Tektronix Expands its Award-Winning Waveform Monitor Line with WFM2200

Tektronix, the market leader in broadcast video test, monitoring and analysis solutions, today announced the availability of the portable WFM2200 waveform monitor, the latest addition to the company's industry-leading line of waveform monitors and rasterizers. The WFM2200's combination of features and performance make it ideal for broadcasters and video content producers requiring a portable waveform monitor to install, configure, maintain and troubleshoot their video equipment.

No longer are broadcasters and those in video content production only monitoring basic SD-SDI video and analog audio. They now have to diagnose multi-format video, multi-channel/format audio, and complex ANC Data that supports today's modern broadcast systems. With all this complexity technicians need easy to use, performance level products at an affordable price.

The WFM2200 uniquely incorporates the exceptional performance of Tektronix' advanced waveform monitors in a portable unit. Complementing this, the WFM2200 is customizable via software, enabling customers to add any additional capabilities to the base model to better suit their needs, rather than pay for a fully configured unit with unneeded capabilities.

"Our new WFM2200 sets a new standard for portable waveform monitors, combining outstanding performance, exceptional portability, and configurable to meet customers' specific requirements," said Eben Jenkins, general manager, Video Product Line, Tektronix. "The WFM2200 is the latest example of our commitment to innovation and creating waveform monitors that are cost-effective while meeting customers' most demanding requirements."

The WFM2200 includes several unique features not offered in other portable waveform monitors, including:
  • A large 6.5 inch, high resolution liquid crystal display (LCD) ensures users will not miss a potential issue because of low-quality waveform representation.
  • A replaceable battery enables users to work longer with one battery charging while another is in use.
  • An input for testing the facility synchronization signal, or "House Black", including a unique Timing display which simplifies setup and verification. In addition, to troubleshoot timing problems and verifying compliance the WFM2200 offers the ability to view the analog reference signal.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa...

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin...

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
