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.

WFM2300 and WFM2200A Waveform Monitors User Manual xi

To avoid fire or personal

injury

Use proper power cord. Use only the power cord specified for this product and

certified for the country of use.

Use proper power cord. Use only the power cord specified for this product and

certified for the country of use. Do not use the provided power cord for other

products.

Use proper voltage setting. Before applying power, ensure that the line selector is

in the proper position for the source being used.

Ground the product. This product is grounded through the grounding conductor of

the power cord. To avoid electric shock, the grounding conductor must be

connected to earth ground. Before making connections to the input or output

terminals of the product, ensure that the product is properly grounded. Do not

disable the power cord grounding connection.

Ground the product. This product is indirectly grounded through the grounding

conductor of the mainframe power cord. To avoid electric shock, the grounding

conductor must be connected to earth ground. Before making connections to the

input or output terminals of the product, ensure that the product is properly

grounded. Do not disable the power cord grounding connection.

Power disconnect. The power switch disconnects the product from the power

source. See instructions for the location. Do not position the equipment so that it

is difficult to disconnect the power switch; it must remain accessible to the user at

all times to allow for quick disconnection if needed.

Power disconnect. The power cord disconnects the product from the power

source. See instructions for the location. Do not position the equipment so that it

is difficult to operate the power cord; it must remain accessible to the user at all

times to allow for quick disconnection if needed.

Use proper AC adapter. Use only the AC adapter specified for this product.

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.

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.

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 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 mains

or Category II, III, or IV circuits.

Important safety information

xii WFM2300 and WFM2200A Waveform Monitors User Manual

Do not operate without covers. Do not operate this product 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 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.

Replace batteries properly. Replace batteries only with the specified type and

rating.

Recharge batteries properly. Recharge batteries for the recommended charge

cycle only.

Use proper fuse. Use only the fuse type and rating specified for this product.

Wear eye protection. Wear eye protection if exposure to high-intensity rays or

laser radiation exists.

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.

Provide proper ventilation. Refer to the manual's installation instructions for

details on installing the product so it has proper ventilation.

Slots and openings are provided for ventilation and should never be covered or

otherwise obstructed. Do not push objects into any of the openings.

Provide a safe working environment. Always place the product in a location

convenient for viewing the display 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 stress injuries.

Use care when lifting and carrying the product. This product is provided with

handles for lifting and carrying.

Important safety information

WFM2300 and WFM2200A Waveform Monitors User Manual xiii

WARNING. The product is heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage

to the device get help when lifting or carrying the product.

WARNING. The product is heavy. Use a two-person lift or a mechanical aid.

Use only the Tektronix rackmount hardware specified for this 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 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.

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
