These substitutions have not actually been used at dBx to verify satisfactory compliance with requirements for speed and accuracy. 1, Meter should respond to just the 200 Hz distortion component of a 100 Hz signal. Less desirable but allowable are meters which measure total harmonic distortion and automatically maintain a constant internal reference. Distortion adjustments in the 410/411 also affect the output level. 2, Analog meters are easier to use than digital meters in this application. If a digital wide range meter is used, a narrow range meter (listed later) is not required. 3, Tone Burst Generator should produce & cycles of 1 kiz signal at levels up to +10 abv followed by an off period equal in length to 128 cycles of 1 kiiz signal. Tt mst switch at zero crossings of the signal.410/411 Page 3 ” Introduction: The Model 410/411 card is a "mother board" that holds two 303B ar 303¢ Tyre 1, 12 V cards. The 411 and the 410 are the same design except that in the 411 a jumper exists where R53 is found in the 410. This resistor affects the output mpedance of the card. Experience has shown that the test procedure runs faster if the available lot of 410/411 cards is first tested with "shorting cards" installed. These cards are blank 303 cards with connectors wired with pins 2 and 6 shorted together. See Figure 3.
