ULS-2000 Instruction Manual
Operation:
The output of each function is made at the terminals as shown in Fig 4. All outputs are available simultaneously at
the same frequency. Select the frequency range and then fine tune the frequency using the Variable Frequency
Control Knob. Adjust the amplitude of the sine, triangle and Square wave using the Amplitude control.

Pre-Operation Check:
The output of the function generator can be observed by using an oscilloscope. Connect the outputs to the
oscilloscope being certain to connect GND to GND between the Oscilloscope and ULS-2000. The GND on the
ULS-2000 is common with the AC Power ground connection. Most oscilloscopes also have their input ground pin
common with the AC power ground of the oscilloscope. Please make sure that the grounds are connected properly.

Application:
The function generator can be used to generate input stimuli waveforms for all types of digital and analog circuits.
It should be noted however that for triggering TTL and compatible gates the negative portion of the square wave
should be removed. This can be accomplished by using a comparator or clipping circuit.

5-4: Data Switch (16 Channels)

Figure 5

Specifications:
Outputs: 0 or +5V (TTL) / +12V (CMOS) Break before make switches

Pre-Operation Check:
1. Connect the "0" Data switch to the DMM input.
2. Connect the GND to the DMM input.
3. Turn the selector switch to TTL output (+5V)
4. Set the "0" Data Switch to the "0" position and verify that the DMM reads approximately 0 volts.
5. Set the "0" Data Switch to the "1” position and verify that the DMM reads approximately +5 volts.
6. Repeat steps 1 - 4 for "1 “through "15" Data Switches.
7. Turn the selector switch to CMOS output (+12V)
8. Set the "0" Data Switch to the "0" position and verify that the DMM reads approximately 0 volts.
9. Set the "0" Data Switch to the "1” position and verify that the DMM reads approximately +12
volts.
10. Repeat steps 1 - 4 for "1 “through "15" Data Switches.

Applications:
The Data Switches "0" - "15" provide a logic high (+5V) / CMOS (+12V) or low (0 V) output which are
short circuit current limit protected. These switches are placed in an open circuit state condition when the
switch is activated. These switches can be used independently to provide a 1 or 0 logic state, or they can
be used together to represent an 8 bit byte, BCD or other coded input. And it’s also can be use to provide
CMOS outputs.

SECTION 6: MAINTANANCE
WARNING
Remove power prior for performing maintenance on equipment. Failure to do so can cause serious
injury to personnel.

Maintenance consists of fuse replacement, calibration adjustment procedures, and periodic cleaning. Performing the
calibration and adjustment procedures only by Authorized Service Engineer, otherwise the warranty will void.

CAUTION
The following procedures should only be performed by persons trained and qualified in electronics and
electronic equipment service. Do not attempt these procedures if not qualified.

6-1 : Fuse Replacement

1) Ensure AC power is disconnected from equipment.

2) Turn to back of ULS-2000 and locate the fuse package.

3) Open the fuse cover and remove the dysfunction fuse.

6-2 : Cleaning

The ULS-2000 can be cleaned with a dry, soft cloth to remove any oil, grease, or grime from the equipment.
Never use liquid solvents or detergents. If the equipment got wet for any reason, dry using low pressure air (less
than 25 PSI). Use care and caution around areas where water or air could enter the interior of the equipment while
drying.
