• Notes

• The Solar Capacitor Exam-eter provides service men and laboratories with an analyzer, that combines in one instrument a convenient and simple method of making a complete analysis of condensers under either static or dynamic conditions of operation. 

  Condensers may be tested for capacity, leakage, insulation resistance, power factor, opens, shorts, intermittents, and RF impedance.  Also with the full development of the quick-check features plus the bridge-meter, we find it possible to present an instrument which will give every qualitative measurement of capacitors necessary in modern servicing by means of a simple meter reading.  It tells the complete performance story of all types of paper, mica, electrolytic, trimmer, and air condensers. Checking for quality is done under conditions of   either static or dynamic performance; the condenser under test may be operating in a circuit, or it may be disconnected.

  In addition, a vacuum tube voltmeter is provided for measurements of circuit voltage to determine the required voltage rating of the condenser under test. The VT Voltmeter can be used for aligning RF circuits, checking AVC voltages. and checking output levels and signal voltages at various points throughout the receiver.

  (Model CE 1-60 is designed for operation at 110 VAC and 60 cycles (Hertz).) 

  A similar unit, Model CE-2-U can be operated from 120, 165, or 240 volts 25-60 cycles (Hertz).
