Do not twist the fiber-optic cable; twisting the cable will stress the optical
fibers.
Do not allow kinks or knots to develop in the fiber-optic cable.
Avoid putting tension on the fiber-optic cable.

Avoid over-bending the sensor tip cables; do not exceed the minimum bend
radius of 2.0 inches (5.1 cm).
Avoid crushing the cables by accidentally running over the cable with a chair
wheel or by dropping a heavy object onto the cable.
Never support the weight of the sensor head or controller by the fiber-optic
cable.
Store the measurement system in the supplied carrying case when not in use.

WARNING. RF burns can occur while using t his measurement system. Anyone
making measurements that might come within the RF burn regions indicated in
the following figure should be familiar with the hazards of working with signals in
these regions and take appropriate action, such as RF shielding for the DUT.
While measuring high frequency common mode signals, there is a risk of

Flashing green. The unit has not completed the power-up sequence.
This is typically due to a communication fault between the host
oscilloscope and the IsoVu unit. Disconnect the TekVPI comp box
and then reattach the comp box.

Tektronix for service.
Flashing red/yellow. The unit has failed the power on self tests.

WAR NI NG . This measurement system contains laser sources; exposing these
laser sources may cause laser exposure. Exc ept for the sensor tip cables on the
sensor head, do not remove any plastic or metallic covers from the sensor head

WAR NI NG . Do not connect the measurement system to an energized circuit to
avoid the risk of shock. Always de-energize the circuit-under-test before installing
or removing the tip cable from the circuit-under-test. The plastic case of the
sensor head and the shield tip of the sensor cable do not supply the isolation.
