Product description
The WFM2200 SD/HD/3G SDI Waveform Monitor and Generator is a portable
baseband video monitor, offering uncompromised monitoring quality for field
applications with a large 6.5 inch high-brightness, low-power consumption LED
backlit display, and weighing in at less than 4.4 lbs (2 kg).
This instrument provides an array of basic monitoring tools for video (SD, HD,
Dual Link, and optional 3G) and audio (Embedded and AES) signals. You can
nfigure the instrument for a full screen or quad-tile display, which allows you to
co
see all of the necessary signal information at a glance. The ANC Data Inspector,
Data list, and closed caption decode features are invaluable for troubleshooting
problems within the ancillary data space.
You can use the Tektronix patented Timing display and the external reference
waveform display to assist in ensuring correct video timing and troubleshooting
timing problems. The instrument includes a color bar and pathological video
signal generator for troubleshooting signal paths and equipment.
A range of accessories can expand the versatility of the WFM2200 for field
operations such as production setup and troubleshooting. The instrument can
be powered by the supplied rechargeable/replaceable Li-Ion battery pack or the
supplied 100-240 V AC adapter, which provides 19 VDC to the instrument.

Getting started
Installation
Your handheld instrument is shipped in a fully enclosed metal chassis with a
protective rubber boot. A flange with a threaded hole is provided on the bottom
panel for use with a tripod mount.
If you need to install your instrument in a custom application, such as a console,
be sure to provide adequate airflow and make sure the intake air to the side vents
does not exceed 40 °C. Do not block or restrict the ventilating holes. See the
WFM2200 Sp
the complete operating specifications.
CAUTION. To prevent risk of fire, adequate airflow must be maintained. Failure
to provide adequate airflow to the instrument could cause the instrument to shut
down. Inadequate airflow includes placing the instrument in any small, enclosed
room that lacks a ventilation system, such as a closet. If the airflow is restricted or
blocked
the instrument could be permanently damaged.

rechargeable battery pack. However, the instrument will operate from any
regulated DC voltage between 11 V and 20 V. Input voltages below 18.5 V should
not be used while the battery pack is installed, as the battery pack will discharge
until it is below the input voltage level.

following power requirements apply:
WARNING. Fire can cause personal injury and/or property damage. To prevent
risk of fire, when using an external DC source other than the provided AC adapter,
make sure that it has a suitable current limiting device (such as a fuse).
A single-phase power source with one current-carrying conductor at or near
earth-ground (the neutral conductor).
The power source frequency must be 50 or 60 Hz, the operating voltage range
must be from 100 to 240 VAC, continuous. The typical power draw is 27 W.
WARNING. To reduce risk of fire and shock, make sure the mains supply voltage
fluctuations do not exceed 10% of the operating voltage range.

Systems with bo
(such as phase-to-phase in multiphase systems) are not recommended as
power sources.
NOTE. Only the line conductor is fused for over-current protection. The fuse is
internal and not user replaceable. Do not attempt to replace the fuse. If you
suspect the fuse has blown, return the unit to an authorized service center for
repair.
Use the proper power cord with the AC adapter. (See page 5, International
power cord options.)

When installed, the battery pack will charge whenever the supplied AC adapter is
connected, whether the instrument is O n, Off, or in Standby mode. The charging
rate is unaffected by instrument operation.
If you are using the WFM200BA battery pack to power the instrument, read
the following battery safety notices. See the WFM200BA Rechargeable Battery
ck Instructions for information about how to properly operate and maintain
Pa
the battery pack.
CAUTION. To avoid damage to the battery pack, use only the waveform monitor
or the optional WFM200BC battery charger to charge the battery pack. Do not
connect any other voltage source to the battery pack.
To avoid overheating of the battery pack during charging, do not exceed the
allowable ambient temperature of 0 to 40 °C. The battery pack will stop charging
if it gets too hot.
The temperature at which the battery pack will stop charging varies depending
on the charging current and the battery heat dissipation characteristics. This is
particularly true when the instrument is being operated while the battery pack is
charging. The actual battery-charging temperature limit may be lower than 40 °C.
