Pollution Degree
Description
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
b
e expected. This location is a typical office/home environment. Temporary
condensation occurs only when the product is out of service.
P
ollution Degree 3 . Conductive pollution, or dry, nonconductive pollution
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.
Pollution Degree
Pollution Degree 2 (as defined in IEC 61010-1). Note: Rated for indoor use only.

Help System
The oscilloscope has a Help system with topics that cover all the features of the
oscilloscope. You can use the Help system to display several kinds of information:
General information about understanding and using the oscilloscope, such
as Using the Menu System.
Information about specific menus and controls, such as the Vertical Position
Control.
Advice about problems you may face while using an oscilloscope, such as
Reducing Noise.
The Help system provides several ways to find the information you need:
context-sensitive help, hyperlinks, and an index.
Context-Sensitive Help
The os
cilloscope displays information about the last menu displayed on the
screen when you push the Help front-panel button. When viewing help topics,
an LED lights next to the multipurpose knob to indicate that the knob is active.
If the topic uses more than one page, turn the multipurpose knob to move from
page to page within the topic.

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).
The osc
illoscope inputs float even when the oscilloscope is connected to a
grounded power supply, a grounded printer, or a grounded computer.
Most o
ther oscilloscopes share a common re ference for the oscilloscope channel
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.
Probe Connection
WAR NI NG . To prevent electrical shock, do not exceed the measurement or floating
vo
ltage ratings for the oscilloscope input BNC connector, probe tip, or probe
reference lead.
TPS2000B Series Digital Oscilloscope User Manual 3
Getting Started
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).
WARNING. Do not float the TPP0101 or TPP0201 probe reference lead to >
30 V
RMS
. Use the P5120 probe (floatable to 600 V
RMS
CAT II or 300 V
RMS
CAT III)
or simi
larly rated, passive, high voltage probe (not the ground referenced P5100
probe), or an appropriately rated, high voltage, differential probe when floating
the reference lead above 30 V
RMS
, subject to the ratings of such high voltage probe.
To avoid electric shock when using probes with exposed metal parts, do not
connect the reference lead to voltages above 30 V
RMS
.
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.)
Attach the Reference
Leads Correctly
Y
ou must attach the probe re ference lead for each channel directly to your circuit.
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.

Getting Started
BNC Connectors
The oscillosco
pe BNC reference connection is made on the inside of the BNC
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.
Unterminated BNC Inputs
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.
Installation
You can use the oscilloscope AC adapter to power the oscilloscope or to charge
battery
packs when installed. To use the oscilloscope AC adapter as the power
source, follow these ste ps:
1. Insert
the DC connector end of the adapter into the DC INPUT connector on
the back of the oscilloscope.
2. Conne
ct the appropriate power cord between the oscilloscope AC adapter
and an electrical outlet.
If ba
ttery packs are installed, an LED lights on the front of the oscilloscope to
indicate when the battery packs are charging.
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.
For s
ingle battery pack use, install a pack in the lower receptacle. This lowers
the center of gravity.
3. Clo
se the battery compartment door.
