WaveSurfer 3000 Oscilloscopes
Do not operate with suspected failures. Do not use the product if any part is damaged. Obviously incorrect
measurement behaviors (such as failure to calibrate) might indicate impairment due to hazardous live
electrical quantities. Cease operation immediately and sequester the instrument from inadvertent use.
Operating Environment
Temperature: 0 to 50° C.
Humidity: Maximum relative humidity 90 % for temperatures up to 31° C, decreasing linearly to 50% relative
humidity at 40° C.
Altitude: Up to 3,000 m at or below 30° C.
Cooling
The instrument relies on forced air cooling with internal fans and vents. Take care to avoid restricting the
airflow to any part. Around the sides and rear, leave a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) between the instrument
and the nearest object. The feet provide adequate bottom clearance.
CAUTION. Do not block cooling vents. Always keep the area beneath the instrument clear of paper
and other items.
The instrument also has internal fan control circuitry that regulates the fan speed based on the ambient
temperature. This is performed automatically after start-up.
Power
The instrument operates from a single-phase, 100 to 240 Vrms (± 10%) AC power source at 50/60 Hz (± 5%),
or a 100 to 120 Vrms (± 10%) AC power source at 400 Hz (± 5%). The instrument automatically adapts to the
line voltage. Manual voltage selection is not required.
The AC inlet ground is connected directly to the frame of the instrument. For adequate protection again
electric shock, connect to a mating outlet with a safety ground contact.
WARNING. Interrupting the protective conductor inside or outside the oscilloscope, or
disconnecting the safety ground terminal, creates a hazardous situation. Intentional interruption is
prohibited.
Maximum power consumption with all accessories installed (e.g., active probes, USB peripherals, digital
leadsets) is 150 W (150 VA) for fourchannel models and 100 W (100 VA) for two-channel models. Power
consumption in standby mode is 4 W.
AC Power
The instrument operates from a single-phase, 100 to 240 Vrms (± 10%) AC power source at 50/60 Hz (± 5%),
or a 100 to 120 Vrms (± 10%) AC power source at 400 Hz (± 5%) . Manual voltage selection is not required
because the instrument automatically adapts to the line voltage.
