There are no customer-performable adjustment procedures (calibrations) for the TBS2000B Series oscilloscopes. Please return the instrument to Tektronix if adjustment is required. Calibrations can only be performed at a Tektronix service center and require the use of traceable test equipment (signal sources and measuring equipment) to verify the performance of the instrument.

This section contains the information needed to do periodic and corrective maintenance on the oscilloscope, and repackaging instructions for returning the oscilloscope to Tektronix for service. Preventing ESD Before servicing this product, read the General Safety Summary and the Service Safety Summary at the front of the manual, as well as the following ESD information.
Do not spray liquids directly on the display surface. ■ Do not scrub the display with excessive force. CAUTION. To prevent getting moisture inside the instrument during external cleaning, do not spray any cleaning solutions directly onto the screen or instrument. TBS2000B Series Service Manual...
Use only deionized water when cleaning the front-panel buttons. Use a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution as a cleaner for cabinet parts. Before using any other type of cleaner, consult your Tektronix Service Center or representative.
If the instrument fails the Performance Verification tests, it must be returned to a Tektronix Service Center for repair and calibration. CAUTION. To prevent damage from electrical arcing, ensure that circuit boards and components are dry before applying power to the instrument.
If you are disassembling the instrument for cleaning, refer to the Inspection and Cleaning procedure for instructions. (See Inspection and cleaning on page 10) WARNING. Disconnect the power cord from the line voltage source. Failure to do so could cause serious injury or death. TBS2000B Series Service Manual...
This section requires that service personnel have the appropriate skills to work on this instrument, including PC troubleshooting and Microsoft Windows operating system skills. Details of PC and Windows operation and service are not in this manual. For assistance, contact your local Tektronix Service Center. TBS2000B Series Service Manual...
CAUTION. When you operate the four-channel instrument with the cabinet removed, the system fan will not cool the instrument. You must provide an external fan to cool the interior of the instrument. Failure to do so could cause instrument damage. TBS2000B Series Service Manual...
NOTE. Images show the power supply cable disconnected from the main board, to better show the test point locations. The power cable from the Power Supply must be connected to the Main board to test the +12 VDC value. TBS2000B Series Service Manual...
