1502C MTDR Service Manual
Installation and Repacking
Before unpacking the 1502C from its shipping container or carton, inspect for signs
of external damage. If the carton is damaged, notify the carrier. The shipping carton
contains the basic instrument and its standard accessories. Refer to the replaceable
parts list in the Service Manual for a complete listing.
If the contents of the shipping container are incomplete, if there is mechanical
damage or defect, or if the instrument does not meet operational check requirements,
contact your local Tektronix Field Office or representative. If the shipping container
is damaged, notify the carrier as well as Tektronix.
The instrument was inspected both mechanically and electrically before shipment.
It should be free if mechanical damage and meet or exceed all electrical
specifications. Procedures to check operational performance are in the Performance
Checks appendix. These checks should satisfy the requirements for most receiving
or incoming inspections.
The 1502C is intended to be operated from a power source that will not apply more
than 250 volts RMS between the supply conductors or between either supply
conductor and ground. A protective ground connection, by way of the grounding
conductor in the power cord, is essential for safe operation.
The AC power connector is a three-way polarized plug with the ground (earth) lead
connected directly to the instrument frame to provide electrical shock protection. If
the unit is connected to any other power source, the unit frame must be connected
to earth ground.
Power and voltage requirements are printed on the back panel. The 1502C can be
operated from either 115 VAC or 230 VAC nominal line voltage at 45 Hz to 440 Hz,
or a 12 VDC supply, or an internal battery.
Further information on the 1502C power requirements can be found in the Safety
Summary in this section and in the Operating Instructions chapter.
When the 1502C is to be shipped to a Tektronix Service Center for service or repair,
attach a tag showing the name and address of the owner, name of the individual at
your firm who may be contacted, the complete serial number of the instrument, and
a description of the service required. If the original packaging is unfit for use or is
not available, repackage the instrument as follows:
1. Obtain a carton of corrugated cardboard having inside dimensions that are at
least six inches greater than the equipment dimensions to allow for cushioning.
The test strength of the shipping carton should be 275 pounds (102.5 kg). Refer
to the following table for test strength requirements:
