Input, and an Output. All relays switch in unison upon fault detection in any active channel, front-panel command, or remote command. The ECO 422 bases error checking on signal amplitude. You can configure each channel to check for a different type of input. There are six predefined checking levels: no checking, PAL analog black burst, NTSC black burst, serial digital component video, NTSC serial digital composite video, and serial digital audio.
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 ECO 422 requires six inches of clearance between the instrument rear panel and any rear cabinet panel for connector space and to provide adequate air circulation.

Electrical Installation You can order any of the following power cord options for the ECO 422. If no power cord option is ordered, the instrument is shipped with a North American 125 V power cord and one replacement fuse.
There are the several different types of signal checking already available but you Configuration Switches may need to feed a different signal through the ECO 422. This section gives one example, analog active video. Active Analog Video. The ECO 422 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.
Press the Sync Source button to change to the Backup source. No matter how many times you press the Sync Source button again, the ECO 422 will not allow you to return to the Primary source because it is in error. The only time that you can switch to an “error”...
Getting Started Functional Check and First Time Operation This section steps through how the ECO 422 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 ECO 422 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.

For Normal operation, the user cannot switch to a bad signal whether the instrument is in manual or auto switch mode. For example, the ECO 422 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.
50 or 60 Hz. The operating voltage range is continuous from 90 to 250 VAC. WARNING. Do not connect power to the ECO 422 if the top cover is not installed. Dangerous potentials are present on the Power Supply board.
The front panel cannot override this remote command. Toggle Sync Source (active low) Operates the same as the Sync Source button on the front panel. A low pulse will cause the ECO 422 to toggle between Primary and Backup as the output signal.
Fault Reporting – and + It is normally open, indicating that everything is good. It will close in the cases of: loss of power to the ECO 422 or one (or more) input signals are bad. The fault is latched and will remain until the fault is cleared.

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 Introduction This section provides information on how the ECO 422 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.
Logic circuit that determines the state of the relays. Additional circuitry runs the Alarm Driver for the remote output and the fault indicators on the front panel. ECO 422 Detailed Circuit Description Input and Comparators 2 through 7 The Input and Comparator circuit takes the input signals, selects between them, and prepares the peak signals for the Decision Logic circuit.
The Primary and Backup signals from the Voltage Comparators on the Main board are ANDed with like signals coming from the Connector board and passed to the Controller PLD that then generates the control signals for the switching relays. 4–3 ECO 422...

Switch Farm. The Switch Farm, S1–S11, is a set of 11 eight-bit DIP switches, one for each channel. The user selects which reference amplifier, VREF, for each channel using the switches and whether or not the attenuator, ATTEN, is inserted. Opening the seven reference amplitude switches allows VREF to go to 4–6 ECO 422...

Switch between 2 and 4 dB down from nominal Repeat the previous two procedures for Channels 2 through 11 of the ECO 422. Move the cables from Channel 1 to the channel under test. Replace the switch setting for S1 as given in the following table.
Adjustment Procedure Introduction The only adjustment required for the ECO 422 is the user-defined threshold levels. Adjustment Procedure 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 ECO 422 on a regular schedule. The Inspection and cleaning schedule should be established based on the amount of use and the surrounding environment of the ECO 422. Under average conditions, a preventive maintenance check should be performed on a one year interval (severe environmental conditions may dictate a shorter time interval).
Higher static discharge voltages than the levels listed in Table 7–1 can degrade the performance and reliability of the semiconductor components. Static voltages of 1 kV to 30 kV are common in unprotected environments. 7–2 ECO 422...
6. Pick up the components by the body, never the leads. 7. Do not slide the components over any surface. 8. Use a soldering iron that is connected to earth ground. 9. Use only special antistatic, suction, or wick-type desoldering tools. 7–3 ECO 422...
Ensure that the malfunction exists 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 from the ECO 422.
In addition, there are training programs that are available for service technicians. NOTE. When considering which service offerings best suit the current need, remember that Tektronix provides a limited parts and service warranty for all its products. No customer repairs should be attempted during the warranty period. Service Training Tektronix provides service training in a number of programs.
The process begins by contacting one of the module exchange centers. They can be contacted through your Tektronix field office or representative. In addition, US customers can call 1-800-TEK-WIDE (835-9433) for assistance in contacting the Television Board Exchange Center.
(if applicable) ensures that you will receive the module required to return the instrument to complete operation. Factory Replacement Replacement parts are available through the local Tektronix field office or Parts representative. However, many common electric parts are available through local sources.
Finally, keeping the board level, slide the board towards the front of the instrument until the BNCs clear both the rear panel and the clips (see Figure 7–2).
