Manual Overview
The HP 8904A Multifunction Synthesizer service manual addresses an issue with certain units, specifically those with serial numbers 2948A04593 and 2948A04693, where the output waveforms from OUTPUT 1 are inverted due to an incorrectly wound audio transformer. This results in a 180-degree phase shift, most noticeably affecting the ramp waveform, which appears inverted. To troubleshoot, technicians should configure the unit to output a 1 kHz, 1 Volt ramp waveform and use an oscilloscope to verify if the waveform is inverted. If the inversion is confirmed and deemed problematic, the recommended corrective action is to replace the audio transformer (part number 9100-4833). This issue does not affect OUTPUT 2 waveforms. The manual emphasizes that Option 006/H16 is not displayed on the front panel LCD during an instrument preset, and verification requires checking the option label on the rear panel. The service note suggests immediate modification and estimates the repair time to be approximately one hour.
Quick Issues Covered
- Inverted waveform issue due to backward-wound audio transformer.
- Verify waveform inversion using oscilloscope on OUTPUT 1.
- Replace audio transformer T1 to correct phase shift issue.
