NOTICE

Damage from electrostatics!

The E-500/E-501 system contains electrostatic sensitive devices (EGB) and can be damaged

if handled improperly.

 Avoid touching components, pins and PCB tracks.

 Before touching an electronic component, discharge yourself of any electric charges:

− While working, wear an antistatic wrist strap

− Briefly touch a conducting, grounded object.

Making the gain polarity switch and output range jumper accessible

Only remove modules from the chassis when you are authorized and have the

corresponding qualifications.

1. Remove the E-500/E-501 system from the power source by pulling the power plug.

2. Wait a minute to be sure that any residual voltage has dissipated.

3. Remove the E-508.00 module from the chassis:

a) Loosen the four Phillips screws on the front panel.

b) Using the grip at the bottom of the front panel, pull the module out of the chassis.

4. To access settings for gain polarity and output range, remove the rear cover plate from the E-

508.00 module and slide back the perforated aluminum top.

Setting the Gain Polarity Switch

It is important to understand the relation between gain and the Control In range.

With DC-offset = 0 (full CCW), the Control In range is equal to output range (as set below)

divided by the gain.
