TCP202 Instruction Manual iii

General Safety Summary

Review the following safety precautions to avoid injury and prevent

damage to this product or any products connected to it.

Injury Precautions

Do Not Operate in Wet/Damp Conditions. To avoid electric shock, do not

operate this product in wet or damp conditions.

Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere. To avoid injury or fire

hazard, do not operate this product in an explosive atmosphere.

Observe Maximum Working Voltage. Do not use this product on bare

wires above 300 V (DC + peak AC).

Product Damage Precautions

Do Not Drop the Probe Head. The probe head contains fragile

components that can be damaged by a high impact. Take care to

prevent the probe head from dropping on the floor or other hard

surface. Secure the probe head in a safe location when not in use.

Do Not Operate With Suspected Failures. If you suspect there is damage

to this product, have it inspected by qualified service personnel.

Do Not Immerse in Liquids. Clean the probe using only a damp cloth.

Refer to cleaning instructions.

TCP202 Instruction Manual 1

Getting Started

This section describes the TCP202 Current Probe and gives

instructions on how to install and functionally test the probe.

Features and Accessories

The TCP202 Current Probe (Figure 1) is a 50 MHz current probe for

use with Tektronix oscilloscopes that have the TekProbe interface.

The probe can measure up to 15 A (DC + peak AC).

Figure 1: TCP202 Current Probe

Getting Started

2TCP202 Instruction Manual

Probe Head. The probe head contains a Hall Effect

device for measuring current. The jaw of the probe

clamps on any wire (including insulation) that is less

than or equal to 3.8 mm (0.15 inches) in diameter.

TekProbe Interface. The TekProbe interface provides

power, signal, and probe characteristic data.

If your oscilloscope does not support the TekProbe

interface, you can use the optional 1103 probe power

supply as an effective interface. Contact your local

Tektronix representative for more information.

Degauss. The degauss button removes residual

magnetism from the probe core that would otherwise

cause measurement errors.

Balance Thumbwheel. The balance thumbwheel

compensates for minor DC offsets of the probe output.

Coarse Balance Adjustment. The coarse balance

adjustment centers the range of the balance thumb-

wheel. Use this adjustment only if the thumbwheel

does not have enough range.

Calibrator (optional). With some TDS oscilloscopes, you

can compensate the probe for maximum accuracy using

the optional calibrator. Use the calibrator only if your

oscilloscope displays the Asymbol when the current

probe is connected. (For ordering information, see

Replaceable Parts starting on page 44.)
