The manual for the B&K Model 600 Dyna-Jet Tube Tester provides detailed instructions on setting up the device, including selecting the correct heater voltage and control positions for testing various types of tubes. It also covers operational procedures for testing tubes for shorts, quality, grid emission, and gas, as well as troubleshooting guidelines to identify defective tubes based on meter readings.
Manual Overview
The B&K Model 600 Dyna-Jet Tube Tester is designed to test a wide range of tubes used in radio, television, and other electronic equipment. It automatically checks for shorts and leakage up to one megohm, and performs sensitive grid current tests to detect grid emission, gas, and grid contamination. The tester uses a neon lamp to indicate shorts or leakages, and the grid emission test circuit is designed to reveal even minimal current in the grid circuit. For calibration, the heater voltage must be set according to the tube type, as indicated in the chart provided with the instrument. The tester includes controls labeled “A”, “B”, and “C”, which must be set to specific positions for each tube type. The grid emission test is conducted by depressing a dedicated button, and a meter deflection into the reject area indicates a defective tube. The quality test is performed by pressing the Quality button, with results shown on a Good-Bad meter scale. Proper operation requires setting the heater switch to the correct filament voltage before inserting the tube to avoid damage.
Quick Issues Covered
- Diagnose shorts with neon lamp indicator for Model 600.
- Adjust grid emission sensitivity for accurate tube testing.
- Use schematics for tracing grid emission and gas current issues.

Operation
The Dyna Jet Model 600 Tube Tester is designed to test commonly used tubes in radio and television sets, as well as various voltage regulator, thyratron, industrial, and European types of tubes. It automatically checks for shorts and leakage, tests grid emission and gas, and evaluates the quality of tubes under simulated operating conditions. The tester operates on 105-125 volts, 50-60 cycle A.C. and is ready for use when plugged into an A.C. socket. To test a tube, the user must look up the tube type in the chart provided, set the heater switch to the correct voltage, and adjust the “A”, “B”, and “C” controls as indicated. The tube is then inserted into the appropriate socket for testing. The tester performs a grid to cathode shorts and leakage test automatically, and additional tests for grid emission and quality are conducted by pressing the corresponding buttons and observing the meter readings.
