 SA FE TY
R efer to the "O perators Safety Summary" at the front of
this manual for powe r source, grounding, and ot her safety
considerations pertai ning to the u se of the 2213 Α. B efore
connecting the instrument to α power so urce, carefully read
the following about li ne voltages, p owe r cords, and fuses .

L I NE VO LTAG E
The inst rument is capa ble of continuous operation using
input voltages that r ange from 90 V to 250 V nominal at
fre qu encies from 48 H z to 440 H z.

POWER CO R D
Α d etac hable t hree-wire power co rd with α three-con tact
plug is provided with each instrument to pe rmit connection
to both t he power source and protective ground. The p lug
protective-ground contact connects (through t he protective-
grou nd co nductodto the accessible metal p arts of the instru-
ment. For electrical-shock protection, insert this plug only
into α power outlet that has α securely grou nded protective-
grou nd contact .

This inst ru men t is shipped with the requ ired powe r cord
as or dered by the customer . Available powe r-cord informa-
tion is ill ust rated in Figure 2-1, an d part numbers are listed in
Section 5 of this ma nual . Contact your Tektronix represen-

The instrument fuse h olier is k)cated on the rear panel
(see F igure 2-2) and contains the line fu se . The following
procedure ca n be used to verify that the proper fuse is in-
stalled or to install α replacement fuse . 4. Verify proper fuse value (1 .0 Α, 250 V, slow b low) .

CH 1 V OLTS/DIV a nd CH 2 VOLTS/DIV Switches-
Used to select the vertical deflection factor in α 1-2-5
sequence . To obtain α calibrated d eflection factor, the
V OLTS/DIV variable control must be in the calibrated
(CAL) d etent (fully clockwise) .
1X-Indicates the deflection factor selected when
using either α 1 Χ probe or α coaxial cable.
10Χ PROBE-Indicates t he deflection factor se-
lected when using α 10 Χ probe.
VOLTS/DIV Variable Controls-When rotated coun-
terclockwise out of their calibrate d detent positions,
these controls provide continuously variable,
uncalibrated deflection factors between the calibrated
settings of the VOLTS/DIV switches .
POSITION Controls-Use d to vertically p osition the
display on the crt. When t he SEC/DIV switch is set to
Χ-Υ, the Channel 2 POSITION control moves the dis-
play vertically (Y-axis), and t he H orizontal POSITION
control moves the d isplay h orizontally (X-axis) .
j2 Input Coupling (AC-GND-DC) Switches-Three-po-
sition switches that select the method of cou p ling the
input signals to the instrument d eflection system .
AC-Input signal is capacitively coupled to the ver-
tical amplifier. The do component of the input sig-
nal is b locked . Low-fre q uency limit (-3 dB point) is
approximately 10 Hz .
G ND-The input of the vertical amplifier is
grounded to p rovide α zero (ground) reference-volt-
age dis play ( d oes not ground the input signal). This
switch position allows precharging the input cou-
pling ca p acitor .
DC-All frequency components of the input signal
are cou p led to the vertical deflection systems.
Ί3 CH 1 OR Χ a n d CH 2 OR Υ Input Connectors-
Provide for application of external signals to the verti-
cal d eflection system or for an Χ-Υ display. In the Χ-Υ
mode (SEC/DIV switch set to Χ-Υ), the signal con-
nected to the CH 1 OR Χ input connector p rovides
horizontal deflection (X-axis) and the signal connecte d
to the CH 2 OR Υ input connector provides vertical
deflection (y-axis) .
j4 VERTICAL MODE Switches-Two three-position
switches and two button switches are used to select
the mo d e of operation for the vertical amplifier
system .
CH 1-Selects only the Channel 1 in put signal for
display.
BOTH-Selects b oth Channel 1 and Channel 2 in-
put signals for display. The CH 1-BOTH-CH 2
switch must be in the BOTH position for either
ADD, ALT, or CHOP operation .
CH 2-Selects only the Channel 2 input signal for
display.
ADD-Displays the algebraic sum of the Channel 1
and C hannel 2 inp ut signals.
ALT-Alternately dis plays Channel 1 an d Channel
2 input signals . The alternation occurs d uring re-
trace at the en d of each sweep . This mode is useful
for viewing b oth input signals at sweep speeds
from 0.05 )us per division to 0.2 ms per division .
CHOP-The display switches between the Chan-
nel 1 and Channel 2 input signals during the
sweep. The switching rate is approximately
500 kHz. This mode is useful for viewing b oth
Channel 1 and Channel 2 input signals at sweep
 s peeds from 0.5 ms p er division to 0.5 s pe r
division.
BW LIMIT-Wh en pr essed in, this button switch
limits the b andwidth of the vertical am plifier and the
Trigger system to approximately 10 MHz. Bu tton
must b e pressed α seco nd time to release it and
regain full 60 MH z bandwidth operation. Provides α
meth od fo r reducing interference from h ig h-fre-
que ncy signals when viewing low-frequency
signals.

play when button is presse d i n. Button must b e
pr essed in α second time to release it and regain α
noni nverted display.

INTEN S- Horizontal deflection is provided by the

selected .
DLY'D- Horizontal deflection is provided by the
sweep generator at α sweep speed determined by
the SEC/DI V switch setting. The start of the swee p
