Power Source
This product is intended to operate from a power source that does not apply more than 250 V rms between the supply conductors or between either
supply conductor and ground. A protective ground connection, by way of
the grounding conductor in the power cord, is essential for safe operation.
Grounding the Product
This product is grounded through the grounding conductor of the power
cord. 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 con-
ductor in the power cord, is essential for safe operation.
Danger Arising From Loss of Ground
Upon loss of the protective-ground connection, all accessible conductive
parts, including knobs and controls that may appear to be insulating, can
render an electric shock.
Use the Proper Power Cord
Use only the power cord and connector specified for your product.
The power cord must be in good condition.
Read Section 1 for power-cord and connector information,
Use the Proper Fuse
To avoid fire hazard, use only a fuse of the correct type, voltage rating and
current rating as specified on the back of your product and in Table 6-1.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere
To avoid explosion, do not operate this product in an explosive atmosphere.

Introduction
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Description
The 2246 1Y and 2246 Mod A are 100 MHz, four-channel, dual-sweep,
portable oscilloscopes for general-purpose use (Figure 1-1). A
microprocessor-based operating system controls most of the functions in
the instruments, including a fully Integrated menu-driven voltage and time
measurement system with
provides for configuring of certain menu and readout displays, internal
calibration, and servicing diagnostics.

Introduction
The vertical deflection system has four input channels. Two channels have
11 basic deflection factors from 2 mV to 5 V per division, and two channels
have two basic deflection factors of 0.1 V and 0.5 V per division. Basic
deflection factors can be extended with attenuator probes. VOLTS/DIV
readouts are switched to display the correct vertical scale factors when
properly coded probes are connected to the vertical input connectors.
The horizontal deflection system provides single, dual, or delayed sweeps
from 0.5 s to 20 ns per division (delayed sweep, 5 ms to 20 ns per division).
The trigger system provides stable triggering over the full bandwidth of the
vertical deflection system.
Alphanumeric crt readouts of the vertical and horizontal scale factors are
displayed at the bottom of the screen. On-screen vertical and horizontal
cursors provide accurate voltage, time, frequency, and phase measure-
ments; measurement values are displayed at the top of the crt.
The measurement features include voltage measurements for +Peak,
-Peak, Peak-to-Peak, and average DC, or positionable cursors for
measuring voltage difference, time difference, frequency, and phase.
SmartCursors@ that visually track voltage measurements, trigger levels,
and ground can be placed on displayed waveforms. Delay-time and deltadelay measurements for time, frequency, and phase are available in ALT
and B Horizontal Modes.

Introduction
PREPARATION FOR USE
Safety
Refer to the Operators Safety Summary at the front of this manual for
power source, grounding, and other safety information about the use of the
instrument. Before connecting the 2246 1Y and 2246 Mod A to a power
source, read this section and the Safety Summary.
Line Fuse
This instrument can be damaged if the wrong line fuse is
installed.
Verify the proper value of the power-input fuse with the following
procedure,
1.
Press in the fuse-holder cap and release it with a slight counterclockwise rotation,
2. Pull the cap (with the attached fuse inside) out of the fuse holder.
3. Verify proper fuse value.
4.
Install the proper fuse and reinstall the fuse-holder cap.
Line Voltage and Power Cord
The 2246 1Y and 2246 Mod A operates on line voltages from 90 to 250 V
with line frequencies ranging from 48 to 440 Hz. No line voltage selecting is
necessary. Instruments are shipped with the power cord that was
requested on the order. The power cord must match the power-source
outlet; if it does not, contact your Tektronix representative or local
Tektronix Field Office. See Figure 1-2 for optional power cords available.
For electrical-shock protection, insert this plug into a powersource outlet that has a properly grounded protective-ground
contact.

Introduction
The detachable three-wire power cord has a three-contact plug for connection to the power source and the protective ground. The power cord is
held to the rear panel by a clamp. The protective ground contact on the
plug connects (through the power cord protective-ground conductor) to
the accessible metal parts of the instrument.
Instrument Cooling
To prevent instrument damage from overheated components, make sure
the internal airflow is not blocked. Before turning on the power, check that
the ventilation holes on the bottom and side of the cabinet are not covered.
Start-up
At power on, the instrument does a self-diagnostic check. If the instrument
does not turn on and operate normally, turn power off then on again. If the
instrument still does not turn on properly, refer the instrument to a qualified
service person. TRIGGER MODE LEDs may be flashing to indicate the circuit location of a start–up error; you should report this information to the
service person.
When the instrument is turned on, a self-cal routine may run to set the
voltage- and timing-measurement constants. The power-on self cal runs
only if the stored constants have been lost, possibly due to a dead memory
back-up battery. The following warning message will be displayed for 5
seconds: “WARNING PROBABLE BATTERY FAILURE TURN OFF AND ON
TO VERIFY”. If the message reappears after having turned the power off
and on, have the battery checked and/or replaced by a qualified service
person. The instrument can still be used for accurate measurements by
running the SELF CAL MEASUREMENTS routine from the SERVICE MENU
after the instrument has warmed up for at least 20 minutes.
To run the SELF CAL MEASUREMENTS routine, press the top and bottom
menu-item select buttons. Press down-arrow button to underline SELF
CAL MEASUREMENTS. Press RUN to start the routine, then QUIT or
CLEAR DISPLAY to return to the normal oscilloscope mode.
