Controls & Indicators
The front-panel controls and indicators for the Model 3010 Function Generator are as follows:
1. POWER on-off switch: Depressing this button turns the 3010 on. To turn off, push again and release.
2. RANGE selectors: Decade frequency type. Multiplying the range selected times the FREQUENCY dial indication gives the output frequency, which applies for all functions.
3. FUNCTION selectors: Select square, sine, or triangle output waveform which appears at 600 ohm OUTPUT jack.
4. AMPLITUDE control: Controls the amplitude of the output signal, which appears at 600 ohm jack. This control does not apply to the DC OFFSET voltage or to the TTL output.
5. DC OFFSET control: Adds positive or negative DC component to the signal appearing at 600 ohm OUTPUT jack. Continuously variable for ±5 V (600 ohms) or ±10 V (open circuit). The DC component added by this control is independent of the adjustment of AMPLITUDE control.
6. FREQUENCY dial: Used in conjunction with the RANGE selectors to determine the output frequency.

Safety & Warnings
Normal use of test equipment exposes you to danger from electrical shock, especially when testing where exposed voltage is present. An electrical shock causing 10 milliamps of current through the heart can be lethal. Voltage as low as 35 volts can be hazardous. To reduce risk, follow these precautions:
1. Avoid exposing high voltage unnecessarily. Remove housings and covers only when necessary. Turn off equipment when making test connections in high-voltage circuits and discharge capacitors after removing power.
2. Use insulated floor material or a large, insulated floor mat to stand on, and an insulated work surface. Ensure surfaces are not damp or wet. Wear heavy gloves if insulated floor surfaces are unavailable.
3. Use the “one hand in the pocket” technique while handling an instrument probe to avoid contacting nearby metal objects that could provide a ground return path.
4. Use an isolation transformer to power transformerless “hot chassis” equipment to prevent dangerous shock hazards and potential damage to test instruments.
5. Use only a 3-wire outlet for test instruments or equipment with a 3-wire ac power plug to keep exposed elements at earth ground.
6. Familiarize yourself with the equipment being tested and the location of its high voltage points, but remember high voltage may appear unexpectedly in defective equipment.
7. Remember that ac line voltage is present on some power input points even when equipment is turned off.
8. Never work alone. Someone should be nearby to render aid if necessary. Training in CPR is highly recommended.

Safety Reminder
Always follow proper safety protocols when working with electrical equipment. Do not exceed the maximum input limits specified in the manual. Avoid measuring live circuits if you are unsure of the procedure, and always disconnect power before connecting or disconnecting test leads. Use personal protective equipment as necessary to prevent electric shock or injury.
