Connecting Leads

4-Channel Oscilloscope

NAVIGATING THE MTS 5200 (CONTINUED)

Before using the oscilloscope, connect your leads to the color-coded ports positioned above the

touch screen display on the face of the MTS 5200. The oscilloscope leads are shielded to

eliminate noise and interference from the vehicle. Be sure to connect the shielded ground leads

for all oscilloscope channels that you are using.

Once the MTS 5200 is turned on and the oscilloscope selected, you can view a connecting lead

diagram for an example configuration by touching the Lead Help button. Lead Help displays an

example of a single channel configuration or a multiple channel configuration, depending on how

many channels you have turned on.

WARNING!

The MTS 5200 is not intended for testing 110V, AC electrical circuits. Do not plug the leads into

an electrical wall socket. Damage to the tester or personal injury may occur.

CAUTION!

Route the leads so that they do not get caught in the fan. Be sure to use correct wire probing

procedures to prevent damage to the connectors or wires in the circuit under test.

Inspect shielded ground leads, and replace any that are damaged or have exposed wires. They

are dangerous and can result in poor readings.
