grou
nd. Before making connections to the input or output
terminals of the product, ensure that the product is properly
grou
nded.
Do not disable the power cord grounding connection.
Observe all terminal ratings. To avoid fire or shock hazard,
observe all ratings and markings on the product. Consult the
product manual for further ratings information before making
connections to the product.
Do not apply a potential to any terminal, including the common
terminal, that exceeds the maximum rating of that terminal.
Power disconnect. The power cord disconnects the product
from the power source. See instructions for the location. Do
not position equipment so that it is difficult to disconnect the
power cord; it must remain accessible to the user at all times to
allow for quick disconnection if needed.
Connect and disconnect properly. Do not connect or disconnect
probes or test leads while they are connected to a voltage
source.
Use only insulated voltage probes, test leads, and adapters
supplied with the product, or indicated by Tektronix to be
suitable for the product.
Do not float the common terminal above the rated voltage for
that terminal.

Pollution degree description
A measure of the contaminants that could occur i n the
environment around and w ithin a product. Typically the
internal environment inside a product is considered to be the
same as the external. Products should be used only in the
environment for which they are rated.
Pollution Degree 1. No pollution or only dry,
nonconductive pollution occurs. Products in this category
are generally encapsulated, hermetically sealed, or located
in clean rooms.
Pollution Degree 2. Normally only dry, nonconductive
pollution occurs. Occasionally a temporary conductivity
that is caused by condensation must be expected. This
location is a typical office/home environment. Temporary
condensation occurs only when the product is out of
service.
Pollution Degree 3. Conductive pollution, or dry,
nonconductive pollution that becomes conductive due
to condensation. These are sheltered locations where
neither temperature nor humidity is controlled. The area is
protected from direct sunshine, rain, or direct wind.
Pollution D egree 4. Pollution that generates persistent
conductivity through conductive dust, rain, or snow.
Typical outdoor locations.
Pollution degree rating
Pollution Degree 2 (as defi
ned in IEC 61010-1). Rated for
indoor, dry location use only.
IP rating
IP20 (as defined in IEC 60529).
Measurement and overvoltage cate gory descriptions
Measurement terminals on this product may be rated for
measuring mains voltages from one or more of the following
categories (see specific ratings marked on the product and in
the manual).
Category II. Circuits directly connected to the building
wiring at utilization
points (socket outlets and similar points).
Category III. In the building wiring and distribution
system.
Category IV. At the source of the electrical supply to the
building.
NOTE. Only mains power supply circuits have an overvoltage
category rating. Only measurement circuits have a
measurement category rating. Other circuits within the product
do not have either rating.
Mains overvoltage category rating
Overvoltage Category II (as defined in IEC 61010-1).

Power source
This generator operates from a single-phase power source with
the neutral conductor a t or near earth ground. It is intended for
only ground-referenced measurements. A protective ground
connection through the grounding conductor in the power cord
is essential for safe operation.
Power the unit on by connecting the supplied power cord to the
rear-panel power connector (1). Push the power button (2) on
the front of the instrument to turn it on. To power the unit off,
push the power button on the front of the instrument again. To
remove power completely, disconnect the power cord from the
rear-panel of the instrument.
WARNING. To reduce the risk of fire and shock, ensure that
the mains supply voltage fluctuations do not exceed 10% of
the operating voltage range.
