Controls & Indicators
The front-panel controls and indicators for the BH Precision Model 3011A Function Generator include:
1. PWR Switch: Turns the power on and off.
2. Range Selectors: Selects the frequency range, with seven ranges from 1 Hz to 1 MHz. Frequency can be adjusted from 0.2 to 2 times the selected range.
3. Function Selectors: Selects square, triangle, or sine waveform at the OUTPUT jack.
4. OUTPUT Jack: Provides the waveform selected by the function switches along with any superimposed DC OFFSET voltage.
5. VCF IN Jack: Voltage Controlled Frequency input for external sweep or frequency control.
6. OFFSET/PULL ADJ Control: Adjusts the DC offset. When pushed in, the offset is zero; when pulled out, clockwise rotation increases the offset positively, and counterclockwise decreases it negatively.
7. AMPL/PULL -20 dB Control: Controls the amplitude of the signal at the OUTPUT jack. Pulling out the control attenuates the signal by 20 dB.
8. DUTY/PULL INV Control: Adjusts the duty cycle of the main OUTPUT signal and the TTL/CMOS signal. Pulling out the control inverts the square wave and TTL/CMOS signal.
9. PUSH TTL/PULL CMOS: Selects between TTL and CMOS signals at the TTL/CMOS jack. Pushed in for TTL (fixed at 3 V p-p), pulled out for CMOS.
10. Frequency Control: Adjusts the frequency of the main output and TTL/CMOS output from approximately 0.2 to 2 times the selected range.

Safety & Warnings
Normal use of test equipment exposes users to dangers from electrical shock, as testing often occurs where exposed voltage is present. An electrical shock causing 10 milliamps of current through the heart can stop most human heartbeats. Voltage as low as 35 volts DC or AC RMS is considered dangerous and hazardous, as it can produce a lethal current under certain conditions. Higher voltages pose an even greater threat. To reduce risk, users should:
1. Avoid exposing high voltage unnecessarily. Remove housings and covers only when necessary and turn off equipment while making test connections in high-voltage circuits. Discharge high-voltage capacitors after removing power.
2. Familiarize themselves with the equipment being tested and the location of its high voltage points, but remember that high voltage may appear unexpectedly in defective equipment.
3. Use insulated floor material or a large, insulated floor mat to stand on, and an insulated work surface for equipment, ensuring these surfaces are not damp or wet.
4. Use the “one hand in the pocket” technique while handling an instrument probe, and avoid contacting nearby metal objects that could provide a ground return path.
5. Remember that AC line voltage is usually present on some power input circuits, such as the on-off switch, fuses, and power transformer, any time the equipment is connected to an AC outlet, even if the equipment is turned off.
6. Be aware that some equipment with a two-wire AC power cord, including some with polarized power plugs, is the “hot chassis” type, which includes most recent television receivers and audio equipment.
