How to handle modules to prevent electrostatic damage
CAUTION. Electrostatic discharge (ESD ) can damage sampling module
electrical inputs and outputs. Observe the following guidelines to prevent
ESD:
Always use a grounded wrist strap (provided with your instrument) when
installing or removing modules from the mainframe and when connecting
cables.
Wear anti-static clothing and work in a static-free are when using sampling
modules.
Discharge cables to ground before connecting them to modules.
Do not create an ESD antenna by leaving cables attached to the
sampling-module input with the other end of the cable open.
Use a Tektronix 80A09 26 GHz ESD Protection Device (one per channel),
and/or an 80A02 EOS/ESD Isolation Module, when using an 80E04
electrical sampling module for TDR measurements.
Always store and transport modules in a static-free container, with all
supplied terminations installed.
Do not transport or ship the instrument with the modules installed in the
module compartments.

Operating basics
Using the module to take measurements
This module is a part of a larger instrument system. Sampling module
settings, such as bandwidth or signal standard, vertical scaling, and
horizontal sampling rate, are set fro m the main instrument controls.
The parameters available depend on the modules installed in the
instrument. See the instrument documentation for information on taking
measurements.
Module controls and indicators
The SELECT ON/OF button turns on or off a channel. On
two-channel modules, this button also selects the active channel
when both are enabled.
The channel LED is on when a channel is active (acquiring a s ignal)
or enabled (available but not acquiring). The LED is OFF when
that channel is inactive (turned off).
The TDR indicator LED (on supported electrical modules) indicates
when that channel is enabled for TDR measurements. The main
instrument turns this LED on or off.
The TekProbe connector (on supported electrical modules) provides
power and control to attached remote accessories that require
TekProbe SMA support at levels 1 and 2.

CAUTION. To prevent loss of optical power or damage to the optical
connectors, keep the connectors clean at all times. Check that all
connectors, jumpers, and protective caps are clean before connecting them
to the module.
Do not drop an o ptical module, as doing so can cause damage and
misalignment of the photodiode optical assembly.

instrument) when installing modules in the mainfr ame, handling
modules, or making connections.
Make sure to discharge all electrical signal cables or connectors to
ground before attaching them to the module. To discharge a cable,
touch the center pin of the coaxial cable to a grounded co nductor (such
as the outside ground co nductor of an electrical connector) just before
connecting the cable to the module.
Tighten and loosen electrical SMA connectors using the correct size
torque wrench, set to 56 N-cm (5 in-lb), or the torque setting valid for
the connection type. (See p age 25, Electrical connector torque settings.)
NOTE. Use 50 Ω SMA terminations, provided with the module, on all
unused electrical connectors.
Remote module mounting
Remote electrical modules have both guide rails and end plate mounting
holes. Use either or both features to create a stable environment for the
remote modules. One guide rail is provided with each rem ote module.
Installing the guide rails
Attach the guide rail to a fixture (o r desktop) using the two mounting
screws (provided). The holes in the fixture must have 4-40 threaded
holes spaced 1.25 inches (31.8 mm) apart (measured from center of
hole). Slide the remote modu le onto the secured rail, engaging the
tracks on the bottom of the remote module. (See Figure 1.)

The front and rear end plate spacing is 2.95 inches (75.0 m m) and the
mounting holes are located co-axially in line. (See Figure 1.) Each
mounting hole is threaded for a 4-40 machine screw to a depth of
0.38 inches (9.5 mm). The bottom of the mounting holes are closed in
order to prevent accidental damage to the internal circuits of the remote
module from the machine screws.
CAUTION. Do not use machine screws in the end plate mounting holes that
can protrude deeper than 0.38 inches (9.5 mm). Such screws may bottom
out in the closed mounting holes and damage the screw threads or break off.
