Safety Summary
1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
 WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply
with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect
power cables, plugs, sockets and any other connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the
risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices. A Residual Current
Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that
a Residual Current Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable
products that are plugged into a supply which is not protected by an RCCB. If in any doubt consult a
qualified electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current Device by contacting your Sealey dealer.
You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
1.1. The Electricity at Work Act 1989 requires all portable electrical appliances, if used on business
premises, to be tested by a qualified electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once
a year.
1.2. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe
condition of those appliances and the safety of the appliance operators. If in any doubt about
electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
1.3. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power
supply. See 1.1.1. and 1.1.2. and use a Portable Appliance Tester.
1.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
1.5. Regularly inspect transformer plug for wear or damage.
1.6. Important: Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply to be used.
1.7. DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
1.8. Use Proper Power Cord. Use only the power cord specified for this product and certified for the
country of use.
1.9. DO NOT connect or disconnect probes or test leads whilst they are connected to a voltage source.
1.10. To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all ratings and markings on the product. Consult the product
manual for rating information before making connections to the product. To avoid shock hazard,
use a correctly rated probe for your measurement.
1.11. Protect the oscilloscope from electro-magnetic fields, static electricity and high temperatures.
1.12. To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all ratings and markings on the product. Consult the product
manual for rating information before making connections to the product.
1.13. DO NOT touch exposed connections and components when power is on.
1.14. Connect the probe output to the measurement device before connecting the probe to the circuit
under test. Disconnect the probe input and the probe reference lead from the circuit under test
before disconnecting the probe from the measurement device.
2. GENERAL SAFETY
Familiarise yourself with the applications, limitations, and potential hazards of the oscilloscope.
Keep the oscilloscope clean and in good condition.
 Use adequate ventilation. Refer to the installation instructions for proper ventilation of the device.
Remain vigilant when using the oscilloscope on, or near, machinery where there are rotational
parts such as belts, pulleys and fans.
Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings, and other loose jewellery, and contain and/
or tie back long hair.
Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
Keep Product Surfaces Clean and Dry.
 DO NOT use the oscilloscope if damage is suspected. If suspected damage occurs with the
device, have it inspected by qualified service personnel before further operations.
DO NOT get the oscilloscope wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where there is condensation.
DO NOT use the oscilloscope for any purpose other than for which it is designed.
DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the oscilloscope.
DO NOT operate the oscilloscope when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or
intoxicating medication.
DO NOT operate in a potentially explosive environment/atmosphere.
WARNING: The warnings, cautions and instructions discussed in this instruction manual
cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood
that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but
must be applied by the operator.

One of the most competitively priced, PC-based ‘scopes around and suitable
for professional applications. High sample rate, multiple memory function
and 4-channel display make this unit ideal for in-depth analysis of a variety
of automotive sensors and components and can be used with any
compatible lap-top or PC. The ‘scope also features a comprehensive
collection of standard automotive diagnostic procedures turning an otherwise
complex process into a click of a button. The system is loaded with
specimen wave-forms allowing the operator to compare actual results with
those expected. The 4-channel function allows multiple components to be
compared simultaneously. The TA4000 can be connected using a LAN cable
(supplied) to any PC running the appropriate software version. The scope is
supplied with a wide selection of automotive type test leads, connectors and
probes. Supplied in carry case.

1.1 GENERAL SAFETY
Connect the probe output to the TA4000
oscilloscope before connecting the probe to the
circuit under test. Disconnect the probe input and
the probe reference lead from the circuit under test
before disconnecting the probe from the TA4000
oscilloscope.
 To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all ratings
and markings on the product to be tested. Consult
the product manual for rating information before
making connections to the product. To avoid shock
hazard, use a correctly rated probe for your
measurement.
Remain vigilant when using the oscilloscope and
associated cables on, or near, machinery where
there are rotational parts such as belts, pulleys and
fans.
Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the
floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches,
rings, and other loose jewellery, and contain and/ or
tie back long hair.
 DO NOT touch exposed connections and
components when power is on.
 DO NOT connect or disconnect probes or test leads
whilst they are connected to a voltage source.
Read and understand the manual for the TA4000
oscilloscope before using this cable set.
The TA4000.06 Hi Tension Probe Lead Set is a type of
inductive capacitance probe intended for use
exclusively with the TA4000 Oscilloscope. Its purpose
is to help diagnose engine ignition system problems. It
works by displaying a waveform corresponding to
voltage against time for a cylinder cycle.
To avoid the risk of fire or electric shock, ensure that
the test clip is connected to the ignition lead and not
directly to the ignition plug itself.
To avoid interference the probe cable should be at
least 50mm away from any high voltage wires.

The TA4000.04 Oscilloscope probe is a passive, low
impedance attenuation probe intended for use with the
TA4000 Oscilloscope. The probe has been designed
and calibrated for use on instruments having an
impedance of 1MΩparalleled by 20pF. However, it
may be recalibrated for use on instruments having an
input capacitance of 15 to 40pF. The probe comes
with a 1.5mtr cable and a two position slide switch
(1X, 10X) is incorporated into the probe body.
