Pollution degree
descriptions
A measure of the contaminants that could occur in the environment around
and within a product. Typically the internal environment inside a product is
considered to be the same as the external. Products should be used only in the
environment for which they are rated.
Pollution degree 1. No pollution or only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs.
Products in this category are generally encapsulated, hermetically sealed, or
located in clean rooms.
Pollution degree 2. Normally only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs.
Occasionally a temporary conductivity that is caused by condensation must
be expected. This location is a typical office/home environment. Temporary
condensation occurs only when the product is out of service.
Pollution degree 3. Conductive pollution, or dry, nonconductive pollution
that becomes conductive due to condensation. These are sheltered locations
where neither temperature nor humidity is controlled. The area is protected
from direct sunshine, rain, or direct wind.
Pollution degree 4. Pollution that generates persistent conductivity through
conductive dust, rain, or snow. Typical outdoor locations.
Pollution degree rating Pollution degree 2 (as defined in IEC 61010-1). Rated for indoor, dry location
use only.
IP rating IP20 (as defined in IEC 60529).

Preface
Preface
This manual provides safety and installation information for the ECO8000 Series
Automatic Changeover Unit. Also included is information about basic instrument
operation.
Product description
The ECO8000 Series Automatic Changeover Unit is a highly versatile automatic
sync and signal changeover unit with configurations and capabilities required
to address modern master sync application and other advanced sync timing
application. The ECO8000 Series offers exceptional reliability, stability, and is
designed with optional high-bandwidth input changeover capabilities for HD/SD
and/or 3G-SDI signal environments.
Each ECO8000 unit can be used with the following signal generators to form the
complete sync generator system, which offers extra redundancy for the critical
timing and synchronization system in the facilities.
A pair of Tektronix Master Sync / Master Clock Reference Generators
(SPG8000) for most broadcast facility timing applications.
A pair of Tektronix Test Signal Generators (TG8000) for more advanced post
production facility timing applications.
ECO8000 Series models The ECO8000 Series consist of the following models:
ECO8000: This model provides up to nine user-configurable BNC channels
and four LTC channels. The base configuration has three 50 MHz Electronic
Fast Switch (REF/ELSW) channels with options for six more 50 MHz
Electronic Fast Switch or 3 GHz Relay Switch (HREF/Relay) channels in
groups of three channels each, plus four optional LTC channels. Each channel
consisting of primary and backup inputs, and an output.
ECO8020: This model provides up to 20 user-configurable high-density
BNC channels and four LTC channels. The base configuration has five 50
MHz Electronic Fast Switch (REF/ELSW) channels with options for 15
more 50 MHz Electronic Fast Switch or 3 GHz Relay Switch (HREF/Relay)
channels in groups of five channels each, plus four optional LTC channels.
Each channel consisting of primary and backup inputs, and an output.

Preface
Key features and benefits Innovative architecture provides highly reliable basic ECO function and
advanced monitoring capability
Switches analog black burst, HD tri-level sync, AES/DARS, word clock,
LTC, as well as 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, and SD-SDI signals – all the timing and
synchronization signals required in modern broadcast, production, and post
production facilities
Scalable product architecture to fit various application needs
Electronic Fast Switch function for near glitch-less sync source switching,
minimizing disruption in operations if a switch is necessary to service the
primary sync source
Relay backups provide continued signal connection in the event that the
ECO loses power
Automatic and Manual changeover modes with indicator
Front panel LED indicators for the status of each Primary and Backup channel
Front panel LED indicators for the AC and DC status of each installed power
supply
Dual hot-swappable power supplies ensure continuous availability of
reference signals
Web Interface. An easy to navigate Web-based interface allows quick access to
most of the instrument settings and views. (See page 95, How to use the Web
Interface.) In most cases, it is easier to access and configure the instrument using
the Web Interface. Examples of where this is especially true are:
Viewing instrument status
Viewing the Event Log
Viewing diagnostic results
Configuring event reporting
Configuring e-mail reporting
Configuring channel settings such as threshold levels, labels, etc.
