IntroductionThe Aceco FC2002 hand-held frequency counter is a more professional counter, even advanced features such as fieldstrength measurement and auto hold are incorporated. It is compact, truly pocket-sized, test instrument designed for easeof use and dependable performance. Supplied as a complete with internal NiCd pack, AC wall charger and 7 sectiontelescopic antenna.SpecificationsFrequency range: 10 Hz - 3 GHzWeight: 250 grSize: 100 mm high x 68 mm wide x 31 mm deepImpedance: 1 * dual purpose BNC Socket50 Ohms input for range 1 MHz to 3 GHz1 Meg Ohm input for range 10 Hz to 50 MHzCase: 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 Hi-Z low rangel Filter to prevent display of random noisel Automatic holdl Measures frequency and periodl LED back lightl Beeperl Low power consumption (Average 6 hour battery life)l 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. Amp Switch - This slide switch selects either the 1 Meg Ohm high impedance amplifier or 50 Ohm amplifier andprescale.3. 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.4. Lite Switch - This slide switch turns the LCD back light on and off.5. Filter Switch – This slide switch turns the filter on and off.6. Function Button - This selects the frequency or period. This button has four settings. One each for displayingfrequency or period as these are received, and two settings for automatic hold of the first frequency or periodcaptured.7. Hold Button - This holds the current display and stops the counter from counting.8. Gate Button - This selects the gate or measurement time. A longer gate time allows counting for longer period andresults in higher accuracy.9. 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.FC2002Frequency CounterACECOAceco Electronics, Corp. guarantees the counter and its accessories for one year against defects in manufacture.
