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.

NOTE. If you are installing the instrument in a dedicated rack, refer to the instruction sheet that comes with the rackmount kit
for proper installation procedures.
When the MTS400P system is mounted in a 19-inch rack, verify that there is at least one unit of clearance above the
MTS400P system.
AC Line Voltage Requirement
Check that your location provides the proper electrical power requirements. Refer to Table 2.
Table2: AClinepowerrequirement
Parameter Description
Line voltage range 100 to 240 V
Line frequency 50/60 Hz
Maximum power 180 VA
CAUTION. The instrument does not have a power switch, but does have an O n/Standby switch. When you connect the
power cable to the AC line connector, power is applied to the power supply standby circuit of the instrument. Read the power
application instructions before plugging the power cable into a power source. (See page 9, Powering on the Instrument.)
Power Cord Requirement
Ensure that you are using the proper power cord for your location. Connect the power cord from the rear-panel power
connector to the power system. (See page 73, Accessories.)
CAUTION. The instrument is shipped with a power cord appropriate for use with your power system (normal 115 V power
system or 230 V power system). If the instrument is to be used with a power system other than that specified in the order, the
power cord must be replaced with one appropriate for the power source used.
Hardware Installation
The MTS400P system is designed to be portable. The analysis functions (if enabled) can be used with no installation other
than providing power and making a transport stream available on the hard disk of the instrument. The monitoring and
real-time analysis functions similarly require power, but also require connection to an external transport stream.
The MTS400P system is configured with the software and hardware options that you ordered at the time of purchase.
MTS400P system options can be added using upgrade kits available from Tektronix.
To install the instrument, plug the keyboard and mouse into one of the front-panel USB connectors. Ensure that the parallel
port software key is in place and that the securing screws are tightened to 4 inch-pounds of torque (45 Newton centimeters).
