Do not use the provided power cord for other products.
Connect and disconnect properly. Connect the probe output
to the measurement instrument 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 instrument.
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.
Ground-referenced oscilloscope use. Do not float the reference
lead of a TPP-series probe when using with the TBS1000B
oscilloscope. The reference lead must be connected to earth
potential (0 V).

Observe all terminal ratings. To avoid 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.
Connect the probe reference lead to earth ground only.
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.
Vertical measurement overrange (clipping). Waveforms that
extend beyond the screen (overrange) and display a ? in the
measurement readout indicates an invalid value. Adjust the
vertical scaling to ensure the readout is valid.
Avoid electric shock. Do not connect or disconnect probes
or test leads while they are connected to a voltage source.
When using probe accessories, never exceed the lowest rating
of the probe or its accessory, whichever is less, including the
measurement category and voltage rating.
Power disconnect. The power switch 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 switch; it must remain accessible to the user at all times
to allow for quick disconnection if needed.
Do not op erate without covers. Do not operate this product with
covers or panels removed, or with the case open. Hazardous
voltage exposure is possible.
Do not operate with su spected failures. If you suspect that
there is damage to this p roduct, 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 ab
out 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.
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.
Avoid exposed circuitry. Do not touch exposed connections
and components when pow er is present.
Provide proper ventilation. The oscilloscope cools by
convection. Keep two inches of clearance on the sides, rear,
and top of the product to allow adequate air fl ow.
Do not operate in wet/damp conditions.
Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere.
Keep product surfaces clean and dry. 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 clear glass display filter.
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. To avoid damage to the
oscilloscope or probes, do not expose them to sprays,
liquids, or solvents, do not use any abrasive or chemical
cleaning agents.

Environmental considerations
Refer to the User Manual for information about the
environmental impact of the product.
Operating overview
Refer to the User Manual for complete operating information
and product specifications.
Power source
Use a power source that delivers 90 to 264 V
66 Hz. If you have a 400 Hz power source, it must deliver 90 to
132 V
, 360 to 440 Hz. Power rating is 30 W maximum.
AC RMS
This Oscilloscope operates from a single-phase power source
with the neutral conductor at or near earth ground. It is intended
for only ground-referenced measurements. A protective ground
connection through the grounding conductor in the power cord
is essential for safe operation.
Power the unit on by connecting the supplied power cord to
the rear-panel power connector (1). Push the power button (2)
on the top of the oscilloscope to turn the oscilloscope on.
To power the unit off, push the power button on the top
of the oscilloscope again to turn the oscilloscope off. To
remove power completely, disconnect the power cord from the
rear-panel of the oscilloscope.

Probe information
The TPP0051, TPP0101, & TPP0201 probes are high
impedance, passive probes with 10X attenuation. The probes
have no serviceable parts.
WARNING. Do not float the probes on any oscilloscope.
To avoid electric shock when using the probe, keep fingers
behind the guard on the probe body, do not touch metallic
portions of the probe head while it is connected to a voltage
source, and ensure the ground lead or ground spring are
fully mated before connecting the probe to the circuit under
test.
Connecting the probe to the oscilloscope
Connect the probe as shown i n the illustration.
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.)
Connecting the probe to the circuit
Use t he standard accessories included with the probe to connect
to your circuit. Check and observe probe ratings before using
probes. A guard around the probe body provides a finger
barrier for protection from electric shock. Connect the probe to
the oscilloscope, and connect the ground lead to ground before
you take any measurements.

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.
WARNING. To avoid electric shock, only connect to the
Probe Comp signal on the oscilloscope when making this
adjustment, and only use the insulated adjustment tool
when making compensation adjustments.
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.
