5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Waveform Selection

  • Press the "MODE" button to cycle through the available waveforms: Sine, Square, Triangle, and Ramp. The currently selected waveform will be displayed on the LCD.

5.2. Frequency Adjustment

  • Use the "CURSOR" button to select the digit you wish to adjust on the frequency display. The selected digit will blink.
  • Use the "+" and "-" buttons to increase or decrease the value of the selected digit.
  • The frequency range for sine waves is 1Hz-500KHz. For square, triangle, and ramp waves, the range is 1Hz-20KHz.

5.3. DC Offset Adjustment

  • The "DC OFFSET" switch allows you to enable or disable the DC offset.
  • Use the rotary knob below the switch to adjust the DC offset value from ±10V (no load). Turn clockwise for positive offset, counter-clockwise for negative.

5.4. Filter Control

  • The "FILTER" button activates or deactivates an internal filter to refine the output waveforms, particularly useful for sine and square waves.

5.5. Output Control

  • Press the "RUN/STOP" button to start or stop the signal output. When stopped, no waveform will be generated.

6. Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the device. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Storage: Store the generator in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Inspection: Periodically check cables and connectors for any signs of damage.

7. Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause Solution
No power/Display off Power cable not connected; Power supply faulty; Power button off. Check power cable connection; Verify power supply functionality; Press the POWER button.
No signal output "RUN/STOP" button in STOP mode; Output cable faulty; Frequency set to 0. Press "RUN/STOP" to RUN; Check/replace output cable; Adjust frequency to a non-zero value.
Distorted waveform Incorrect filter setting; Overloaded output; Frequency too high for waveform type. Adjust or toggle the FILTER; Ensure load impedance is appropriate; Verify frequency is within range for the selected waveform (e.g., <20KHz for square/triangle).

If issues persist after attempting these solutions, please contact customer support.
