1.3 Correctoperation
Please note: This instrument is only destined for use by person-
nel well instructed and familiar with the dangers of electrical
measurements. For safety reasons the oscilloscope may only
be operated from mains outlets with safety ground connector.
It is prohibited to separate the safety ground connection. The
plug must be inserted prior to connecting any signals.
The oscilloscope is destined for operation in industrial, business,
manufacturing, and domestic sites.
1.4 Ambientconditions
Operating ambient temperature: +5 °C to +40 °C. During trans-
port or storage the temperature may be –20 °C to +70°C. Please
note that after exposure to such temperatures or in case of
condensation, proper time must be allowed until the instrument
has reached the permissible temperature, and until the con-
densation has evaporated before it may be turned on! Ordinarily
this will be the case after 2 hours. The oscilloscope is destined
for use in clean and dry environments. Do not operate in dusty
or chemically aggressive atmosphere or if there is danger of
explosion. The any operating position may be used, however,
sufcient ventilation must be ensured. Prolonged operation
requires the horizontal or inclined position.

Do not obstruct the ventilation holes!
Specications are valid after a 30 minute warm-up period at 23
degr. C (tolerance ±2 degr. C). Specications without tolerances
are average values.
1.5 Warrantyandrepair
HAMEG instruments are subjected to a strict quality control.
Prior to leaving the factory, each instrument is burnt in for 10
hours. By intermittent operation during this period almost all
defects are detected. Following the burn in, each instrument is
tested for function and quality, the specications are checked
in all operating modes; the test gear is calibrated to national
standards.
The warranty standards applicable are those of the country
in which the instrument was sold. Reclamations should be
directed to the dealer.
Only valid in EU countries
In order to speed claims, customers in EU countries may also
contact HAMEG directly. Also, after the warranty expired, the
HAMEG service will be at your disposal for any repairs.
Return material authorization (RMA):
Prior to returning an instrument to HAMEG, ask for a RMA
number either by internet (http://www.hameg.com) or fax (+49
(0) 6182 800 501). If you do not have an original shipping carton,
you may obtain one by calling the HAMEG service dept (+49 (0)
6182 800 500) or by sending an email to [e-mail].
1.6 Maintenance
Clean the outer case using a dust brush at regular intervals.
Dirt can be removed from housing, handle, all metal and plastic
parts using a cloth moistened with water and 1 % detergent.
Greasy dirt may be removed with benzene (petroleum ether) or
alcohol. Thereafter wipe the surfaces with a dry cloth. Plastic
parts should be treated with a suitable antistatic solution. No
uid may enter the instrument. Do not use other cleansing
agents as they may adversely affect the plastic or lacquered
surfaces.
1.7 CATI
This oscilloscope is destined for measurements in circuits not
connected to the mains or only indirectly. Direct measurements,
i.e. with a galvanic connection to circuits corresponding to the
categories II, III, or IV are prohibited! The measuring circuits
are considered not connected to the mains if a suitable isolation
transformer fullling safety class II is used. Measurements
on the mains are also possible if suitable probes like current
probes are used which fulll the safety class II. The measure-
ment category of such probes must be checked and observed.
The measurement categories were derived corresponding to
the distance from the power station and the transients hence to
be expected. Transients are short, very fast voltage or current
excursions which may be periodic or not.
Measurement CAT IV: Measurements close to the power station,
e.g. on electricity meters
Measurement CAT III: Measurements in the interior of buildings
(power distribution installations, mains outlets, motors which
are permanently installed).
Measurement CAT II: Measurements in circuits directly con-
nected to the mains (household appliances, power tools etc).
Measurement CAT I: Electronic instruments and circuits which
contain circuit breakers or fuses.
1.8 Mainsvoltage
The instrument has a wide range power supply from 105 to
253 V, 50 or 60 Hz ±10%. There is hence no line voltage selector.
The line fuse is accessible on the rear panel and part of the line
input connector. Prior to exchanging a fuse, the line cord must
be pulled out. Exchange is only allowed if the fuse holder is
undamaged. It can be taken out using a screwdriver put into the
slot. The fuse can be pushed out of its holder and exchanged.
The holder with the new fuse can then be pushed back in place
against the spring. It is prohibited to ”repair“ blown fuses or to
bridge the fuse. Any damages incurred by such measures will
void the warranty.
Type of fuse:
Size 5 x 20 mm; 250V~, C; IEC 127,
Bl. III; DIN 41 662 (or DIN 41 571, Bl.
3). Cut off: slow blow (T) 2A.
