Important safety information Important safety information This manual contains information and warnings that must be followed by the user for safe operation and to keep the product in a safe condition. To safely perform service on this product, additional information is provided at the end of this section. (See page v, Service safety summary.) General safety summary Use the product only as specified.
Important safety information Observe all terminal ratings. To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all ratings 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.
Important safety information Beware of high voltages. Understand the voltage ratings for the probe you are using and do not exceed those ratings. Connect and disconnect properly. De-energize the circuit under test before connecting or disconnecting the current probe. Connect the probe reference lead to earth ground only. Do not connect a current probe to any wire that carries voltages above the current probe voltage rating. Inspect the probe and accessories.
Important safety information Terms in this manual These terms may appear in this manual: WARNING. Warning statements identify conditions or practices that could result in injury or loss of life. CAUTION. Caution statements identify conditions or practices that could result in damage to this product or other property. Symbols and terms on the product These terms may appear on the product: DANGER indicates an injury hazard immediately accessible as you read the marking.
Compliance information Compliance information This section lists the safety and environmental standards with which the instrument complies. Safety compliance This section lists the safety standards with which the product complies and other safety compliance information. EU declaration of conformity – low voltage Compliance was demonstrated to the following specification as listed in the Official Journal of the European Union: Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC. EN 61010-1.
Compliance information Safety class Class 1 – grounded product. Pollution degree descriptions A measure of the contaminants that could occur in the environment around and within a product. Typically the internal environment inside a product is considered to be the same as the external. Products should be used only in the environment for which they are rated. Pollution degree 1. No pollution or only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs.
Compliance information Environmental considerations 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 recycling. Production of this equipment required the extraction and 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.
Preface Preface This document describes how to connect and use the following models of the BB1000 breakout box: Model BB1000-NA: 120 V North America Model BB1000-EU: 240 V Europe Model BB1000-UK: 240 V United Kingdom x Instruction Manual
BB1000-xx breakout box BB1000-xx breakout box The simplest and safest way to make a connection to your device under test is to use the Tektronix BB1000-xx breakout box. The breakout box provides a line output socket to power the device under test, and 4 x 4 mm sockets for direct connection to the Tektronix power analyzer terminals.
BB1000-xx breakout box Connecting the breakout box CAUTION. For protection against mismatched connections, for example, connecting the voltage connection to the current inputs on a measurement system, the breakout box should only be used with Tektronix power analyzers. CAUTION. The current drawn by the device under test must not exceed the current rating of the BB1000-xx power cord (10 Amps). The maximum current drawn by the device under test cannot exceed 10 ARMS. Connection sequence 1.
BB1000-xx breakout box Measuring currents of 500 mA or more Under most test conditions, the requirement is to measure the voltage across the device under test. The figure below shows how to make these connections.
BB1000-xx breakout box Measuring currents of 500 mA or less For standby power measurements, the current and power in the voltmeter circuit can be significant when compared to current being measured. For standby measurements the voltage is connected on the supply side of the current shunt. The figure below shows how to make the connections to the breakout box and analyzer for low current measurements.
