TDS3000B Series Read This First
The following specification, performance verification, and
information changes and additions have been made to the following
TDS3000B Series instrument manuals.
TDS3000B User Manual Changes
Make the following changes to the TDS3000B series user manual:
1. In the General Safety Summary section, page viii, add the
following new heading and text at the bottom of the page:
Mercury Notification
This oscilloscope uses an LCD backlight lamp that contains
mercury. Disposal may be regulated due to environmental
considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please
contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries
Alliance (www.eiae.org).
2. In Appendix A (Specifications), page A-6, Edge Trigger
Sensitivity, replace the specification with the following:
≤ 0.6 div from DC to 50 MHz, increasing to 1 div at oscilloscope bandwidth.
3. In Appendix A (Specifications), page A-12, EMC Certifications
and Compliances, add the following new text below
EN 61000-3-2 AC power line harmonic emissions:
EN 61000-3-3
Voltage changes, fluctuations and flicker
*P071171000*
071171000

4. In Appendix A (Specifications), page A-13, EMC Certifications
and Compliances, footnote 3, replace the text with the following:
The increase in trace noise while subjected to a test field (3 V/m
over the frequency range 80 MHz to 1 GHz, with 80% amplitude
modulation at 1 kHz) is not to exceed 8 major divisions peak- topeak. Ambient conducted fields may induce triggering when the
trigger threshold is offset less than 4 major divisions from ground
reference.
5. In Appendix E (Performance Verification), Check Channel
Edge-Trigger Sensitivity, page E-15, step 20, replace step 20 with
the following steps:
20a. Set the output amplitude of the leveled sine wave
generator so the peak--to--peak measurement is approximately
2.5 V. Note the generator output amplitude setting.
20b. Set the generator output amplitude to one fifth of the
output amplitude that was set in step 20a.
TDS3000B Service Manual Changes
Make the following changes to the TDS3000B Series Service
Manual (Tektronix part number 071-0972-03)
1. In the General Safety Summary section, page x, replace the
Components That Contain Mercury heading and text with the
following:
Mercury Notification
This oscilloscope uses an LCD backlight lamp that contains
mercury. Disposal may be regulated due to environmental
considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please
contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries
Alliance (www.eiae.org).
2. In Section 1 (Specifications), page 1 --5, Edge Trigger Sensitivity
specification, replace the specification with the following:
≤ 0.6 div from DC to 50 MHz, increasing to 1 div at oscilloscope bandwidth.
