WaveSurfer 3000/3000z Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual
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. In a benchtop configuration, leave a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) around the sides
between the instrument and the nearest object. The feet provide adequate bottom clearance. Follow
rackmount instructions for proper rack spacing.
Caution: Do not block the cooling vents.
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.
Cleaning
Clean only the exterior of the instrument using a soft cloth moistened with water or an isopropyl alcohol
solution. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive elements. Under no circumstances submerge the
instrument or allow moisture to penetrate it. Dry the instrument thoroughly before connecting a live
voltage source.
Caution: Unplug the power cord before cleaning. Do not attempt to clean internal parts.
