The variable fans provide forced air circulation. Do not block
ventilation openings.
Bare instrument (no optional sleeves) To ensure proper air flow, there must be 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 ensure
proper airflow with this instrument. When using the portable
cabinet, the same minimum clearances as the Bare Instrument
apply.
Cooling
Rack cabinet Use only the Tektronix rackmount insert, WFM7F00, with the
Tektronix Dual Rack Adapter, WFM7F05 for this instrument. To
ensure proper airflow when installing the Dual 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 rack’s back wall, and at least

Rack and Custom Installation
Rack and Custom Installation
The instrumentisshippedinawrap-aroundchassis 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 5, 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 one that is approved by Tektronix, such as
the WFM7F05.
WFM7F05 Dimensions The following three figures show the dimensions of the WFM7F05 rack adapter
hardware and the sleeves.

Figure 3: WFM7F05 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 WFM7F05
Rack Adapter kit. The WFM7F05 is designed to house two half-rack instruments
side-by-side in a rack. (See Figure 4 on page 8.)
WFM8200 and WFM8300 System Integrator 5

Rack and Custom Installation
To accommodate different products, two types of sleeves are available. The two
sleeve types are designed to properly fit only the products listed below.
CAUTION. Be sure to use the correct sleeve for your product. If you use the wrong
sleeve, it could damage the instrument and cause overheating problems. Refer to
the cooling specifications in this manual. (See page 2.)
The ventilation holes and EMI shielding on the sleeves are specially designed to
meet the requirements of the instruments for which they were intended.
The type of sleeve(s) included with the rack adapter kit is configuredwhenyou
order the adapter. You can also install a sleeve in one side of the rack adapter and
a blank panel (1700F06) or an accessory drawer (1700F07) in the other side of the
adapter to improve airflow and appearance.

During installation, be aware of the following:
The rack adapter is marked with the word "TOP" to indicate which side of the
adapter should face up. (See Figure 4 on page 8.)
You can adjust the position of the handle brackets to mount the adapter flush
with other equipment in the rack. (See rack adapter instructions.)
Press the sleeve release buttons to remove the instrument from the rack
adapter. (See Figure 4.)
After you install the rack adapter, install the instrument(s) into the rack adapter
following the instructions that accompany the WFM7F05 Rack Adapter Kit.

Instrument Connectors
Instrument Connectors
The instrument has connectors on the front and rear panels. The following pages
describe the connector types, pin numbering, and associated signal requirements.
The first illustration shows the rear panel of a fully optioned instrument. Your
instrument may have a different configuration than that shown.
NOTE. More illustrations and photographs of these instruments are available in
JPEG format on the Tektronix Web site (www.tektronix.com) and on the Product
Documentation CD that was shipped with your instrument.

Instrument Connectors
Power Connector
The instrument 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 reduce risk of fire and shock, ensure 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.
SDI Video Connectors SDI inputs are self-terminating inputs. Use the SDI A and SDI B inputs to connect
as
erial digital video signal to the instrument.
The SDI A Out signal is the reclocked output of the SDI A input and has the
same data rate as the input signal. The SDI B/CLK Out signal is the reclocked
output from the SDI B input and has the same data rate as the input signal. If the
instrument has Option Eye or PHY, the SDI B/CLK Out signal can also be the
recovered clock output. You can connect the Clock Out signal to a spectrum
analyzer to view jitter frequency components in the video signal.
The SDI OUT can be selected to output either the looped-through input signal,
a test signal (Option 3G only), or the Pix Mon signal output, which contains
configurable error brightups. This can be done from the Config>Outputs>SDI
Output menu.
The following table lists the characteristics of the SDI video connectors.
