Input Power
Connect the included power supply to the power input of the Sine Wave Generator. Slide the
ON/OFF switch to the right to turn it on.
Output Power
Connect a device such as a speaker or string vibrator to the output jacks of the Sine Wave
Generator with a pair of 4 mm banana patch cords. Both jacks produce AC signals with opposite
phases, so polarity is not important. (Note that the outputs do not float with respect to ground.)
If the Sine Wave Generator is connected to a short-circuit, the unit’s short-circuit protection will
shut off the output. Remove the short and cycle the input power to restore it.
Mounting and Storage
You can use the built-in clamp on the back of the unit to mount the Sine Wave Generator on a
vertical rod, as shown. Rod mounting makes the display more visible for demonstrations and
allows you to position the controls
conveniently when you set up an
experiment.
For storage, recessed dimples in the top
of the case align with the feet on the
bottom, allowing several units to be
stacked as shown.
