MDO4000C Series Oscilloscope User Manual v
Important safety information
Preliminary
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 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, ensure that the product is properly grounded. Do not
disable the 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 be suitable for the product.
Observe all terminal ratings. To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all rating 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.
Observe all terminal ratings. To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all rating 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.
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.
vi MDO4000C Series Oscilloscope User Manual
Important safety information
Preliminary
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.
Wear eye protection. Wear eye protection if exposure to high-intensity rays or
laser radiation exists.
Do not operate in 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 clean
the product.
Provide proper ventilation. Refer to the manual's installation instructions 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 viewing the display and indicators.
Avoid improper or prolonged use of keyboards, pointers, and button pads.
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 care when lifting and carrying the product. This product is provided with
handles for lifting and carrying.
Use only the Tektronix rackmount hardware specified for this product.

Important safety information
Preliminary
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.
Connect and disconnect properly. Connect the probe output to the measurement
product before connecting the probe to the circuit under test. Connect the probe
reference lead to the circuit under test before connecting the probe input.
Disconnect the probe input and the probe reference lead from the circuit under
test before disconnecting the probe from the measurement product.
Connect and disconnect properly. De-energize the circuit under test before
connecting or disconnecting the current probe.
Connect the probe reference lead to earth ground only.
Do not connect a current probe to any wire that carries voltages above the current
probe voltage rating.
Inspect the probe and accessories. Before each use, inspect probe and accessories
for damage (cuts, tears, or defects in the probe body, accessories, or cable jacket).
Do not use if damaged.
Ground-referenced oscilloscope use. Do not float the reference lead of this probe
when using with ground-referenced oscilloscopes. The reference lead must be
connected to earth potential (0 V).

This product is intended for use in nonresidential areas only. Use in residential areas may cause electromagnetic
interference.
2
Emissions which exceed the levels required by this standard may occur when this equipment is connected to a test
object.
3
Equipment may not meet the immunity requirements of applicable listed standards when test leads and/or test probes
are connected due to coupling of electromagnetic interference onto those leads/probes. To minimize the influence of
electromagnetic interference, minimize the loop area between the unshielded portions of signal and associated return
leads, and keep leads as far away as possible from electromagnetic disturbance sources. Twisting unshielded test leads
together is an effective way to reduce loop area. For probes, keep the ground return lead as short as possible and close
to the probe body. Some probes have accessory probe tip adapters to accomplish this most effectively. In all cases,
observe all safety instructions for the probes or leads used.

For compliance with the EMC standards listed here, high quality shielded interface cables should be used.
