P6701B, P6703B, and P6723 Service Manual 1
P6701B and P6703B Specifications
The specificationsin Tables 1 through 3 apply to a P6701B or P6703B O/E
converter.The converter must have a warm-up period of at least 20 minutes and
be in an environment that does not exceed the limits described in Table 1.
Specificationsfor the P6701B and P6703B O/E converters fall into three
categories: warranted, typical, and nomi nal characteristics.

WarrantedCharacteristics

Warrantedcharact eristics (Table 1) describes guaranteed performance within
tolerancelimits or certain type-tested requirements. Warrantedcharacteristics
that have checks in the Performance Verification section of the servicemanual
(070-9892-XX)are marked with the nsymbol.
