D. C. Bias, Method l '"IO
(l) The external d. c. bias may be applied via the BIAS socket as shown .
in Fig. Z.8. A suitably limited voltage of up to 500 V d. c. should be
connected to the BIAS jack plug, tip positive, sleeve negative. Since
the bias current alBo flows through the range resistor, the oscillator
transformer and the external a. c. supply, if being used, the permis-
sible current is limited by the t W rating of the range resistors.
TABLE l lists the maximum current far any range.
Theby-pass capacitor CI shouldbe ora suitable value topass the a.c.
signal and of appropriate voltage rating. .
