User Manual

This oscilloscope can only be used for measurements within its specified measurement category.

Do not use this instrument in an electrical environment with a higher category rating than what is

specified in this manual for this instrument.

You must ensure that each accessory you use with this instrument has a category rating equal to

or higher than the instrument's category rating to maintain the instrument's category rating.

Failure to do so will lower the category rating of the measuring system.

Electrical Power

This instrument is intended to be powered from a CATEGORY II mains power environment. The

mains power should be 120 V RMS or 240 V RMS. Use only the power cord supplied with the

instrument and ensure it is appropriate for your country of use.

Ground the Instrument

To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cabinet must be connected to an electrical

safety ground. This instrument is grounded through the ground conductor of the supplied three-

conductor AC line power cable. The power cable must be plugged into an approved three-

conductor electrical outlet. The power jack and mating plug of the power cable meet IEC safety

standards.

Do not alter or defeat the ground connection. Without the safety ground connection, all accessible

conductive parts (including control knobs) may provide an electric shock. Failure to use a properly-

grounded approved outlet and the recommended three-conductor AC line power cable may result

in injury or death.

Unless otherwise stated, a ground connection on the instrument's front or rear panel is for a

reference of potential only and is not to be used as a safety ground.

Do not operate in an explosive or flammable atmosphere.

Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or vapors, fumes, or finely-

divided particulates.
