measurement category rating. Other circuits within the product
do not have either rating.
Environmental compliance
This section provides information about the environmental impact of the
product.
Product end-of-life handling
Observe the following guidelines when recycling an instrument or
component:
Equipment
Production of this equipment required the extraction and
recycling use of natural resources. The equipment may contain
substances that could be harmful to the environment
or human health if improperly handled at the product's
end of life. To avoid release of such substances into
the environment and to reduce the use of natural
resources, we encourage you to recycle this product in
an appropriate system that will ensure that most of the
materials are reused or recycled appropriately.
This symbol indicates that this product complies with
the applicable European Union requirements according to
Directives 2012/19/EU and 2006/66/EC on waste electrical
and electronic equipment (WEEE) and batteries. For
information about recycling options, check the Tektronix
Web site (www.tek.com/productrecycling).
General safety summary
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.
Before use, always check the product with a known source to be sure it is
operating correctly.
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.
To avoid fire or personal injury
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.
Connect the probe output to the measurement instrument before
connecting the probe to the circuit under test. Connect the probe
reference lead to the circuit under test before connecting the probe
input. Disconnect the probe input and the probe reference lead from the
circuit under test before disconnecting the probe from the measurement
instrument.
Observe all terminal ratings
To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all rating 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.
The measurement terminals on this product are not rated for connection
to Category III or IV circuits.
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 off and 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.
Do not operate in wet/damp conditions
Be aware that condensation may occur if a unit is moved from a cold to a
warm environment.
Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere
Keep product surfaces clean and dry
Remove the input signals before you clean the product.
Probes and test leads
Before connecting probes or test leads, connect the power cord from the
power connector to a properly grounded power outlet.
Keep fingers behind the protective barrier, protective finger guard, or
tactile indicator on the probes. Remove all probes, test leads and
accessories that are not in use.
Use only correct Measurement Category (CAT), voltage, temperature,
altitude, and amperage rated probes, test leads, and adapters for any
measurement.
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, keep the probe wire as far
from the tip and high voltage circuits as possible. The probe
wire voltage rating is less than the probe tip voltage rating.
Therefore the probe wire may not provide adequate protection.
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not use the probe if the
wear indicator on the cable becomes visible. Contact Tektronix
at tek.com for a replacement.
Beware of high voltages
Understand the voltage ratings for the probe you are using and do not
exceed those ratings. Two ratings are important to know and understand:
• The maximum measurement voltage from the probe tip to the probe
reference lead.
• The maximum floating voltage from the probe reference lead to earth
ground.
These two voltage ratings depend on the probe and your application.
Refer to the Specifications section of the manual for more information.
WARNING: To prevent electrical shock, do not exceed the
maximum measurement or maximum floating voltage for
the oscilloscope input BNC connector, probe tip, or probe
reference lead.
Ground-referenced oscilloscope use
Do not float the reference lead of this probe when using with ground-
referenced oscilloscopes. The reference lead must be connected to earth
potential (0 V).
Floating measurement use
Do not float the reference lead of this probe above the rated float voltage.
