Operating information
The TPP0502 2X Passive Probe is a high impedance probe with 2X attenuation that is designed for use with Tektronix FlexChannel™ and MDO3000, MDO/MSO/DPO4000B, MSO/DPO5000 series ground-referenced oscilloscopes.

Compensating the probe
You should compensate the probe after you attach it to an oscilloscope for the first time, or after you have changed the probe tip cartridge.
- Connect the probe to an oscilloscope channel.
- Connect the probe tip and ground to the probe compensation terminals on the oscilloscope.
When using the MMCX tip (206-0666-xx), the following part numbers are required to connect the tip to the Probe Comp connections: 131-9717-xx (1), 196-3434-xx (1), and 206-0569-xx (2). See Connecting the MMCX tip to the oscilloscope Probe Comp.
- On FlexChannel™ instruments:
- Double tap the Channel Badge for the connected probe.
- Select the Probe Setup.
- Select Compensate Probe.
- Select Compensate Probe in the pop-up window.
- On MSO/DPO5000 instruments:
- Select Vertical > Probe Cal....
- Select the tab of the channel for the connected probe.
- In the Calibration section, click Calibrate Probe.
- On MDO3000 and MDO/MSO/DPO4000B instruments:
- Press the Channel Menu front panel button for the channel that you connected the probe to.
- Push the More button until Probe Setup is selected.
- Push the Calibrate Probe button and follow the on-screen instructions.
If the probe compensation fails, verify that the signal and ground connections are secure at the Probe Comp connections on the oscilloscope. Also check that the ground connection is secure at the probe head, the rigid, MMCX, or pogo tip is secured tightly in the probe head, and the hook tip is securely connected to the tip.

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.
