Specifications Certifications and Compliances EC Declaration of Meets intent of Directive 89/336/EEC for Electromagnetic Compatibility. Conformity - - EMC Compliance was demonstrated to the following specifications as listed in the Official Journal of the European Communities: EN 55103. Product family standard for audio, video, audio-visual and entertain- ment lighting control apparatus for professional use.
Supplying Power The SDA601 is DC powered. You may power it with the standard AC adapter, the optional 9.6 V NiCad battery pack, eight standard AA batteries, or a “BP” type external battery pack with the correct voltage and polarity. The external DC power connector is on the left side of the instrument.
To install AA batteries or the battery pack, open the battery compartment of the SDA601 by pressing down on the cover and sliding it in the direction of the inscribed arrow, as shown in Figure 2- -1. When the cover tabs line up with the slots in the case, lift the cover away from the instrument.
(This may be disabled through the Utility/Diagnostics/ Power Manage menu; see page 2- -12.) H To guard against battery discharge if you forget to turn the SDA601 off, enable Auto Power Off through the Utility/Diagnostics/Power Manage menu (see page 2- -11).
PROCOMMR or the Terminal accessory of MicrosoftR WindowsT. With a printer or PC connected, you can choose—through the Alarm menu—to have the SDA601 log every error as it occurs, or to print a Watch report every ten seconds. This will permit unattended monitoring of your system.
NOTE. RS-232 signals are named from the perspective of the DTE device. Since the SDA601 is a DCE device, pin 2 (“Received Data”) is an output from the instrument; that is, the data is received by the connected DTE device.

RS-232 connector. If you have trouble outputting from the SDA601, first verify that communication parameter and Baud rate settings are correct, then try reversing the conductors at pins 2 and 3 and 7and 8 at the cable end that is connected to the SDA.
Keypad and Display Conventions Please see the Instruction card (Tektronix part number 070-8912-00) supplied with your SDA601 for a “tour” of the keypad and an explanation of the display symbols. For your convenience, the following panels are taken from the card.
Analysis or Watch session on the SDA601 LCD. See page 2- -23. The On-Screen Display (OSD) The OSD is a 12 line, 24 column display that can contain results from SDA601 Analyze and Watch sessions. It can be superimposed on the AUX output and Insert viewed on an attached video monitor.
Operating Information H Similar reversed “S” and “SL” icons (not shown) will appear when SDA601 keypad is shifted and shift locked. H The down-arrow in the lower right indicates that the key may be used to reveal another (higher-numbered) page. An up-arrow will appear in all other pages to indicate that the key may be used.
“Auto Power Off” will switch the instrument off when ten minutes have passed Power Off without a key press.
