Physical, environmental, and power specifications
Table 3: Environmental specifications (cont.)
Characteristic Description
The variable fans provide forced air circulation. Do not block
ventilation openings.
Base instrument (no optional sleeves) To allow for proper airflow, there must be at least 2 inches of
clearance on both sides of the instrument, at least 2 inches
of clearance from the rear of the instrument, and at least a
1/2 inch of clearance from the top of the instrument.
Portable cabinet Use only the Tektronix portable cabinet, WFMF02, to allow for
proper airflow with this instrument. When using the portable
cabinet, the same minimum clearances as the base instrument
apply.
Cooling
Rack cabinet Use only the WFMRACK-NN or WFMRACK-S2 rackmount
rack adapter for this instrument. To allow for proper airflow
when installing the rack adapter in a closed rack with solid
walls, there must be at least 2 inches of clearance from both
sides of the rack adapter frame to the rack side walls, at least 3
inches of clearance from the rear of the rack adapter frame to
the back wall of the rack, and at least a 1/2 inch of clearance
from the top of the rack adapter to another rack adapter or
installed instrument. The rack intake air to the side vents must
not exceed 40 °C.

Rack and custom installation
Rack and custom installation
The instrument is shipped in a wrap-around chassis that covers the instrument
bottom and two sides. A cover is installed on the chassis, and the rear panel
is made up of the module rear panels.
You can operate the instrument in the instrument chassis (be sure the top cover is
on) or installed in an approved portable cabinet or rack adapter. (See page 4, Rack
adapter installation.) You can also install the instrument in a custom installation,
such as a console.
CAUTION. To prevent damage to the instrument and the cabinet, do not install the
instrument in any cabinet except the WFMRACK-NN, WFMRACK-S2, or other
rack approved by Tektronix for this instrument.

The following two figures show the dimensions of the WFMRACK-NN and
WFMRACK-S2 rack adapter hardware.

Rack and custom installation
Figure 2: WFMRACK rear-bracket guide dimensions
Custom installation If you install the instrument in a custom application, such as a console, be sure to
provide adequate airflow. Follow these guidelines:
Do not block the ventilating holes.
Adhere to the clearance requirements. (See Table 3 on page 1.)
Rack adapter installation Install the rack adapter into the equipment rack before you install an instrument
into the adapter.
To install the instrument in a 19-inch equipment rack, you must use the
WFMRACK-NN or WFMRACK-S2 Rack Adapter kit. These rack adapters are
designed to house two half-rack instruments side-by-side in a rack. The -NN rack
can house one full depth and one short depth instrument. The -S2 rack can house
two short depth instruments. For installation instructions, see the instruction
manual that is included in the kit.

Instrument connectors
Instrument connectors
The WFM5200 and WFM5250 instruments have connectors on the front and rear
panels. The following pages describe the connector types, pin numbering, and
associated signal requirements.
NOTE. More illustrations and photographs of these instruments are available in
JPEG format on the Tektronix Web site (www.tektronix.com/downloads) and on
the Product Documentation CD that was shipped with your instrument.

NOTE. If you ordered a power cord, it will come with a ferrite core. Install the
ferrite core as shown in the instructions with which it was shipped.
6 WFM5200 Series System Integrator

Instrument connectors
The instrument operates from an external AC adapter and has the following power
requirements:
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, and a operating voltage
range must be from 100 to 240 VAC, continuous.
WARNING. To re duce 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.
WFM5200 Series System Integrator 7

Instrument connectors
SDI video connectors SDI inputs are self-terminating inputs. Use the SDI 1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B inputs to
connect a serial digital video signal to the instrument.
NOTE. The SDI 2A and 2B connectors are only found on the WFM5200 model.
The SDI OUT can be selected to output either the looped-through input signal
or a test signal that contains configurable error brightups. This is done from the
Config > Outputs > SDI Output menu.
The following table lists the characteristics of the SDI video connectors.
Table 4: SDI video connector specifications
Connector Characteristic Description
Input Type BNC, 75 Ωinternally terminated
WFM5250 only: 2 inputs, only one active at
a time except for Dual Link (2 inputs) or SIM
mode (Option SIM).
WFM5200 only: 4 inputs, only one active at
a time except in camera balance mode (2-4
inputs) or Dual Link (2 inputs).
Input Level 800 mV ± 10%
Cable Loss Accommodation: 270 Mb/s 0 to 30 dB attenuation at ½ of serial rate
Equivalent to approximately 300 m of
Belden 8281 at 270 Mb/s

connectors are only found on
the WFM5200 model.
Cable Loss Accommodation: 1.5 Gb/s,
3Gb/s
0 to 20 dB attenuation at ½ of serial rate

performance to 110 m
Output Type BNC, 75 Ωinternally terminated
Output Level 800 mV ± 10% into 75 Ωload
HDMI video connectors
(WFM5250 only)
HDMI inputs are self-terminating inputs. Use the HDMI 2A and 2B inputs to
route incoming HDMI signals into the rear-panel of the instrument. You cannot
monitor a 3D signal and an HDMI signal at the same time. You can only monitor
one at a time.
TheHDMIOUTcanbeusedtooutputanHDMIsignaltoanexternalHDMI
monitor. An HDCP compliant monitor is required in order to view an image for
HDCP compliant inputs, otherwise the screen may be blank. Also, the SDI output
will not be available when HDCP content is present on the HDMI input.

Remote connector
(WFM5200 only)
The REMOTE connector is a 15-pin, female, D-type connector with socket
contacts. It uses ground closures for remote control and sending indications to
external equipment when alarms have occurred. The input of LTC is through the
REMOTE connector.
Use the Remote connector to input LTC time code signals, and to remotely select
one of the first four instrument presets in group “A” using ground closure. The
