The B&K Precision Model 606 Tube Tester manual provides detailed instructions for setting up and operating the device, including testing various types of tubes for shorts, leakage, grid emission, and quality under simulated operating conditions. It also includes troubleshooting guidance, such as using a neon lamp to detect shorts and employing a sensitive grid current check to identify issues like grid contamination and gas presence.
Manual Overview
The B&K Precision Model 606 Tube Tester is designed to test a wide range of tubes used in radio, television, and hi-fi equipment, including voltage regulator and thyratron tubes. It automatically checks for shorts and leakage up to one megohm, using a neon lamp indicator for shorts detection. The tester evaluates grid emission, gas, and grid contamination through a sensitive grid current check, revealing issues with as little as 2 to 3 microamperes of current. Each section of multi-section tubes is tested separately, and the quality test assesses cathode emission under load conditions to simulate actual operation. The grid emission and gas test circuit employs a 5.6 megohm resistor to detect current flow from grid to plate, indicating contamination or gas presence. For operation, users refer to a chart to set heater voltage and control positions before inserting the tube into the appropriate socket. This process ensures accurate diagnostics and identification of defective tubes requiring replacement.
Quick Issues Covered
- Diagnoses grid emission and gas issues in electron tubes.
- Tests for shorts and leakage using a neon lamp indicator.
- Includes schematics for circuit tracing and troubleshooting.

Basic Usage and Operation Tips
Before use, ensure the device is properly calibrated and the battery is fully charged. Connect the test leads to the appropriate input terminals based on the measurement type. Select the desired measurement mode using the function dial. For accurate readings, avoid touching the metal parts of the probes during measurement. When measuring current, always connect the meter in series with the circuit. Use the hold function to freeze the displayed value if needed for easier reading.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance
If the device fails to power on, check and replace the battery if necessary. In case of erratic readings, inspect the test leads for damage or loose connections. Clean the device regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures. For calibration or repair, refer to the service manual and contact authorized service centers to maintain accuracy and safety.
Safety Reminder
Always follow proper safety procedures when working with electrical equipment. Ensure the device is rated for the voltage and current levels being tested. Avoid measuring live circuits beyond the specified limits to prevent electric shock or damage. Disconnect power before connecting or disconnecting test leads, and never use the device if it appears damaged or malfunctioning.
