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.
These indicators remain on until cleared by the operator. Power Up Delay The ECO422D has a delay between the time power is applied and the time the ECO422D starts error detection. This delay allows source equipment to become operational before detection begins.
17-¾ inches to allow clearance for the slide-out tracks. Rack slides conveniently mount in any rack that has a front-to-rear rail spacing between 15-½ and 28 inches. The ECO422D requires six inches of clearance between the instrument rear panel and any rear cabinet panel for connector space and to provide adequate air circulation.
Removing the Instrument. Refer to Figure 1- -7 to remove the instrument from the rack. 1. Loosen retaining screw and pull instrument outward until the stop latches snap into the holes. 2. Press stop latches and remove instrument. 1- 5 ECO422D SD/HD Changeover Unit Instruction Manual...
The instrument is firmly held in this position. To completely remove the instrument, first be sure to disconnect all cabling. Then, press both release-latch buttons (visible in the stop-latch holes) and carefully slide the instrument free from the tracks. 1- 6 ECO422D SD/HD Changeover Unit Instruction Manual...

Getting Started Electrical Installation You can order any of the following power cord options for the ECO422D. If no power cord option is ordered, the instrument is shipped with a North American 125 V power cord and one replacement fuse.
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.
ECO422D. This section gives one example, active analog video. Active Analog Video. The ECO422D will pass active analog video by using the no checking mode, but there will be times when you need to check for the presence of an active video signal.

All of these switches are available through a small access panel on top of the ECO422D, eliminating any need to remove the top cover just to change the function of the outputs. The gray shading on the switches in Figure 1- -9 indicate the down position of the rocker switch.

Getting Started Functional Check and First Time Operation This section steps through how the ECO422D will react under its most common operating circumstances: two good signals, loss and then return of the Primary signal, loss and return of the Backup signal, and loss of power. Only two input signals are used here to avoid confusion.

Power up all instruments. Enable the front panel, using the Front Panel button. Set the ECO422D to “Switch on Fault” using front-panel buttons. (This is the default at power on.) If Primary is not already the source, press the Sync Source button to make Primary the source.

Attenuation. Attenuation allows larger signals to have their signal level checked. The attenuator adds about 14 dB (x5) attenuation to the signal level being checked. This has no effect on the level of the output signal and only extends the 2- 3 ECO422D SD/HD Changeover Unit Instruction Manual...
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.

3. Set all S14 switches “closed.” 4. Set the ECO422D to Primary Sync Source. 5. Set the ECO422D Auto Switching to “Switch on Fault.” 6. Set the step attenuator to 0 dB of attenuation. 7. Turn the potentiometer R265 fully. (You are attempting to allow the minimum signal level to pass through before the threshold is reached.)
11. Check to see that the sync source has not changed to Backup and no faults are on the Primary channel. 12. Slowly adjust R265 until the ECO422D switches to the Backup sync source and a fault occurs on the Primary channel. Press Reset to verify that the fault is still preset.
(see Figure 2- -2) sets the delay between the time power is Delay applied and the time the ECO422D starts error detection. Each position of the switch increments the delay approximately 30 seconds, from position 0 (no delay) to position F (over seven minutes). The factory setting is position 5, which provides a delay of slightly under three minutes.

WARNING The following servicing instructions are for use only by qualified personnel. To avoid injury, do not perform any servicing other than that stated in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so. Refer to all safety summaries before performing any service.
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 4- 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.
Figure 4- 2: ECO422D Option ELSW Block diagram In the standard instrument, switching between the Primary and Backup signals is accomplished with mechanical relays. With Option ELSW, channels four, five, and six employ electronic switching. This is faster than the mechanical relays and glitch- -free, to provide transparent switching of analog sync signals.

Adjustment Procedure The only adjustments required for the ECO422D are the user-defined threshold levels. How to Adjust the The user-defined threshold levels are the two levels available from User User-Defined Threshold 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.
Inspection and Cleaning Preventive maintenance consists of cleaning, lubricating, visual inspection, checking performance, 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. Under average condi- tions, a preventive maintenance check should be performed on a one year interval (severe environmental conditions may dictate a shorter time interval).

Periodic checks of the transistors and integrated circuits are not recommended. The best measure of performance is the actual operation of the component in the circuit. 7- 2 ECO422D SD/HD Changeover Unit Instruction Manual...
Service static-sensitive components or assemblies only at a static free workstation by qualified personnel. If soldering is involved, use a soldering iron connected to earth ground and special antistatic desoldering tools. 7- 3 ECO422D SD/HD Changeover Unit Instruction Manual...
Ensure that the malfunction is in the instrument. This is done by making sure Procedures that the instrument is operating as intended by Tektronix (see Operating Basics), and by checking that a malfunction has not occurred upstream or downstream from the ECO422D.
Page 105
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.
