2 Introduction Description The B&K Precision model 4030 is specifically designed to include the basic facilities of a Pulse Generator in order to make it an easy to operate unit. It offers pulse repetition rates from 0.1 Hz to 10 MHz with rise and fall times of <12 nsec, pulse width from 50 nsec to 50 msec and pulse amplitude from 0.5 V to 5 V across 50 ohms. A provision for external triggering and monopulse generation is also available.
shipping packaging for inspection and contact the distributor from where the instrument was purchased. Retain the original packing in case subsequent repackaging for return is required. Use of the original packing is essential. After the mechanical inspection, verify the contents of the shipment.

5 5.1 Operating Instructions Pulse Generator Output Before applying power to the unit, make sure that input voltage is correct and the ventilation holes are not blocked. Ensure the ventilation fan is working well. It is necessary to inspect the generated signal with an oscilloscope before connecting it to any electronic circuit. Hence, use of oscilloscope is mentioned in the procedure. Turn on the instrument with power on switch provided on the front panel. The display LED will light up. 1. 2. 3. 3. 4 5.
trigger you will see a 50mS pulse (one division horizontally). You may have to push it a couple of times because sometimes the trigger pulses off the screen. To verify that the pulse is actually triggering you can hook the unit up to a counter that has a "Total" feature. Every time you push the trigger the counter will count 1 pulse. If you change your volts/division switch to 500mS and leave all the other settings the same as above, you will see the pulses very clearly.

7 Certification CE Compliant CE Declaration of Conformity The pulse generator meets the requirements of 2006/95/EC Low Voltage Directive and 2004/108/EC Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive. Low Voltage Directive - EN61010-1:2001 o Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use. EMC Directive - EN 61000-6-2:2005 - EN 61000-6-4:2007 - EN 61326-1:2006 o Electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use.
8 Maintenance 8.1 Preventive Steps Please follow these preventive steps to ensure the proper operation of your instrument. 8.2 Never place heavy objects on the instrument. Never place a hot soldering iron on or near the instrument. Never insert wires, pins, or other metal objects into ventilation fan. Never move or pull the instrument with power cord or output lead. More importantly, never move the instrument when the power cord or output lead is connected.
8.3 Fuse Replacement If the fuse blows, the LED will not light and the instrument will not operate. Replace only with the correct value fuse. Refer to Table 1 - Fuse Table for fuse values. The fuse is located on the rear panel adjacent to the power cord receptacle. Remove the fuse holder assembly as follows: 1. Unplug the power cord from the rear of the instrument. 2. Insert a small screwdriver in the fuse holder slot (located between fuse holder and receptacle).
