CAUTION. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage sampling module electrical
inputs and outputs.
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 workstation 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 80A02 EOS/ESD Protection Module if doing TDR work.
Do not drop the module since damage and misalignment of the photodiode optical
assembly can result.
Always store and transport modules in a static-free container, with all supplied
terminations installed.
To prevent loss of optical power or damage to the o ptical 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 transport or ship the instrument with the modules installed in the module
compartments.

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 remote module.
Installing the guide rails
Using the end plate
mounting holes
Attach the guide rail to a fixture (or 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
module onto the secured rail, engaging the tracks on the bottom of the remote
module. (S
NOTE. The tracks on the remote module and guide rails must be properly mated
to ensure a firm attachment. One track on the module is larger than the other. The
larger track must engage the ball plungers on the guide rail.
The end plate mounting holes also allow you to create a stable environment for
the remote modules. There is one hole in each module end plate: one in the front
end plate and one in the rear end plate. Youwillneedtoprovidethemounting
apparatus to use with these mounting holes.
The front and rear end plate spacing is 2.95 inches (75.0 mm) and the mounting
holes are located c o-a xially in line. (See Figure 1.) Each mounting hole is
eaded for a 4-40 machine screw to a depth of 0.38 inches (9.5 mm). The bottom
thr
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.
