into the following four sections:
■
Product description describes your instrument and provides a list of key
features.
■
Options and optional accessories lists the options and optional accessories
which are available for the instrument.

Product description
The WFM2300 and WFM2200A Multiformat Multistandard Waveform Monitors
are portable baseband video monitors 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).
These instruments provide an array of basic monitoring tools for video (SD, HD,
Dual Link, and optional 3G) and audio (Embedded and AES) signals. You can
configure the instrument for a full screen or quad-tile display, which allows you
to 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. The WFM2300 with
Option ASI can monitor MPEG2 transport streams.
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 each model for field
operations such as production setup and troubleshooting. These instruments can
also 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.

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
WFM2300 and WFM2200A Specifications and Performance Verification
Technical Reference for 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 and the instrument does not shut down, the risk of fire is increased
and the instrument could be permanently damaged.

Power requirements
This instrument is designed to be powered by a 19 VDC input or by the
WFM200BA Lithium-Ion 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 WFM200BA battery pack is
installed, as the battery pack will discharge until it is below the input voltage
level.
AC power. When the instrument operates from an external AC adapter, the
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. However, if you are operating the instrument and charging a battery at
the same time, the typical power doubles to 54 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 both current-carrying conductors live with respect to ground
(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 International power
cord options on page 5.
NOTE. See the WFM2300 and WFM2200A Specifications and Performance
Verification Technical Reference for additional information on power and
environmental requirements.
WFM2300 and WFM2200A Waveform Monitors User Manual 7
Getting started
Battery power. This instrument can be powered by a Lithium-Ion rechargeable
battery pack. One WFM200BA battery pack is provided with the instrument. If
needed, you can purchase additional battery packs.
NOTE. For optimum performance, charge the battery pack completely before
using it for the first time or after prolonged storage.
When installed, the battery pack will charge whenever the supplied AC adapter is
connected, whether the instrument is On, 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 Pack
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.
Connect power
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.
This section provides procedures for installing the power cord and installing the
battery pack.
