To avoid electrical shock, plug the power cord into a properly wired receptacle before making any connections to the product input or output terminals. ‘A protective ground connection by way of the grounding ‘conductor in the power cord is essential for safe operation. Danger Arising from Loss of Ground Upon loss of the protective-ground connection, all accessi- ble conductive parts (inciucing knobs and controls that may appear to be insulated) can render an electric shock. Use the Proper Power Cord Use only the power cord and connector specified for your product, Use only a power cord that is in good condition, For detailed information on power cords and connectors, see Table 2-1 Use the Proper Fuse To avoid fire hazard, use only a fuse of the correct type, voltage rating and current rating as specified in the parts list for your product. Do Not Operate in Explosive Atmospheres To avoid explosion, do not operate this instrument in an explosive atmosphere unless it has been specifically certified for such operation, ‘Do Not Remove Covers or Panels ‘To avoid personal injury, do not remove the product cov- fs oF panels. Do not operate the instrument unless the covers and panels are propetly installed. ‘2445A/2455A Service SERVICING SAFETY SUMMARY FOR QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY Refer also to the preceding Operators Safety Summary. Do Not Service Alone Do not perform internal service or adjustment of this pro- ‘duct unless another person capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation is present. Use Care When Servicing With Power On Dangerous voltages exist at several ponts in this product. To avoid personal injury, do not touch exposed connec- tions or components while power is on. vi Disconnect power before removing protective panels, ‘soldering, or replacing components. Power Source This product is intended to operate from a power source that does not apply more than 250 volts rms between the supply conductors or between either supply conductor and ground. A protective grourd connection by way of the ‘grounding conductor in the power cord is essantial for safe operation. Section 1—2445A/2455A Service SPECIFICATION INTRODUCTION The TEKTRONIX 24458 and 2455A Oscilloscopes are portable 150-MHz and 250-MHz bandwidth instruments having four-channel vertical deflection systems. Channel 1 and Channel 2 provide calibrated defiection factors from 2 mV per division to 5 V per division. For each of these channels, input impedance is selectable between two values: either 1 MQ in parallel with 15 pF, or 50-0 internal termination. Input-signal coupling with 1-M® impedance can be selected as either AC or DC. Channel 3 and Chan- rel 4 have deflection factors of either 2.1 V oF 0.5 V per division. Each of these channels has an input impedance of 1 M® in parallel with 15 pF, wih DC input-signal ‘coupling. The trigger system works automatically for most sig- ‘nals. They operate in various modes, from any channel, with’ couplings for a wide range of sgnals. The 2445 trigger system gives stable displays fram dc to 250 MHz. ‘The 245SA trigger system gives stable displays from dc to 500 MHz. ‘The horizontal deflection system provides calibrated ‘sweep speeds from 1.5 s per division to 1 ns per division, Induding the effects of the X10 magnifier and the call brated variable between the 1-2-5 steps. Horizontal displays include A Sweep, 8 Sweep (dotyyed), A alternated with B, and CH 1 (for X/Y displays). ‘The AUTO, SAVE, and RECALL features save time and prevent errors. Pressing the AUTO Seiup button gives a ‘workable setup for almost any signal. For repetitive mea- ‘surements, the Save and Recall functions record and Immediately or sequentially restore as many as 30 instru- ‘ment setups. The SETUP buttons operate all instrument functions, including the extended function options. Direct, on-screen readouts of time measurements, vot- ‘age measurements, scale factors, trigger levels, and auxil- ary Information also save time and improve operator confidence. The instruments are shpped with the following stan- dard accessories: Probe packages ‘Snap-iock accessories pouch Zip-lock accessories pouch Operators manual Power cord (installed) 2A, 250-V fuse Clear plastic CRT fiter Blue plastic CRT fiter (installed) Front-panel cover Operators pocket reference card For part numbers and further information about both standard and optional acoessories, refer to "Options and ‘Accessories’ (Section 7) of the instrument's Operators manual or the Accessories information at the rear of this manual. Your Tektronix representative or local Tektronix Field Otfice can also provide accessories information and ‘ordering assistance. PERFORMANCE CONDITIONS The following electrical characteristics (Tables 1-1 through 1-5) are valid for the instrument when it has been adjusted at an ambient temperature between +20°C and +30°C, has had a warm-up period of at least 20 minutes, and is operating at an ambient temperature between 16°C and +55°C (unless otherwise noted). Items listed in the "Performance Requirements” column define the measurement capabilties of the instruments. ‘Supplementary measurement conditions may also be listed in the “Performance Requirements” column. Mechanical characteristics are listed in Table 1-6. Environmental characteristics are given in Table 1-7 ‘The oscilloscope meets the environmental requirements of MIL-T-28800C for Type Il, Class 3, Style C equipment, with the humidity and temperature requirements defined in paragraphs 3.9.2.2, 3.9.2.3, and 3.9.2.4.
