

15.1 Adjustment
If bala nce
is
not
correct check
the
bridge resistors
R37/
500 ohms,
R38
/ 60 ohms,
R39
/ 40 ohms,
R40/
40 ohms,
R41/60
ohrns and
R42/500
ohms
for
proper value. Note
that
resistors
of
equal value
in
this series should
be
matched closely
in
value
for
good bridge balance. Also confirm
that
the
plate power supply
is
correctly balanced
as
tested
in
step
14
(POWER

CONDUCTANCE READING TEST
Verify
that
the
panel switches are set up
to
the
conditions
as
given in
the
list
immediately
following
step 6.
(HS
5348-1) FILAMENT
at
6.3 volts.
Forthe
following
mutual
conductance tests you
will
need
to
set up
an
isolated current limited source
of
AC
voltage.
Use
the
setup drawing
in
Figure 1
to
connect
the
equipment
to
the
tester.
Be
careful because
improper
connection
can
cause serious damage. Connect
the
source
to
pins 3 and 8
of
the
octal socket. If
the
main
meter
deflects
downward
instead
of
up when you perform
the
test, swap
the
connections
to
pins 3 and 8. All voltages
are measured directly across
the
secondary
of
the
isolation
tra
nsformer.
