Installation
To install your instrument in a cabinet, rack, or carrying case, follow the instructions that are included with the optional
accessory kits that are available for each type of installation.
CAUTION. Do not install this instrument in any cabinet except those that are listed in the Accessories table. Attempting to
do so can damage the instrument and the cabinet.
If you install your instrument in a custom application, such as a console, be sure to provide adequate airflow. Do not
block the ventilation holes.
CAUTION. Failure to provide adequate airflow to the instrument could cause the instrument to shut down. If the airflow is
blocked and the instrument does not shut down, the instrument could be seriously damaged.
Before Installation
Unpack the instrument and check that you have received all of the items listed as standard accessories. You may want to
save the shipping carton

If the instrument is installed to monitor
an operating link, the destination receiver

termination. This monitoring connection
checks the performance of the entire
path. The return loss of the instrument is
sufficiently high that, in most cases, the
destination r eceiver sets the system return

Line Termination
Your instrument uses passive loop-through analog and reference inputs. Accordingly, the loopthrough inputs must be
terminated externally. It is important that this external termination meets accuracy and return loss requirements. Terminations
for loop-throughs on SDI or reference connectors in end-of-link setups must be 75 Ω and DC coupled (good return loss
extends to DC). An appropriate termination would be a 75 Ω End of Line terminator, Tektronix part number 011-0163-XX.
