Vectronics VEC-4001K - Manual

VEC-4001K Owner’s Manual Professional Function Generator
1
INTRODUCTION
This easy-to-build professional grade function generator kit provides precision
sine, square, and triangle waveforms from 1 Hz to 1 MHz in six decade ranges.
Waveform amplitude is continuously adjustable from 0 to 12-Volts peak-to-
peak. DC offset is adjustable from -6 to +6 VDC. Output impedance is 400
Ohms, with short-circuit output protection. Simple-to-follow step-by-step
instructions guide you through assembly and alignment. Circuitry is constructed
on a rugged professional-quality glass-epoxy PC board with a solder mask and
silk-screened component-placement legend. Your kit uses only high-quality
components throughout, and it comes complete with a sturdy molded cabinet and
silk-screened aluminum front panel. AC power adapter included.
TOOLS AND SUPPLIES
Construction Area: Kit construction requires a clean, smooth, and well-lighted
area where you can easily organize and handle small parts without losing them.
An inexpensive sheet of white poster board makes an excellent construction
surface, while providing protection for the underlying table or desk. Diffused
overhead lighting is a plus, and a supplemental high-intensity desk lamp is
especially helpful for close-up work. Safety is always important! Use a suitable
high-temperature stand for your soldering iron, and keep the work area free of
clutter.
Universal Kit-building Tools: No special tools are required to complete this
kit beyond common items normally used for bench construction. We
recommend the following:
! Soldering Iron (grounded-tip and temperature-controlled preferred)
! High-temperature Iron Holder with Cleaning Sponge
! Solder, 60/40 or 37/63 with rosin or "no-clean" flux (.031" dia. is good size)
! Needle Nose Pliers or Surgical Hemostats
! Diagonal Cutters or "Nippy Cutters"
! Solder Sucker (squeeze or vacuum pump type), or Desoldering Braid
! Bright Desk Lamp
! Magnifying Glass
