Preparation for Use—2445 Operators
Figure 2-1. Line selector switch, line fuse, and detachable power cord.
START-UP
The 2445 automatically performs power-up tests each
time the instrument is turned on. The purpose of these
tests is to provide the user with the highest possible con
fidence level that the instrument is fully functional. If no
faults are encountered, the power-up tests normally will be
completed in under five seconds, after which the instru
ment will enter the normal operating mode. A failure of
any of the power-up tests will be indicated by either a
flashing TRIG'D indicator on the instrument front panel or
a bottom-line readout on the crt in the form: TEST XX
FAIL YY (where XX is the test number and YY is the
failure code of the failed test).
If a failure of any power-up test occurs, the instrument
may still be usable for some applications. To put the
instrument into the operating mode after a power-up test
failure, press the A/B TRIG button. If the instrument then
functions for your particular measurement requirement, it
may be used, but refer it to a qualified service technician
for repair of the problem at the earliest convenience.
Additional information on the power-up tests may be
found in Appendix A at the rear of this manual. Consult
your service department, your local Tektronix Service
Center, or nearest Tektronix representative if additional
assistance is needed.
