Unpack the instrument : After receipt of the instrument, immediately unpack and inspect it for any damage which might have been sustained when in transporation or shortage of accessories. If any sign of damage and shortage of accessories are found, immediately notify the dearler. 2. Environments = Normally, operational temperature of the instrument is 10°C to 40°C (90°F to 104°F). Operation of the instrument outside of this temperature range may cause damage to the circuits. Do not use the instrument in a place where strong magnetic or electric field exisits. Such fields may distrub the measurement. 3. Check the Line Voltage : The instrument can operate on any one of the line voltages shown in the below table by inserting the line voltage selector plug in the corresponding position on the rear panel. Before connection the power plug to an AC line outlet, be sure to check that voltage selector plug is set in the correct position corresponding to the line voltage. 4s CAUTION : The instrument may not porperly operate or may be damage if it connected to a wrong voltage AC line. When line voltages are changed, replace fuses also a required LECTOR LINE V¢ ‘AG! FUSE [sv 100~125V_sO/60Hz | 600mAF | 230V 220~240V_S0/60Hz 300mAF | © Hints for operation the instrument observe the following suggestions for successful instrument operation. 1. Never place heavy objects on the instrument. 2. Never place a hot soldering iron on or near the instrument. 3. Never insert wires, pins or other metal objects into ventilation fan. 4, Never move or pull the instrument with power cord or probe cord Especially never move instrument when power cord or signal porbe is connected to a circuit. 5, Ifthe instrument is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection porvided by the equipment may be impaired, 4, WARNING : The following precautions must be observed to help prevent electric shock1, When the instrument is used to make testing. There is always a certain amount of danger from electrical shock. The person using the instrument in such condition should be a qualified electronics technician or otherwise trained and qualified to work in such circumstance. 2. Do not operate the instrument with the cover removed unless you are a qualified service technician. 3. The ground wire of the 3-wire Ac power plug places the chassis and housing of the instrument at earth ground. Use only a 3-wire outlet, and do not attempt to defeat the ground wire connection or float the instrument. to do so may pose a great safety hazard. 4. Do not obstruct the ventilation holes in the rearpanel. As this will increase the internal temperature. 5. Never apply external voltage to output BNC of the instrument. 6. Excessive voltage applied to the input BNC may damage the instrument. 7. The instruments are designed for INDOOR USE ONLY. 8. This equipment has been evaluated to INSTALLTION CATEGORY II, POLLUTION DEGREE 2. I. MAINTANCE GENERAL MAINTANCE Preventive Maintance -Clean and recalibrate the INSTRUMENT on a regular basis to keep the instrument looking nice and working well. Cleaning -Remove any dirt, dust and grime whenever they become noticable. You can remove dirt from the outside covers with a soft cloth moistened with a mild cleaning solution Servicing -If the instrument ever becomes inoperative or damaged, refer servicing to a qualified repair facility. FUSE R EPLACEMENT If the fuse blows, the "ON" indicator will not light and the instrument will not operate. Replace only with the correct value fuse. For 110/125V. line vlotage operation, use an 600mA,-250V fuse. For 220/240V line voltage operation, use a 300mA, 250V fuse. The fuse is located on the rear panel adjacent to the power cord receptacle. Remove the fuscholder assembly as follows: 1. Unplug the power cord from rear of scope. 2. Insert a small screwdriver in fuseholder selt (located between fuseholder and receptacle). Pry fuseholder away from receptacle. 7. When reinstallmg fi~seholder, be sure that the fuse is installed so that the correct line voltage is selected (see LINE VOLTAGE SELECTION).Il. 2001 GENERAL DESCRIPTION : The B+K 4001 is a multi-purpose, highly reliable and low cost 3MHz sweep function generator.
