General information
The Nagra E is particularly sturdy and simple to operate and service. It is designed to be adjustable and
serviceable in the field, thanks to its simple circuit design, component markings and the enclosed circuit diagram
indicating test points and voltages. Furthermore, the meter can be used as a voltmeter with the internally
provided test probe. A number of electronic components are enclosed for easy servicing.
The machine can be powered from either an external supply (ATN-4 Order # 70 14 378 000) or internal batteries
(12 D cells).
