2215 Operators
INTRODUCTION
The TEKTRONIX 2215 Oscilloscope is a rugged, light¬
weight, dual-channel, 60-MHz instrument that features a
bright, sharply defined trace on an 80- by 100-mm cathode-
ray
tube
(crt).
Its vertical system provides calibrated
deflection factors from 2 mV per division to 10 V per
division. Trigger circuits enable stable triggering over the
full
bandwidth of the vertical system. The horizontal
system provides calibrated sweep speeds from 0.5 s per
division to 50 ns per division along with delayed-sweep
features for accurate relative-time measurements. A XI0
magnifier extends the maximum sweep speed to 5 ns per
division.
The instrument is shipped with the following standard
accessories:
1 Operators manual
2 Probe packages
1 Service manual
2 Probe grabber tips
For part numbers and further information about both
standard and optional accessories, refer to the "Accessories"
page at the back of this manual. Your Tektronix represent¬
ative, your local Tektronix Field Office, or the Tektronix
product catalog can also provide accessories information.
PREPARATION FOR USE
SAFETY
Refer to the "Operators Safety Summary" at the front
of this manual for power source, grounding, and other
safety considerations pertaining to the use of the 2215.
Before connecting the instrument to a power source,
carefully read the following information about line voltages,
power cords, and fuses; then verify that the proper power-
input fuse is installed.
LINE VOLTAGE
The instrument is capable of continuous operation
using ac-power-input voltages that range from 90 V to
250 V nominal at frequencies from 48 Hz to 62 Hz.
POWER CORD
For the 120-V North American customer, the 2215 is
delivered with a three-wire power cord permanently
attached. At the end of the cord is a three-contact plug for
connection to the power source and to protective ground.
The plug's protective-ground contact connects (through the
protective-ground conductor) to the accessible metal parts
of the instrument. For electrical-shock protection, insert this
plug only into a power-source outlet that has a securely
grounded protective-ground contact.
For the non-North American customer (and for the 240-V
North American user), the appropriate power cord is sup¬
plied by an option that is specified when the instrument is
ordered. The optional power cords available are illustrated
in Figure 1.
LINE FUSE
The instrument fuse holder is located on the rear panel
(see Figure 2) and contains the line fuse. Verify that the
proper fuse
is
installed
by
performing the following
procedure:
1. Unplug the power cord from the power-input source
(if applicable).
2. Press in and slightly rotate the fuse-holder cap coun¬
terclockwise to release it.
3. Pul! out the cap from the fuse holder, with the fuse
attached to the inside of the cap.
4. Note fuse values and verify proper size (2 A, 250 V,
fast-blow).
5. Reinstall the fuse and fuse-holder cap.
