Pollution Degree Description

A measure of the contaminants that could occur in the environment around and within 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 Degree 4. Pollution that generates persistent conductivity through conductive dust, rain, or snow. Typical outdoor locations.

Cleaning

Inspect the oscilloscope and probes as often as operating conditions require. To clean the exterior surface, perform the following steps:

1.Remove loose dust on the outside of the oscilloscope and probes with a lint-free cloth. Use care to avoid scratching the clear glass display filter.

2.Use a soft cloth dampened with water to clean the oscilloscope. Use an aqueous solution of 75% isopropyl alcohol for more efficient cleaning.

CAUTION. To avoid damage to the surface of the oscilloscope or probes, do not use any abrasive or chemical cleaning agents.

Installation

Connecting Probes

The oscilloscope supports probes with the following:

1.Tektronix Versatile Probe Interface (TekVPI)

These probes support two-way communication with the oscilloscope through on-screen menus and remotely through programmable support. The remote control is useful in applications like an ATE (automated test environment) where you want the system to preset probe parameters.

2.TPA-BNC Adapter

The TPA-BNC Adapter allows you to use Tek Probe II probe capabilities, such as providing probe power, and passing scaling and unit information to the oscilloscope.

NOTE. To use a TekVPI probe and a TPA-BNC adapter, connect a TekVPI external power adapter (Tektronix part number 119 7465 XX) to the side panel

Probe Power connector.

Installation

3.Plain BNC Interfaces

Some probes use TekProbe capabilities to pass the waveform signal and scaling to the oscilloscope. Other probes

only pass the signal and there is no communication.

4.Digital Probe Interface (MSO2000 series only)

The P6316 probe provides 16 channels of digital (on or off state) information.

For more information on the many probes available for use with DPO2000 and MSO2000 series oscilloscopes, refer to www.tektronix.com.

Securing the Oscilloscope

1.Use a standard laptop computer style security lock to secure your oscilloscope to your location.

This photo also shows the optional DPO2CONN module installed. The module provides an Ethernet port and a Video Out port for the oscilloscopes.

Powering On the Oscilloscope

Ground the Oscilloscope and Yourself

Before pushing the power switch, connect the oscilloscope to an electrically neutral reference point, such as earth ground. Do this by plugging the three-pronged power cord into an outlet grounded to earth ground.

Grounding the oscilloscope is necessary for safety and to take accurate measurements. The oscilloscope needs to share the same ground as any circuits that you are testing.

To connect the power cord and power on the oscilloscope:

Quick Tips

If you are working with static sensitive components, ground yourself. Static electricity that builds up on your body can damage static-sensitive components. Wearing a grounding strap safely sends

static charges on your body to earth ground.
