RF analog counter Aceco FC1003

Description:

FC1003 hand-held frequency counter is probably the best value ever, even advanced features such as field
strength measurement  is incorporated. It is compact, truly pocket-sized, test instrument designed for ease of use and
dependable performance. Supplied as a complete with internal NiCd pack, AC wall charger and 7 section telescopic
antenna.

Controls
1.  Power Switch - This slide switch turns the counter on and initiates a 2 second test of all the LCD segments.
2.  Range Switch - This should be switched to the 300 MHz position for frequencies between 1 MHz and 300 MHz and
switched to the 3 GHz position for frequencies between 10 MHz and 3 GHz.
3.  Filter Switch – This slide switch turns the filter on and off.
4.  Hold Button - This holds the current display and stops the counter from counting.
5.  Gate Button - This selects the gate or measurement time. A longer gate time allows counting for longer period and
results in higher accuracy.
6.  Calibration - The calibration adjustment opening is located on the front panel of the counter. This allows access to the
trimmer capacitor that provides about a 10 PPM adjustment range of the time base oscillator. This is not usually
necessary but to do so read a signal of a known frequency before adjusting the trimmer for correct frequency display.
If you calibrate at 4.1943 MHz or above then the counter will be more accurate

1. NiCd Operation
This frequency counter can operate for up to six hours from its fully charged NiCd batteries. They are charged when the
unit is plugged into the supplied AC/DC adapter. Full recharge will occur over 12 to 16 hours. Before recharging the
batteries you should be deep cycled occasionally by allowing them to completely discharge to maintain maximum battery
capacity. The NiCd batteries should last for several years. However, it is a good idea to check them every twelve months
for signs of corrosion or leakage. Always replace the whole set if any one cell fails.
2.   Signal Input
When using the counter with an antenna for signal pick up, random frequencies may appear on the display. This is quite
normal and is caused by the high gain of the receiver circuits, which amplify noise in the absence of a strong readable
signal. Never get the unit too close to a transmitter as internal damage will result.
3. Antenna Selection
The supplied telescopic antenna is best for general purpose use. This is because its length can be adjusted to suit the
frequency required. Usually you will want a shorter antenna for UHF and a fully extended one for VHF / HF.
4.   Reception Distance From Transmitter
The distance from which you will be able to receive frequencies will depend upon the type and location of the transmitting
antenna, transmitter output power and the frequency in use.
Some typical distances are:
Cordless Phone 0.3 meters
Cellular Phone 3 - 20 m
CB radio 2 - 8 m
VHF Two Way Radio 3 - 30 m
UHF Two Way Radio 3 - 30 m
