The front panel module contains all the probe connections and front panel
controls for the TR 210 Huntron Tracker. Wiring harnesses connect the front
panel controls to the main board.
Control logic circuitry reads the front panel switches and generates the test signal
for Analog Signature Analysis (ASA). An oscillator circuit generates the signal
that alternates the A and B test signals and produces the pulse signals.
To display the signature, the TR 210 Huntron Tracker outputs voltage (V) and
current (I) signals to the horizontal (X) and vertical (Y) inputs of an oscilloscope.

negative-going zero-crossing of the test signal.
g. Repeat this step for 200 and 2000 Hz. A slight slope in the rising and
falling edges of the pulses is acceptable for 2000 Hz. Set the oscilloscope time base as follows for each frequency range:

Maintenance
Preparation
This section contains the information needed to do periodic and corrective
maintenance on the TR 210 Huntron Tracker.
Before servicing this product, read the Safety Summary and Introduction at the
front of the manual and the ESD information below.
CAUTION. Static discharge can damage any semiconductor component in this
instrument.
When performing any service which requires internal access to the instrument,
adhere to the following precautions to avoid damaging internal modules and their
components due to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
1. Minimize handling of static-sensitive modules.
2. Transport and store static-sensitive modules in their static protected
containers or on a metal rail. Label any package that contains static-sensitive
modules.
3. Discharge the static voltage from your body by wearing a grounded antistatic
wrist strap while handling these modules. Do service of static-sensitive
modules only at a static-free work station.
4. Nothing capable of generating or holding a static charge should be allowed
on the work station surface.
5. Handle circuit boards by the edges when possible.
6. Do not slide the modules over any surface.
7. Avoid handling modules in areas that have a floor or work-surface covering
capable of generating a static charge.

Maintenance
Inspection and Cleaning
How often to do maintenance depends on the severity of the environment in
which the instrument is used. A proper time to perform preventive maintenance
is just before instrument adjustment.
Exterior
Internal
Inspect the outside of the instrument for damage, wear, and missing parts.
Instruments that appear to have been dropped or otherwise abused should be
checked thoroughly to verify correct operation and performance. Immediately
repair defects that could cause personal injury or lead to further damage to the
instrument.
To clean the instrument exterior, do the following steps:
1. Remove loose dust on the outside of the instrument with a lint free cloth.
2. Remove remaining dirt with a lint free cloth dampened in a general purpose
detergent-and-water solution. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
CAUTION. To prevent getting moisture inside the instrument during external
cleaning, use only enough liquid to dampen the cloth or applicator.
To access the inside of the instrument for inspection and repair, refer to the
Removal and Installation Procedures in this section.
No periodic cleaning of internal components is necessary. Cleaning of internal
components should only be necessary after repair. There is no periodic lubrication required for this instrument.
6–2
CAUTION. Avoid the use of chemical cleaning agents which might damage the
plastics used in this instrument. For interior components, use a 75% isopropyl
alcohol solution as a cleaner and rinse with deionized water. Before using any
other type of cleaner, consult your Tektronix Service Center or representative.
Inspect the internal portions of the instrument for damage using Table 6–1 as a
guide. Defects found should be repaired immediately.

Removal and Installation Procedures
This section contains procedures for removal and installation of all replaceable
mechanical and electrical parts. For an exploded view and list of these parts, refer
to the Mechanical Parts List on page 10–1.
WARNING. Before doing this or any other procedure in this manual, read the
Safety Summary found at the beginning of this manual. Also, to prevent possible
injury to service personnel or damage to this instrument’s components, read
Installation in Section 2, and Preventing ESD in this section.
Before doing any procedure in this subsection, disconnect the power cord from
the line voltage source. Failure to do so could cause serious injury or death.
Unless indicated otherwise, perform installation in reverse order of removal.
Equipment Required
Refer to Table 6–2 for a list of all equipment required to perform the procedures.
1. Insert a small flat-blade screwdriver into the notch just inside the power cord
2. To access the spare fuse, push out the fuse drawer located inside the fuse
3. Replace the fuse in the fuse holder and snap the fuse holder back into the
socket of the line filter. Use the notch to pull the fuse holder straight out to
remove the fuse.

Removal and Installation Procedures
1. Set the instrument bottom down on the work surface and face the front to
you.
2. Grasp any knob you want to remove and pull it straight out from the front
panel. If the knob is difficult to remove, insert a pair of angle-tip tweezers
between the knob and front panel and carefully pry the knob forward off the
shaft.
3. To reinstall, align the knob to the shaft and push it on.
1. Lay the instrument upside down on the top cover.
2. Use a small flat-blade screwdriver to unsnap the four retainer clips on the
bottom cover that have the rubber feet. See Figure 6–3.
