A1Q2. Power Supply The TSG 601 is DC powered either by batteries or by an AC adapter with a nega- tive center lead orientation. When the adapter DC output is connected to A1J5, power is not drawn from the batteries. A1L7 and A1C7 act as an EMI regulator, and A1Q9 and A1VR1 protect the circuitry from a DC power adapter with a pos- itive center lead.

Performance Verification and Adjustment Procedures This section consists of a detailed performance verification procedure to verify the operation of the TSG 601, and an adjustment procedure to return the instru- ment to in-spec operation. A performance verification “Checklist” appears on page 4–2.
Performance Verification and Adjustment Procedures Performance Verification Checklist Use the following checklist if you are familiar with the operation of the TSG 601 and video performance verification techniques. NOTE. Allow a 20-minute warm-up for the TSG 601 and the instruments used for performance verification.
On the 11403A, verify that the signal amplitude is 700 8 mV. c. Press once so that 720 mV is displayed on the TSG 601 LCD. d. On the 11403A, verify that the signal amplitude is 720 8 mV.

For best results, replace or recharge the batteries when you first see this warning. Low Battery Shut Down To prevent erratic operation at very low power levels, the TSG 601 will shut it- self down if the battery voltage drops below a second, lower threshold that also depends on the Battery Type setting.
Dirt can provide high-resistance electrical leakage paths between con- ductors or components in a humid environment. CAUTION. The TSG 601 case is made of molded plastic. Do not allow water to get inside of any enclosed assembly or component. Do not clean any plastic materials with organic cleaning solvents, such as benzene, toluene, xylene, acetone, or similar compounds, because they may damage the plastic.

1. Auto power down; use the left ( ) or right ( ) arrow key to toggle between enabled and disabled. The Auto Power Down function shuts the TSG 601 off when there has been no key press for approximately 10 minutes, to conserve battery charge. The Auto Power Down symbol (a rotating line) appears in the upper-right corner of the display when the function is enabled.
Corrective maintenance deals with obtaining replacement parts, torque specifica- tions, and component replacement. Obtaining Replacement parts are available from or through the local Tektronix, Inc., field office or representative. Replacement Parts When ordering parts be sure to include the following information in your order: 1.
Maintenance Torque Specifications Only #4 screws are used in the TSG 601 to secure the case halves together. DO NOT USE MORE THAN 3 INCH POUNDS OF TORQUE ON THESE SCREWS. Replacing Assemblies WARNING. Disconnect the AC adapter and batteries before replacing any components.
1. Once the Main board is out of the way, lift the plastic spacer board out of the instrument. This is held in place only by a friction fit. 2. Lift the Keypad board out of the TSG 601. This too is held in place by a friction fit.
