Tektronix TBS2104 [12/144] Probes and test leads

Important safet

y information

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 p roduct with covers or panels removed, or with the case open.

Hazardous voltage exposure is possible.

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 m

echanical 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 y ou clean the product.

Provide proper ventilation. To ensure proper cooling, keep the sides and rear of the instrument clear of obstructions.

Slots and openings are provided for ventilation and should never be covered or otherwise obstructed. Do not push objects

Provide a safe working environment. Always place the product i n a location convenient for viewing the d isplay

and indicators.

Avoid improper or prolonged use of keyboards, pointers, and button pads. Improper or prolonged keyboard or pointer use

may result in serious injury.

Be sure your work area meets applicable ergonomic standards. Consult with an ergonomics professional to avoid s tress

injuries.

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 ﬁnger guards 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.
