Use the product only as specified. Review the following safety precautions to
avoid injury and prevent damage to this product or any products connected to it.
Carefully read all instructions. Retain these instructions for future reference.
This product shall be used in accordance with local and national 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.
ontains information and warnings that must be followed by the user
To avoid fire or personal
injury
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.
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.
Power disconnect. The power cord disconnects the product from the power
source. See instructions for the location. Do not position the equipment sothat
it is difficult to operate the power cord; it must remain accessible to the user at
all times to allow for quick disconnection if needed.

Observe and follow the ratings marked on the AC adapter.
Connect and disconnect properly. Do not connect or disconnect probes or test
leads while they are connected to a voltage source.
Use only insulated voltage probes, test leads, and adapters supplied with the
product, or indicated by Tektronix to be suitable for the product.
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. 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.
Do not float the common terminal above the rated voltage for that terminal.
Do not operate without covers. Do not operate this product with covers or panels
removed, or with the case open. Hazardous voltage exposure is possible.
apter. Use only the AC adapter specified for this product.
Avoid exposed circuitry. Do not touch exposed connections and components
when power is present.
Do not operate with suspected failures. If you suspect that there is damage to this
product, 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 about safety of the product, turn it offand
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.
Replace batteries properly. Replace batteries only with the specified type and
rating.
Recharge batteries properly. Recharge batteries for the recommended charge
cycle only.

Taking Floating Measurements
For taking floating measurements, the oscilloscope channel and Ext Trig inputs (3
MΩ ) are isolated from the oscilloscope chassis and from each other. This allows
independent floating measurements with channel 1, channel 2, and Ext Trig (and
with channel 3 and channel 4 on four channel models).

and Ext Trig inputs. This reference is typically connected to earth ground through
the power cord. With common-referenced oscilloscopes, all input signals must
have the same common reference when you take any multi-channel measurements.
Without differential preamplifiers or external signal isolators, common-referenced
oscilloscopes are not suitable for taking floating measurements.

WARNING. To prevent electrical shock, do not exceed the measurement or floating
voltage ratings for the oscilloscope input BNC connector, probe tip, or probe
reference lead.
Understand the voltage ratings for the probes you are using and do not exceed
those ratings. The following voltage ratings are important to know and understand:
The maximum measurement voltage from the probe tip and BNC signal to the
probe reference lead
The maximum measurement voltage from the probe tip and BNC shell to
earth ground
The maximum floating voltage from the probe reference lead to earth ground
WARNING. To avoid an electric shock, do not use probes that require a ground
connection, such as the Tektronix P5200A High Voltage Differential Probe, with
the TPS2000B series oscilloscopes. The P5200A High Voltage Differential
requires an oscilloscope with grounded inputs and the TPS2000B series
Probe
oscilloscopes have floating inputs (isolated inputs).

To avoid electric shock when using probes with exposed metal parts, do not

These voltage ratings depend on the probe and your application. (See page 125,
