50 Ω load. Without the load, the filter's frequency response and transient<br />
response are altered.<br />
1 MHz The 1MHz filter is of the same design as the 20 MHz filter, and the same<br />
remarks apply.<br />
100 kHz The 100kHz filter is an active filter with a 50 Ω output impedance. Transient<br />
and frequency response are independent of the load impedance.<br />
Overload<br />
When a signal, which could damage the <strong>DA</strong><strong>1855A</strong>, has been applied to either input connector, the<br />
<strong>DA</strong><strong>1855A</strong> protects itself by disconnecting the signal. The input coupling mode changes to OFF, and<br />
the OVERLOAD light is turned on.<br />
To reset the amplifier to normal operation, remove the offending input, press any of the input<br />
coupling modes (AC, OFF, or DC). The Overload light will turn off indicating the amplifier is reset.<br />
When the ATTENUATOR is set to ÷1, an input signal of approximately ±19 Volt will activate the<br />
overload protection circuit. Fast transients will draw up to about 70 mA of input current for a brief<br />
period before the input coupling relay acts to disconnect the input.<br />
CAUTION. Inputs in excess of 250 Volt may cause permanent damage to the <strong>DA</strong><strong>1855A</strong>.<br />
The input is not disconnected when the ATTENUATOR is set to ÷10. The input attenuator can<br />
withstand up to 200 Volt continuous input.<br />

Power<br />
Normal instrument operation is obtained with the power switch in the 1 (ON) position. The<br />
instrument can be used immediately, however it requires a 30 minute warm up period to reach<br />
specified performance. Prior to reaching operating temperature, the amplifier offset will drift and<br />
the output from the Precision Voltage Generator may not be within specification. In high humidity<br />
environments the time to stabilize may be much longer. In high humidity environments or when<br />
warm-up time inhibits power switch left in the 1 (ON) position.<br />
Power Up Indicator<br />
Upon turn-on, the model number and firmware version are briefly displayed in the PVG readout. For<br />
example, 1855.12 indicates that the instrument is a model <strong>DA</strong><strong>1855A</strong> and the firmware version is 1.2.<br />
