TF-TekProtect Health Checker
Instructions

TekProtect circuitry directs EOS and ESD
events to ground, protecting your instrument.
The Health Checker quickly lets you know if
the TekProtect circuitry is good or has been
damaged due to electric overload stress (EOS) or
electrostatic discharge (ESD).

tect circuitry is expected to fail after

Always wear a grounded antistatic wrist
strap when hand
when connecting cables to the instruments.

Wear anti-static clothing and work in
a static-free area when using sampling
modules.

Safely discharge the center lead of all
cables to ground before connecting them
to the 80A09, sampling modules, or the
oscilloscope mainframe.

Do not create an ESD antenna by leaving
cables attach
the other end of the cable open.

Always store and transport the 80A09 and
sampling modules in a static-free container,
with all supplied terminations installed.

CAUTION. Observe all terminal ratings. To
avoid damaging the instrument, observe all
ratings and markings on the product. Consult
the product manual for further ratings
information before making connections to
the product. Do not apply a potential to any
terminal, including the common terminal,
that exceeds the maximum rating of that
terminal.

USB to Micro-USB cable

Procedure

CAUTION. Follow ESD handling guidelines
when connecting cables to the 80A09.

1. If connected, remove the cable from the
80A09.

2. Remove the 80A09 from the 80Exx module
input.

CAUTION. Do not perform this test with the
80A09 connected to the 80Exx. Doing so
can damage the 80Exx module input. Do not
connect a ground or 50 Ω terminator to the
80A09.

3. Connect the USB cable, Health Checker and
80A09 as shown in the following figure.

4. Press Test on the TF-TekProtect Health
Checker.

5. If the Health Checker status indicator is
green, the 80A09 is fully functional.

6. If the Health Checker status indicator is
red, the 80A09 can no longer provide ESD
protection. Do not use a defective 80A09
with an 80Exx. Contact Tektronix Customer
Support to order a replacement 80A09 ESD
Protection Device.

7. Repeat these steps to test other 80A09
devices.

TekProtect provides protection from electrical
overstress (EO

(ESD) on the four analog input channels.

Is TekProtect installed? On MSO/DPO70000C
models, About TekScope indicates if TekProtect

From the H elp menu, select About TekScope.
Verify that TekProtect status is Installed.

Procedure

1. Install the test hookup and preset the
instrument cont

Initialize the instrument: Push

theDefaultSetupbuttononthe
MSO/DPO70000C front panel.

Connect the USB cable from the Health

Checker to any available USB port on
the oscilloscope. Connect the SMA
cable from the Health Checker SMA
port to the oscilloscope channel to be
tested.

NOTE. For additional information on
the Talker Listener, click All Programs >
TekVISA > OpenChoice Talker Listener.
Then click Help > Talker Listener Help.

6. Repeat these ste
