1502C MTDR User 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 require-
ments, 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 battery pack.
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 cushion-
ing. The test strength of the shipping carton should be 275 pounds
(102.5 kg). Refer to the following table for test strength requirements:
