Introduction
PREPARATION FOR USE
Safety
Refer to the Operators Safety Summary at the front of this manual for
power source, grounding, and other safety information about the use of the
instrument. Before connecting the 2245A to a power source, read this
section and the Safety Summary.
This instrument can be damaged if the wrong line fuse is
installed.
Verify the proper value of the power-input fuse with the following
procedure.
1. Press in the fuse-holder cap and release it with a slight counterī¦
clockwise rotation.
2. Pull the cap (with the attached fuse inside) out of the fuse holder.
3. Verify proper fuse value.
4. Install the proper fuse and reinstall the fuse-holder cap.
The 2245A operates on line voltages from 90 to 250 V with line frequencies
ranging from 48 to 440 Hz. No line voltage selecting is necessary. Instruī¦
ments are shipped with the power cord that was requested on the order.
The power cord must match the power-source outlet; if It does not, conī¦
tact your Tektronix representative or local Tektronix Field Office. See
Figure 1-2 for optional power cords available.
The detachable three-wire power cord has a three-contact plug for conī¦
nection to the power source and the protective ground. The power cord is
held to the rear panel by a clamp. The protective ground contact on the
plug connects (through the power cord protective-ground conductor) to
the accessible metal parts of the instrument.
