Same as the DC-coupled limits for frequen-
cies above 60 Hz. Attenuates signals below
60 Hz.
Three times the DC-coupled limits.
One and one-half times the DC-coupled
limits from DC to 30 kHz. Attenuates signals
above 30 kHz.
One and one-half times the DC-coupled
limits for frequencies above 80 kHz.
Attenuates signals below 80 kHz.
