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.
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.
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.
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.

Tektronix to be suitable for the product.
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.
TBS1000C Series Oscilloscopes User Manual 15

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.
Note: Be aware that condensation may occur if a unit is moved from a cold to a warm
environment.
Remove the input signals before you clean the product.
openings are provided for ventilation and should never be covered or otherwise obstructed. Do not push
objects into any of the openings.
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

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.

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.
Pollution degree
Pollution Degree 2 (as defined in IEC 61010-1). Note: Rated for indoor, dry location use only.

TPP0100, TPP0200 series 10X passive probes information
The TPP0100, TPP0200 Series 10X Passive Probes are high impedance, passive probes with 10X attenuation. They are designed for use
with TBS1000C oscilloscopes. These oscilloscopes have 14 pF of input capacitance.
The compensation range of these probes is 8 to 18 pF.
TBS1000C Series Oscilloscopes User Manual 27
The probes have no user- or Tektronix-serviceable parts.
Warning: Do not float the TPP0100, TPP0200 probes on any oscilloscope.
Connecting the probe to the oscilloscope
Connect the probe as shown in the illustrations below.
Operating requirements
Compensating the probe
Due to variations in oscilloscope input characteristics, the low-frequency compensation of the probe may need adjustment after moving the
probe from one oscilloscope channel to another.
If a 1 kHz calibrated square wave displayed at 1 ms/division shows significant differences between the leading and trailing edges, perform
the following steps to optimize low-frequency compensation:
1. Connect the probe to the oscilloscope channel that you plan to use for your measurements.
2. Connect the probe to the probe compensation output terminals on the oscilloscope front panel.
Warning:
3. Push Autoset or otherwise adjust your oscilloscope to display a stable waveform.
4. Adjust the trimmer in the probe until you see a perfectly flat-top square wave on the display. (See illustration.)
Warning:
To avoid electric shock, only connect to the Probe Comp signal on the oscilloscope when making this adjustment.
To avoid electric shock, only use the insulated adjustment tool when making compensation adjustments.
TBS1000C Series Oscilloscopes User Manual 28
Connecting the probe to the circuit
Use the standard accessories included with the probe to connect to your circuit.
Warning: To avoid electric shock when using the probe or accessories, keep fingers behind the finger guard of the probe body
and accessories.
To reduce risk of shock, ensure the ground lead and ground spring are fully mated before connecting the probe to the circuit under
test.
