port. Even if the OA 5000 is switched off, light can pass through the
attenuator. Always attach the output port to a r eceiver before attach -
ing the source signal to the input port.
Power Source
The OA 5000 is designed for operation in a Tektronix TM 5000 Series Power
Module or the right-hand slot of an Tektronix OCP 5502. To ensure safe
operation, follow all precautions listed in the instrument’s Operators Manual.
Do not attempt to operate the OA 5000 with any other power source.
Grounding the Optical Attenuator
The OA 5000 is grounded through the power module. To avoid electric
shock, plug the power module power cord into a properly wired receptacle
where earth ground has been verified by a qualified service person.
Without the protective ground connection, all parts of the OA 5000 are
potential shock hazards. This includes knobs and controls that may appear
to be insulators.
Use the Proper Power Cord
Use only the power cord and connector specified for your TM 5000 Series
Power Module. Use only a power cord that is in good condition.
Use the Proper Fuse
To avoid fire hazard, use only the fuse specified in the parts list for your
TM 5000 Series Power Module, and which is identical in type, voltage rating,
and current rating.
Do Not Remove Covers or Panels
To avoid personal injury, do not operate the OA 5000 or TM 5000 Series
Power Module without the panels or covers.
