The initial screen during the power up phase is depicted here.
Line three shows the software revision number and line four the
serial number of the particular tuner.
The first line indicates that the tuner is set for instruments that
operate in the Key of C. Line two indicates that the standard for
Concert A is currently set to 440 Hz (Hertz) and that the global
pitch offset is set at “0" cents deviation. Line three shows the
current Image Clarifier setting. The items on line four always
indicate the current function of the menu-driven Function buttons
(1 through 4) below the LCD display and will be explained later in
the text.
INTRODUCTION
The
peterson
Strobe Center™ 5000 II is the most advanced tuning device ever developed. Precision
microprocessor digital and motor control technologies have been combined with the 12 individual strobe-wheel tuning
method to provide a versatile tuner with unsurpassed accuracy and features. The SC-5000 II is designed to be easier to read
and even simpler in operation than its predecessor, the SC-5000. It is designed to be used by music educators, musicians,
manufacturers, and for any tuning application where an accurate and versatile tuner is required. Musical instrument
maintenance professionals will appreciate the easy, intuitive procedures included for "stretch" tuning and simple methods
of storage and recall of any desired stretch or unequal temperament tuning ratio.
PREPARATION FOR USE
IMPORTANT PRECAUTION: The Model SC-5000 is designed to be used on either 100-130 or 200-260 Volt, 50/60 Hertz
AC power sources. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH LOCATED ON THE BACK
OF THE TUNER TO BE SET FOR THE PROPER VOLTAGE BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE LINE CORD...........
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE INSTRUMENT!
Check the setting of the voltage selector switch located on the back of the tuner. If it must be changed, use a small blade
screwdriver and rotate it so the white dot above "110" or "220" (depending upon which voltage you require) lines up with
the pointer. You may now plug the tuner line cord into the power outlet.
EASY TO USE GUIDE FOR BASIC EQUAL TEMPERAMENT TUNING
We will first give a summary of how to use the SC-5000 for basic tuning using the equal-tempered scale and A=440 Hz as
the pitch reference. We follow later in the instructions with the details of how to use the other features available on the tuner.
After you have checked the back of the Strobe Center 5000 as detailed above to verify that the voltage selector switch is set
to the correct position of 110 Volts AC or 220 Volts AC, connect the line cord to the AC outlet receptacle and follow these
easy steps to use the tuner.
Press the power switch located on the back panel of the tuner to ON (up position). The SC-5000 will take approximately
5 seconds to perform a self-check during the power-up cycle. During this self-diagnostic interval, the display panel will
indicate:
PETERSON
MODEL SC 5000 TUNER
REV # XXXX
SERIAL # XXXXXXXXXXX
At the conclusion of the power-up tests, all twelve tuning wheels will begin rotating and will flicker slightly due to random
noise in the room. The display panel will then
change to the normal Run Mode indication as
shown below:
KEY = C
A = 440 00 ¢
