Emissions which exceed the levels required by this s tandard may occur when this equipment is connected to a test object.
To ensure compliance with the EMC standards listed here, high quality shielded interface cables should be used.
Instrument rebooting may be experienced where the EUT takes longer than 10 seconds to recover from a transient immunity test.
The instrument will exhibit ≤ 4.0 division waveform displacement and ≤ 8.0 division increase in peak-to-peak noise when subjected
to radiated interference per IEC 61000-4-3.
The instrument will exhibit ≤ 1.0 division waveform displacement and ≤ 2.0 division increase in peak-to-peak noise when subjected
to conducted interference per IEC 61000-4-6.

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 c lean 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 c onductive dust, rain, or snow. Typical
outdoor locations.
Pollution Degree
Pollution Degree 2 (as defined in IEC 61010-1). Note: Rated for indoor use only.
Installation (Overvoltage) Category Descriptions
Te rminals on this product may have different installation (overvoltage) category designations. T he installation categories are:
Measurement Category IV. For measurements performed at the source of low-voltage installation.
Measurement Category III. For measurements performed in the building installation.
Measurement Category II. For measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the low-voltage installation.
Measurement Category I. For measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to MAINS.
Overvoltage Category
Overvoltage Category II (as defined in IEC 61010-1).

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 display.
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. Avoid getting moisture inside the unit during external cleaning. Use only enough cleaning solution to dampen
the cloth or swab.
CAUTION. To avoid damage to the surface of the oscilloscope or probes, do not use any abrasive or chemical cleaning
agents.

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 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 c orresponding
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.
4. BNC Interfaces
Some of these use TEKPROBE
capabilities to pass the waveform signal
and scaling to the oscilloscope. Some
only pass the signal and there is no other
communication.
5. Logic Probe Interface
The P6616 probe provides 16 channels
of digital (on or off state) information.
6. The TPA-N-VPI Adapter allows you to
use TekVPI probes in the RF input.
For more information on the many probes available for use with MDO4000 Series oscilloscopes, refer to www.tektronix.com.
