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.

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.)

th current-carrying conductors live with respect to ground

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

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.
