It is compact, truly pocket-sized, test instrument designed for ease of use anddependable performance. Supplied as a complete with internal NiCd pack, AC wall charger and 7 section telescopicantenna.SpecificationsFrequency range: 1 MHz - 3 GHzWeight: 210 gSize: 80 mm high x 68 mm wide x 31 mm deepImpedance: 50 Ohms (BNC Socket)Case: Stamped aluminum with black anodized finishBattery: Internal 4 x AA 600 mAH NiCd packPower: 9 VDC 300 mATimebase: Less than 1 PPM at room temperatureFeaturesl 10 digit Liquid Crystal Displayl Filter to prevent display of random noisel Low power consumption (Average 6 hour battery life)l Supplied with NiCd pack, AC wall charger and telescopic antennal Hold switch to lock displayl Low battery indicatorl Ultra sensitive synchronous detector 16 section bargraph to show RF signal strengthl High speed 300 MHz direct counter with 0.1 Hz resolutionl 4 selectable gate speedsControls1. Power Switch - This slide switch turns the counter on and initiates a 2 second test of all the LCD segments.2. Range Switch - This should be switched to the 300 MHz position for frequencies between 1 MHz and 300 MHz andswitched to the 3 GHz position for frequencies between 10 MHz and 3 GHz.3. Filter Switch – This slide switch turns the filter on and off.4. Hold Button - This holds the current display and stops the counter from counting.5. Gate Button - This selects the gate or measurement time. A longer gate time allows counting for longer period andresults in higher accuracy.6. Calibration - The calibration adjustment opening is located on the front panel of the counter. This allows access to thetrimmer capacitor that provides about a 10 PPM adjustment range of the time base oscillator. This is not usuallynecessary but to do so read a signal of a known frequency before adjusting the trimmer for correct frequency display.If you calibrate at 4.1943 MHz or above then the counter will be more accurate.WarrantyAceco Electronics, Corp. guarantee the counter and its accessories for one year against defects in manufacture.
