ety information
This manual c
for safe operation and to keep the product in a safe condition.
To safely perform service on this product, additional information is provided at
the end of this section.(See page 7, Service safety summary.)
General safety summary
Use the product only as specified. Review the following safety precautions to
avoid injury and prevent damage to this product or any products connected to it.
Carefully read all instructions. Retain these instructions for future reference.
Comply with local and national safety codes.
For correct and safe operation of the product, it is essential that you follow
generally accepted safety procedures in addition to the safety precautions specified
in this manual.
The product is designed to be used by trained personnel only.
Only qualified personnel who are aware of the hazards involved should remove
the cover for repair, maintenance, or adjustment.
ontains information and warnings that must be followed by the user
To avoid fi re or personal
injury
Before use, always check the product with a known source to be sure it is
operating correctly.
This product is not intended for detection of hazardous voltages.
Use personal protective equipment to prevent shock and arc blast injury where
hazardous live conductors are exposed.
While using this product, you may need to access other parts of a larger system.
Read the safety sections of the other component manuals for warnings and
cautions related to operating the system.
When incorporating this equipment into a system, the safety of that system is the
responsibility of the assembler of the system.
Use proper power cord. Use only the power cord specified for this product and
certified for the country of use.
Do not use the provided power cord for other products.
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, make sure that the product is properly grounded.
4MDO3000 Installation and Safety Instructions
Important safety information
Do not disable t
he power cord grounding connection.
Power disconnect. The power cord disconnects the product from the power
source. See instructions for the location. Do not position the equipment so that
it is difficult to operate 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 b e suitable for the product.
Observe all terminal ratings. To avo id 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 exceed the
Measurement Category (CAT) rating and voltage or current rating of the lowest
rated individual component of a product, probe, or accessory. Use caution when
using 1:1 test leads because the probe tip voltage is directly transmitted to the
product.
Do not apply a potential to any terminal, including the common terminal, that
exceeds the maximum rating of that terminal.
Do not float the common terminal above the rated voltage for that terminal.
Do not operate without covers. Do not operate this product with covers or panels
removed, or with the case open. Hazardous voltage exposure is possible.
Avoid exposed circuitry. Do not touch exposed connections and components
when power is present.
Do not operate with suspected failures. If you suspect that there is damage to this
product, have it inspected by qualified service personnel.
Disable the product if it is damaged. Do not use the product if it is damaged
or operates incorrectly. If in doubt about safety of the product, turn it off and
disconnect the power cord. Clearly mark the product to prevent its further
operation.
Before use, inspect voltage probes, test leads, and accessories for mechanical
damage and replace when damaged. Do not use probes or test leads if they are
damaged, if there is exposed metal, or if a wear indicator shows.
Examine the exterior of the product before you use it. Look for cracks or missing
pieces.
Use only specified replacement parts.
Use proper fuse. Use only the fuse type and rating specified for this product.
MDO3000 Installation and Safety Instructions5
Important safety information
Do not operate i
n wet/damp conditions. Be aware that condensation may occur if
a unit is moved from a cold to a warm environment.
Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere.
Keep product surfaces clean and dry. Remove the input signals before you c lean
the product.
Provide proper ventilation. Refer to the installation instructions in the manual for
details on installing the product so it has proper ventilation.
Slots and openings are provided for ventilation and should never be covered or
otherwise obstructed. Do not push objects into any of the openings.
Provide a safe working environment. Always place the product in a location
convenient for v iewing the display and indicators.
Avoid improper or prolonged use of keyboards, pointers, and button p ads.
Improper or prolonged keyboard or pointer use may result in serious injury.
Be sure your work area meets applicable ergonomic standards. Consult with an
ergonomics professional to avoid stress injuries.
Use only the Tektronix rackmount hardware specified for this product.
Probes and test leads
Before connecting probes or test leads, connect the power cord from the power
connector to a properly grounded power outlet.
Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
Remove all probes, test leads and accessories that are not in use.
Use only correct Measurement Category (CAT), voltage, temperature, altitude,
and amperage rated probes , test leads, and adapters for any measurement.
Beware of high voltages. Understand the voltage ratings for the probe you are
using and do not exceed those ratings. Two ratings are important to know and
understand:
The maximum measurement voltage from the probe tip to the probe reference
lead.
The maximum floating voltage from the probe reference lead to earth ground
These two voltage ratings depend on the probe and your application. Refer to the
Specifications section of the manual for more information.
WARNING. To prevent electrical shock, do not exceed the maximum measurement
or maximum floating voltage for the oscilloscope input BNC connector, probe
tip, or probe reference lead.

control is useful in applications like ATE where you want the system to preset
probe parameters.
2. Tektronix Versatile Probe Interface (TekVPI) for Passive Probes
These probes build upon the functionality of the TekVPI interface. Each
probe is matched with its corresponding oscilloscope channel, allowing
the oscilloscope to optimize the signal input path. This provides AC
compensation across the frequency band.
3. TPA-BNC Adapter
The TPA-BNC Adapter allows you to use TEKPROBE II probe capabilities,
such as providing probe power, and passing scaling and unit information to
the oscilloscope.

scaling to the oscilloscope. Some only pass the signal and there is no other
communication.
5. Logic Probe Interface
The P6316 probe provides 16 channels of digital (on or off state) information.
6. The TPA-N-VPI Adapter a llows you to use TekVPI probes in the RF input.
