Introduction 1

Introduction

The DMM4040 and 4050 are 6-1/2 digit, dual-display multimeters designed for bench-top, field service, and system applications. Their full complement of measurement functions plus its RS-232, IEEE 488, and Ethernet Remote Interfaces makes these multimeters ideal candidates for precision manual measurements and use in automated systems. For portability, these multimeters include a carrying handle that also serves as a bail for bench top operation.
There are a few additional features in the DMM4050 that are not present in the DMM4040. These features will be identified with the annotation of “4050 Only” by each feature that is found only in that model. Separate specification tables are also used to clarify the differences between these two models.
The following is a list of some of the features and functions:
Bright, large-digit, wide-viewing-angle display
Dual display for displaying two properties of an input signal (e.g., ac voltage in one
display and frequency in the other).
Remote operation via IEEE 488, RS-232, and Ethernet interface.
Trigger in and measurement-complete out
Front panel USB port for optional memory
6-1/2 digit resolution
Half-rack width
True rms ac
2 and 4-wire resistance measurements
Extended 10 and 1 G ranges
Frequency measurements to 1 MHz
Capacitance measurements (4050 only)
Temperature measurement (4050 only)
10 A current capability
Decibels (dB and dBm) with variable reference impedance and audio power
measurement capability
Input terminals on both front and rear panels of the meter
Closed-case calibration (no internal calibration adjustments)
This technical reference manual focuses on performance verification and calibration of the Tektronix DMM4040 and 4050 Digital Multimeters (hereafter referred to as the Meter).

To Avoid Fire or Personal Injury

Use Proper Power Cord. Use only the power cord specified for this product and certified for the country of use.
Use Proper Voltage Setting. Before applying power, ensure that the line selector is in the proper position for the source being used.
Connect and Disconnect Properly. Do not connect or disconnect probes or test leads while they are connected to a voltage source.
Ground the Product. This product is grounded through the grounding conductor of the power cord. To avoid electric shock, the grounding conductor must be connected to earth ground. Before making connections to the input or output terminals of the product, ensure that the product is properly grounded.
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.
1-4
Power Disconnect. The power cord disconnects the product from the power source. Do not block the power cord; it must remain accessible to the user at all times.
Do Not Operate Without Covers. Do not operate this product with covers or panels removed.
Introduction and Specifications
General Safety Summary 1
Do Not Operate With Suspected Failures. If you suspect that there is damage to this product, have it inspected by qualified service personnel.
Avoid Exposed Circuitry. Do not touch exposed connections and components when power is present.
Use Proper Fuse. Use only the fuse type and rating specified for this product. Keep Product Surfaces Clean and Dry.
 Warning
To avoid possible electric shock, personal injury, or death, read the following before using the Meter.
Use the Meter only as specified in this manual, or the
protection provided by the Meter might be impaired.
Do not use the Meter in wet environments.
Inspect the Meter before using it. Do not use the Meter if it
appears damaged.
Inspect the test leads before use. Do not use them if
insulation is damaged or metal is exposed. Check the test leads for continuity. Replace damaged test leads before using the Meter.
Verify the Meter's operation by measuring a known voltage
before and after using it. Do not use the Meter if it operates abnormally. Protection may be impaired. If in doubt, have the Meter serviced.
Whenever it is likely that safety protection has been
impaired, make the Meter inoperative and secure it against any unintended operation.
Servicing of the Meter should be performed by qualified
service personnel.
Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the
Meter, between the terminals or between any terminal and earth ground.
While in IEC Measurement Category II environments, do not
apply voltages above 600 V ac to the input of the Meter. See “Description of IEC 61010 Measurement Categories” later in this manual.
Always use the power cord and connector appropriate for
the voltage and outlet of the country or location in which you are working.
Always use a power cord with a ground connection and
ensure the ground is properly connected to the power distribution system.
Remove test leads from the Meter before opening the case.
Never remove the cover or open the case of the Meter
without first removing it from the main power source.

Description of IEC 61010 Measurement Categories

The IEC 61010 safety standard defines four Overvoltage (Installation) Categories (CAT I to CAT IV) based on the magnitude of danger from transient impulses as shown in Figure 1-1.
Figure 1-1. IEC 61010 Measurement Category (CAT) Levels
The IEC 61010 Measurement CAT level indicates the level of protection the instrument provides against impulse withstand voltage.
CAT I equipment is designed to protect against transients from high-voltage, low-energy sources, such as electronic circuits or a copy machine.
CAT II equipment is designed to protect against transients from energy-consuming equipment supplied from the fixed installation, such as TVs, PCs, portable tools, and other household appliances.
CAT III equipment is designed to protect against transients in equipment in fixed equipment installations, such as distribution panels, feeders and short branch circuits, and lighting systems in large buildings.
CAT IV equipment is designed to protect against transients from the primary supply level, such as an electricity meter or an overhead or underground utility service.
