TEST INSTRUMENT SAFETY

WARNING

Normal use of test equipment exposes you to a certain amount of danger from electrical shock because

testing must often be performed where exposed high voltage is present. An electrical shock causing

10 milliampsof current topass through theheart willstop mosthuman heartbeats.Voltageaslow as 35 volts

dc or ac rms should be considered dangerous and hazardous since it can produce a lethal current under

certain conditions. Higher voltage poses an even greater threat because such voltage can more easily

produce a lethal current. Your normal work habits should include all accepted practices that will prevent

contact with exposed high voltage, and that will steer current away from your heart in case of accidental

contact with a high voltage. You will significantly reduce the risk factor if you know and observe the

following safety precautions:

1. Don’t expose high voltage needlessly in the equipment under test. Remove housings and covers only when necessary.

Turn off equipment while making test connections in high-voltage circuits. Discharge high-voltage capacitors after

removing power.

2. If possible, familiarize yourself with the equipment being tested and the location of its high voltage points. However,

remember that high voltage may appear at unexpected points in defective equipment.

3. Use an insulated floor material or a large, insulated floor mat to stand on, and an insulated work surface on which to

place equipment; make certain such surfaces are not damp or wet.

4. Use the time-proven “one hand in the pocket” technique while handling an instrument probe. Be particularly careful to

avoid contacting a nearby metal object that could provide a good ground return path.

5. When using a probe, touch only the insulated portion. Never touch the exposed tip portion.

6. When testing ac powered equipment, remember that ac line voltage is usually present on some power input circuits such

as the on-off switch, fuses, power transformer, etc. any time the equipment is connected to an ac outlet, even if the

equipment is turned off.

7. Some equipment with a two-wire ac power cord, including some with polarized power plugs, is the “hot chassis” type.

This includes most recent television receivers and audio equipment. A plastic or wooden cabinet insulates the chassis

to protect the customer.When the cabinet is removed forservicing, a serious shockhazard exists if thechassis is touched.

Not only does this present a dangerous shock hazard, but damage to test instruments or the equipment under test may

result from connecting the ground lead of most test instruments (including this oscilloscope) to a “hot chassis”. To make

measurements in “hot chassis” equipment, always connect an isolation transformer between the ac outlet and the

equipment under test. The B+K Precision Model TR-110 or 1604A Isolation Transformer, or Model 1653A or 1655A

AC Power Supply is suitable for most applications. To be on the safe side, treat all two wire ac powered equipment as

“hot chassis” unless you are sure it has an isolated chassis or an earth ground chassis.

8. Never work alone. Someone should be nearby to render aid if necessary. Training in CPR (cardio-pulmonary

resuscitation) first aid is highly recommended.

This symbol on oscilloscope means “refer to instruction manual

for further precautionary information”. This symbol appears in the

manual where the corresponding information is given.

CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

GENERAL FUNCTION CONTROLS

1. ON Indicator. Lights when oscilloscope is “on”.

2.2160A Only. POWER/Scale ILLUMination Con-

trol. Clockwise rotation from OFF position turns os-

cilloscope “on”. Further clockwise rotation increases

amount of graticule illumination.

3.1541D Only. POWER Pushbutton. Turns oscillo-

scope “on” and “off”.

4.INTENSITY Control. Adjusts brightness of trace.

5.TRACE ROTATION Control. Adjusts to maintain

trace at a horizontal position.

6. FOCUS Control. Adjusts trace focus.

7.2160A Only. COMPonent TEST Pushbutton. With

pushbutton set to “in” position, ComponentTest mode

is enabled. Normal scope operation is enabled with

pushbutton in “out” position.

8.2160A Only. COMPonent TEST Jack. “Banana”-

type HI-side input jack for connection to component

in Component Test operating mode.

9. GND Terminal. Oscilloscope chassis ground

jack, and earth ground via three-wire ac power cord.

On Model 2160A, also serves as LO-side Component

Test jack.

10. CAL Terminal. Terminal provides 2 V p-p, 1 kHz

(nominal) square wave signal. This signal is useful for

checking probe compensation adjustment, as well as

providing a rough check of vertical calibration.

11. 2160AOnly.BEAMFINDPushbutton.Momentary-

contact pushbutton speeds setup of trace positioning

by bringing the beam into graticule area; operates

independently of other display controls.

VERTICAL CONTROLS

12. VERTical MODE Switch. Selects vertical display

mode. Four-position lever switch with the following

positions:

CH1:

Displays the channel 1 signal by itself.

CH2/X-Y:

CH2: displays the channel 2 signal by itself.

X-Y: used in conjunction with the X-Y control and

Trigger SOURCE switch to enable X-Y display

mode.

DUAL:

Displays the channel 1 and channel 2 signals simul-

taneously. Dual-trace mode may be either alternate

or chopped sweep; see the description under

HOLDOFF/PULL CHOP control.

Fig. 1. Model 2160A Controls and Indicators.

17 33 18 32 31 30 28 27

ADD:

The inputs from channel 1 and channel 2 are

summed and displayed as a single signal. If the

Channel 2 POSition/PULL INVert control is

pulled out, the input from channel 2 is subtracted

from channel 1 and the difference is displayed as a

single signal.

13. CH1 AC-GND-DC Switch. Three-position lever

switch with the following positions:

AC:

Channel 1 input signal is capacitively coupled; dc

component is blocked.

GND:

Opens signal path and grounds input to vertical

amplifier. This provides a zero-volt base line, the

position of which can be used as a reference when

performing dc measurements.

DC:

Direct coupling of channel 1 input signal; both ac

and dc components of signal produce vertical de-

flection.

14. CH1 (X) Input Jack. Vertical input for channel 1.

X-axis input for X-Y operation.

15. CH1 (X) VOLTS/DIV Control. Vertical attenuator

for channel 1. Provides step adjustment of vertical

sensitivity. When channel 1 VARiable control is set

to CAL, vertical sensitivity is calibrated in 10 steps

from 5 mV/div to 5 V/div in a 1-2-5 sequence. When

the X-Y mode of operation is selected, this control

provides step adjustment of X-axis sensitivity.

16. CH1 VARiable/PULL X5 MAG Control:

VARiable:

Rotation provides vernier adjustment of channel 1

vertical sensitivity. In the fully-clockwise (CAL)

position, the vertical attenuator is calibrated. Coun-

terclockwise rotation decreases gain sensitivity. In

X-Y operation, this control becomes the vernier

X-axis sensitivity control.

PULL X5 MAG:

When pulled out, increases vertical sensitivity by a

factor of five. Effectively provides two extra sensi-

tivity settings: 2 mV/div and 1 mV/div. In X-Y

mode, increases X-sensitivity by a factor of five.

17. CH1 POSition/PULL ALT TRIGger Control:

POSition:

Adjusts vertical position of channel 1 trace.

PULL ALT:

Used in conjunction with the Trigger SOURCE

switch to activate alternate triggering. See the de-

scription under the Trigger SOURCE switch.

18. CH2 POSition/PULL INVert Control:

POSition:

Adjusts verticalposition of channel 2 trace. In X-Y

operation, rotation adjusts vertical position of X-Y

display.
