SECTION II
INSTALLATION
2-1. INTRODUCTION.
2-2. This section contains information and
instructions necessary for the installation and shipping of
the Model 3300A Function Generator. Included are initial
inspection procedures, power and grounding
requirements, installation information, and instructions
for repackaging for shipment.
2-3. INITIAL INSPECTION.
2-4. This instrument was carefully inspected both
mechanically and electrically before shipment. It should
be physically free of mars or scratches and in perfect
electrical order upon receipt. To confirm this, the
instrument should be inspected for physical damage in
transit. Also check for supplied accessories and test the
electrical performance of the instrument using the
Performance Checks outlined in Section V.
2-5. POWER REQUIREMENTS.
2-6. The Model 3300A can be operated from any
source of 115 or 230 volts (* 109%), at 48 - 440 Hz.
With the instrument disconnected from the ac power
source, move the slide switch (located on the rear panel)
until the desired line voltage appears. Power dissipation
is approximately 50 watts.
2-7. GROUNDING REOUIREMENTS.
2-8. To protect operating personnel, the National
Electrical Manufacturers’ Association (NEMA)
recommends that the Instrument panel and cabinet be
grounded. All Hewlett-Packard instruments are
equipped with a three -conductor power cable which,
when plugged into an appropriate receptacle, grounds
the instrument. The offset pin on the power cable three-
prong connector is the ground wire.
2-9. To preserve the protection feature when
operating the instrument from a two-contact outlet, use a
three-prong to two-prong adapter and connect the green
pigtail on the adapter to ground.
2-10. INSTALLATION.
2-11. The Model 3300A is fully transistorized;
therefore, no special cooling is required. However, the
instrument should not be operated where the ambient
temperature exceeds 55°C (131F).
2-12. BENCH MOUNTING.
2-13. The Model 3300A is shipped with plastic feet and
tilt stand in place, ready for use as a bench instrument.
