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 D egree 1. No pollution or only dry, n onconductive 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

P 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.

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).

Getting Started

Probe Connection

The osc grounded power supply, a grounded printer, or a grounded computer.

Most o 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.

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 me

asurement 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 P5200 High Voltage Differential Probe, with the TPS2000B series oscilloscopes. The P5200 High Voltage Differential Probe requires an oscilloscope with grounded inputs and the TPS2000B series oscilloscopes have ﬂoating inputs (isolated inputs).

These voltage ratings depend on the probe and your application. (See page 123, TPS2000B Speciﬁcations.)

This manual contains more information on probe safety. (See page 10, Probe Safety.)

ou must attach the probe re ference lead for each channel directly to your circuit.

Y These attachments are required because the oscilloscope channels are electrically isolated; they do not share a common connection. Use the shortest possible reference lead with each probe to maintain good signal ﬁdelity.

The probe reference lead presents a higher capacitive load to the circuit under test than the probe tip. When taking a ﬂoating measurement between two nodes of a circuit, attach the probe reference lead to the lowest impedance or least dynamic of the two nodes.

BNC Connectors

Unterminated BNC Inputs

Installation

The oscillosco connector. The black bayonet on the outside of the BNC connectors does not provide electrical contact. For a good connection, make sure your probe or cable connector is pushed on and twist locked. Replace cables or probes that have worn connectors.

The black bayonet on the outside of the BNC input connectors does not shield the connector input from unwanted electrical noise from nearby circuits. Connect a50Ω terminator or a BNC shorting plug to the input BNC connector when establishing a "No Signal" baseline condition.

You can use the oscilloscope AC adapter to power the oscilloscope or to charge battery source, follow these ste ps:

1. Insert the back of the oscilloscope.

2. Conne and an electrical outlet.

packs when installed. To use the oscilloscope AC adapter as the power

NOTE. The oscilloscope contains a temperature-sensing fan for cooling that

forces air through vents on the bottom and on the side of the oscilloscope. To allow air to ﬂow freely through the oscilloscope, do not block these vents.

Battery Packs

The oscillosco

pe can accommodate two TPSBAT battery packs. The product includes one battery pack that is not installed when shipped. The amount of time you can operate the oscilloscope with battery packs depends on the oscilloscope model.

Oscilloscope Amount of time to operate

2 channel 5.5 hours on one battery pack, 11 hours on two

4 channel 4.5 hours on one battery pack, 9 hours on two

NOTE. The o

scilloscope displays a message when approximately 10 minutes of

operating time remain on the battery packs.

This manu

al contains details on how to use, charge, calibrate, and replace battery packs. For example, battery packs need to be calibrated to accurately report available operating time. (See page 85, Managing TPSBAT Battery Packs.)

To install battery packs, follow these steps:

1. Press t

he battery compartment door latch on the right side panel and open the

battery compartment.

2. Orien

t the battery pack as shown on the oscilloscope, and install the pack.

Battery packs are keyed, so you can insert them only one way.
