For Normal operation, the user cannot switch to a bad signal whether the instrument is in manual or auto switch mode. For example, the ECO422D is in manual mode and the Primary signal is bad, while the Backup signal is good. If the user presses the Sync Source button, the output will be the Backup signal.
Operating Basics Output. Signal output. It is either from the Primary or the Backup source. How the ECO422D is configured determines under what conditions the source changes. Backup. Input from the backup sync generator. This should be the same signal type as its Primary signal pair.
Fault Reporting - - and + It is normally open, indicating that everything is good. It will close in the cases of: loss of power to the ECO422D or one (or more) input signals are bad. The fault is latched and will remain until the fault is cleared.

Theory of Operation This section provides information on how the ECO422D circuitry works, in order to troubleshoot the instrument. Logic Conventions Signal names are all capital letters. For example, SIGNAL. An active low signal (normally denoted by an overscore) is a signal name enclosed in parentheses.
Latch Flag other channels Figure 3- 1: ECO422D Block diagram The Primary and Backup signals for each channel enter through the BNCs and are applied directly to a Relay, where one signal is switched through to the rear-panel Output and the other terminates in 75 Ω. The rest of the circuitry determines which signal goes to the Output.

Adjustment Procedure The only adjustments required for the ECO422D are the user-defined threshold levels. Adjusting the User-Defined Threshold Levels The user-defined threshold levels are the two levels available from User Configuration switches SX- -6 (R266) and SX- -7 (R265). They are available so that the user can check the levels of signals other than the five predefined levels.
H Read the Operating Basics section Preventive Maintenance Preventive maintenance consists of cleaning, inspecting, checking performance, activating the switch-over relays, and readjusting the ECO422D on a regular schedule. The inspection and cleaning schedule should be established based on the amount of use and the surrounding environment of the ECO422D.

This does not apply to the three Option ELSW channels, which are buffered. To avoid this problem, work on an output only when the ECO422D is not in operation. Disconnect the output cable from the ECO422D before working on the cable, and verify proper termination before reconnecting the cable to the ECO422D.
