Service Manual
This is a complementary service manual covering instruments with manufacturing numbers exceeding 840684. The principal
differences are to be found in Chapter 7 and in Chapter 8 due to a major redesign of the main PCB.
Do not dispose of the previous edition, identified by the part number, 4822 872 25012, and the publishing date, June 1996.
You may have to refer to it for information on older instruments as well as options not mentioned here.

Minor deviations can depend on the settings of the trimmer potenti-

GPIB Interface and Analog Output Adjustments, for a decription of the procedure to follow.
Large deviations indicate a fault. Trace the signal through the inte-

NOTE: Physical size and shape of a component may af-
If the value of the physical component differs from what is described in fect the performance of the instrument, particularly at

performance of the instrument.
Standard parts are unmarked or marked with an ‘S’ in the P column of
the parts lists. These parts are ‘Recommended Replacement Parts’ and are marked
with an ‘R’ in the P column of the parts lists.
Special Parts
Components marked with a ‘P’ in the P column are ‘Production items’
In addition to standard electronic components, the following special not kept in replacement parts stock. These items can be ordered, but the

How to Replace Surface
Mounted Devices
Most of the components in this instrument are mounted on the sur-
face of the board instead of through holes in the board. These compo-
nents are not hard to replace but they require another technique. If
you do not have special SMD desoldering equipment, follow the in-
structions below:
Fig. 9-1 Heat the leads and push a thin aluminum sheet Fig. 9-5 Solder all leads with plenty of solder; don’t worry
between the leads and the PC-board. about short-circuits at this stage.
Fig. 9-2 When removed, clean the pads with desoldering Fig. 9-6 Remove excessive solder with desoldering braid.
braid.
Fig. 9-3 Place solder on the pad. Fig. 9-7 Use a strong magnifying glass to make sure there
are no short-circuits or unsoldered leads.

Adjustment procedure
– Remove the seal from the front panel.
– Adjust the potentiometer beyond the seal until the display

reads 0.5 Hz or less.
– Check that the value is stable over time, (more than 30 min-
utes).
– Cover the “CALIBRATION ADJUSTMENT” hole on the front
panel with a relevant seal if necessary.
