Battery Recycling
This product contains a Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) battery, which must
be recycled or disposed of properly. For the location of a local
battery recycler in the U.S. or Canada, please contact:
Please read the following statements before using your new SDA 601
Serial Digital Analyzer . See the rest of this section for tips on supplying power, making preliminary settings, and connecting the instrument.
WARNING. Install or replace batteries only with the instrument
switched OFF and the AC adapter disconnected. Electrical shock or
equipment damage can result.
CAUTION. Do not attempt to operate the SDA 601 with an impr oper
AC adapter. Damage to the instrument can result.
For best results, use the AC adapter supplied with the instrument. If
the supplied adapter is incorrect for the local AC power supply, contact your nearest Tektronix representative.
The adapter voltage must be 9 to 15 VDC with an open-circuit voltage
less than 18 VDC; the adapter connector must have the negative (–)
polarity contact in the center .
NOTE. Internal batteries are recommended when using an external
power adapter. A loose adapter connector can cause the loss of some
user settings and unexpected results the next time the instrument is
powered on.
The battery type, disposable or rechargeable, must be selected using
through the Utility menu (see page 10). Failure to select the proper
battery type can result in damage to the batteries and product.
Replace the batteries only with standard AA batteries (1.2–1.5 V,
nominal), or the Tektronix rechargeable battery pack listed on page 45.
For more information, please contact your nearest Tektronix representative or field office. In the United States and Canada, you can also
call the Tektronix information number, 1-800-TEK-WIDE
(1-800-835-9433), between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm Pacific time.

Getting Started
Supplying Power
The SDA 601 is DC powered. You may power it with the standard AC
adapter, the optional 9.6 V NiCad battery pack, eight standard AA
batteries, or a “BP” type battery pack with the correct voltage and polarity. The external DC power connector is on the left side of the
instrument.
Figure 1: Opening the Battery Compartment
To install AA batteries or the battery pack, open the battery compartment of the SDA 601 by pressing down on the cover and sliding it in
the direction of the inscribed arrow, as shown above. When the cover
tabs line up with the slots in the case, lift the cover away from the
instrument. Install batteries in alternating directions as indicated by
the graphic molded into the “floor” of the battery compartment. If using the optional battery pack, take the time to identify both contacts
and install the pack properly.
When selecting a power source for your SDA 601, please remember:
HAttempting to use an improper AC adapter can cause permanent
damage to the instrument. USE AN APPROPRIATE DC POWER
SOURCE ONLY: Voltage must be between 9 and 15 VDC; the
center contact of the connector must be NEGATIVE polarity; and
open-circuit voltage must not exceed 18 VDC. For best results, use
the adapter supplied with the instrument.

HThere is no need to remove the optional NiCad battery pack for
recharging. The SDA 601 will “trickle charge” the battery pack
whenever the standard AC adapter is attached and the instrument

is switched off. It can take up to 16 hours to fully charge the battery pack. Note that charging will occur only if the adapter sup-
plies at least 12V; make sure that the adapter you use is
appropriate for the local AC supply.
HAA batteries are not included with the instrument; buy them local-
ly. Rechargeable AA batteries may be used, but they are NOT recharged automatically. To recharge AA batteries, remove them
from the instrument and use an appropriate charger. For safety,
read and follow the battery charger instructions. Do NOT attempt
to recharge standard alkaline batteries.
HAfter three minutes with no key press, the LCD back light will be
dimmed to save battery charge. (This may be disabled through the
Utility/Diagnostics/Power Manage menu; see page 33.)
HTo guard against battery discharge if you forget to turn the
SDA 601 off, enable Auto Power Off through the Utility/Diagnostics/Power Manage menu (see page 10).
HThe SDA 601 can sense low battery voltage. It will warn you when
the charge is sufficient for approximately ten more minutes of operation. The instrument will shut itself down when the battery voltage becomes too low for reliable operation. See the Battery hints
in Appendix C, beginning on page 47.
The ON key toggles instrument power On and Off.
NOTE. If the instrument is operating with low batteries, it may turn
itself off and on. The batteries should be replaced or recharged
depending on battery types.

Connecting the SDA601
Figure 2: Connecting the SDA601
Connect the instrument as shown in Figure 2. The OPTION connector
is reserved for later versions of the instrument. Note that the SDA 601
has many capabilities and features, and you may wish to gain familiarity with it by first connecting it directly to a serial digital, component
video signal generator such as the Tektronix TSG 601, an analog video
monitor, and—if convenient—a compact printer, such as the SeikoDPU 411 printer (Tektronix part number 119-4594-00), available from
Tektronix distributors and through TekDirect.
SERIAL INPUT
Connect the instrument to your system through the SERIAL INPUT
with 75W coaxial cable. Note that the SDA 601 has internal, active
termination. The signal path that ends with the SDA will be properly
terminated only when the instrument is switched on.

RS-232 Interface
Connect an ASCII, serial printer to the RS-232 connector to create
“hard copy” analysis reports, or to log errors detected during a Watch
session. See page 35 for the connector pinouts, and other necessary
communications settings. With a printer connected, you can
choose—through the Alarm menu—to have the SDA 601 log every
error as it occurs, or to print a Watch report every ten seconds. This
will permit unattended monitoring of your system. See page 20 for
more information.
