It is recommended that the primary and backup sync sources be identically
configured. If the two sync source generators have significantly different
configuratio
power.
To underst
sync sources, the sync signals will fail as the power supples on the generators turn
off. If the signal output from one of the sync generators is maintained longer,
then the ECO8000 Series may detect one input as good and the other as bad and
switch to the “good” sync source.
This might happen if the backup sync generator has only a few black outputs,
but the primary sync generator has many blacks, audio and SDI signal outputs.
The difference in the number of outputs loading the power supplies will make
the pri
detect the primary source as failed while the backup is still working, resulting in
a source switch.
The ECO8000 Series detects the loss of AC power and inhibits source switching to
mitigate this issue. However, it can still occur in extreme cases. If it is necessary
to have differently configured sync generators on the primary and backup inputs,
it is recommended that you thoroughly test the loss of power condition during the
system qualification testing.
ns, it may cause a source switch when both of the sync sources lose
and this, consider the following scenario. If power is cut to both of the

Usi

Testing the backup source
The ECO8000 Series has the ability to connect two instruments so that they
function as a single larger switch. This function is useful in situations where
more channels are needed than can be supported using only one instrument. One
nstrument operates as a master unit and the other as a slave unit.
i
A slave unit may change state if the master unit is changed from master to
isabled or if the interconnection cable is removed. It is recommended that
d
you configure the master and slave units during system setup and that you not
change the configuration while the instrument is in operation. To help enforce this
recommendation, the ECO8000 Series must b e in Manual mode before you can
change the state of the expansion port. (See page 35, Configure the Expansionport.)
Tektronix recommends that you test the backup sync source every 6 months. The
ECO8000 Series keeps track of the last time the source was changed from primary
to backup and visa-versa. If it has been more that 6 months since a source switch,
then an event will be entered in the Event Log. You can also configure any of the
reporting methods (SNMP trap, e-mail, GPI signal, instrument beeper) to generate
an output when the backup test is due. (See page 83, EVENT submenus.)

Signal connec
tions
Before you connect signals to the ECO8000 Series, create a table similar to the
one shown below so that you can plan which signals need to connect to which
channels on t
he ECO8000 Series.
Table 4: Example plan for connecting signals to an ECO8000
Channel type connection guidelines. When connecting signals to the instrument,
use the following guidelines:
Use REF (ELSW) channels to connect non-SDI signals
Use HREF (Relay) channels to connect SDI signals
You can connect non-SDI signals to HREF (Relay) channels. However, there will
be a sync interruption when p rimary/backup source switches occur.
Recommended tools. The ECO8020 uses HD BNC connectors. Due to the
tight spacing between co nnectors, it is recommended that you use a HD BNC
installation/removal tool to connect or disconnect cables on these connectors.
Listed below is one source where you can obtain this tool.

The ECO8000 Series has three main subsystems:
Channel Control system
Configuration and Monitoring system
Redundant Power system
These thre
main ECO function, which is sensing faults on the input signals and switching to
a backup if necessary.
e subsystems are loosely coupled to assume maximum reliability of the
Channel Control system
The Channel Control system monitors the level on each input, and switches to the
other sync source if a fault occurs. This subsystem is implemented as a simple
hardware state machine to maximize reliability. This portion of the instrument is
accessed via the left keyboard, and the status is displayed on the button lights and
the per-channel LEDs on the front panel.
If the instrument is in AUTO mode, then the Channel Control system locks out
any changes from the other subsystems. This prevents most issues in the other
bsystems from impacting the basic operation of the ECO.
su
When the instrument powers on, the Channel Control system restores all basic
onfiguration settings that were in place when the instrument was powered off.
c
This restoration is independent of the processor booting to run the display and
the Configuration and Monitoring system. If the Configuration and Monitoring
system is rebooted, the Channel Control system is unaffected.
If the instrument loses power, the REF/ELSW channels will automatically switch
from electronic to relay mode to maintain the signal throughput. These channels
will automatically switch back to electronic mode when power is restored. When
the REF/ELSW channels switch from electronic mode to relay mode and back,
the sync on these channels will experience a momentary glitch.

The Redundant Power system monitors each Power Supply module (Option DPW

supply has a problem. This subsystem is independent of the other two systems.
The Configuration and Monitoring system can set some parameters in the
Redundant Power system and display its status.
The channel configuration for the ECO is done in MANUAL mode. When the
system is fully configured, and all channels in use show green status LEDs and
good signal margin, switch the instrument to AUTO mode. When the instrument
is in AUTO mode, the channel configuration is disabled and the system will react
to input signal faults. In AUTO mode, monitoring can be done locally via the
LCD or remotely via the Web Interface with no risk of accidental changes that
would impact the basic ECO operation.

the supplies, including the internal fans and which of the supplies is currently
powering the instrument.
If the instrument loses power from both supplies, the LEDs continue to provide
status to help troubleshoot the root of the problem. In this mode, the LEDs flash
to conserve the power in the storage capacitor. Typically the LED flashing should
last for 10 minutes after the loss of power.
If both of the supplies are good, the system will use the supply that is configured
to be the preferred (active) supply. If one power supply has a p roblem, the system
will switch to the other supply. If either supply c an support the instrument load,
even if it

To enable the Expansion port function, you need to configure one ECO as the

menu. (See page 68.) Both instruments must be connected together via the
rear-panel EXPANSION port connectors using a standard Ethernet RJ-45 cable.

If the Expansion port connection between two instruments is disconnected, the

to disabled or if the interconnection cable is removed.
It is recommended that you configure the master and s lave units during system

Likewise, if a fault occurs on a slave unit signal, only the GPI output on the slave

If you want to have a common GPI output for the connected instruments, the
two GPI signals can be connected together. The GPI outputs are open with a

The standard instrument has one Power Supply module installed. With Option

provided. Wh
module is configured as the primary supply and the other is configured as the
backup supply.
In the event that the primary supply fails, the backup supply automatically
provides power to maintain instrument operation. You can remove and replace
a failed supply without having to remove the instrument from operation. (See
page 39, To hot-swap a Power Supply module.)
If you need to remove one of the two supplies for repair and you do not have a
replacement supply available, be sure to install a blank power supply cover into
the empty power supply slot (Tektronix part number 333-4724-XX).
The status of the Power Supply modules can be viewed from the front of the
instrument. On the front panel, the AC and DC indicators illuminate using v arious
colors to show the status of the Power Supply modules. (See page 25, Power

TWH calculation method. When the outside air temperature is at 25 °C or
cooler, the Power Supply module is expected to last 15 years. As the outside air
temperature rises to the maximum operating temperature of 50 °C, the expected
life of the supply decreases to 5 years. Every hour, the instrument measures the
supply temperature and increments the temperature weighted hours count in
response to the measured tempera ture.
When the TWH value reaches a value of 131,400 hours, then an e ntry will be
made in the Event Log and notifications will be sent using the enabled reporting
methods (SNMP trap, e-mail, GPI signal, instrument beeper).
NOTE. When two Power Supply modules are installed, the active supply runs
warmer than the backup supply. Therefore, the TWH of the active supply will
increase faster than the backup supply.

The recommended usage strategy is to configure one supply as preferred, and use
the second supply only in case the first supply has a failure. This usage strategy
allows the backup supply to have the maximum remaining life when it is needed.
The preferred supply configuration is not set as part of the Hardware Initialization

2. Check the temperature weighted hours of the installed supplies:
NOTE. It is recommended that you configure the supply with the most temperature
