Hi

Would anyone have a copy or link where I can download the service manual and a user manual for the above unit.

Regards

Bill

The only reference I can find is Thurlby Thandar themselves. I believe they will supply manuals on request. https://www.ttid.co.uk/support

Not a TG503?

Hi Bill,

The KO4BB site has the manual, though it is for the TG503 generator, as Andrew suggested:

Hi all

Well done, to the people that spotted my deliberate!!!!!!!!!! mistake.

Yes, it should have been TG503.

Many thanks, I will try the link and see how I get on.

Regards

Bill

HI orpanp1

I tried the site and have downloaded the 3 diagrams that were available, but there are no instructions for any adjustments if I want to calibrate or repair the unit.

it is just in case I need further information further down the line, I must also say that I have never used one of these before, the audio oscillator works OK, if I can find out more about the other functions, I might as well get the most out of it.

I will be contacting TTI but it will have to wait until next week.

Regards

Bill

Hi Bill,

If you get no help from Thandar regarding the manual, here is the full manual for the TG-502:

While that is a "lesser" generator, the principles of the operation and circuits are very similar of the two generators.

Reading a post on EEV blog Bill, I think you might already have what's available as it seems not even TTi have a copy.
