USER MANUAL

Safety Summary

The following safety precautions apply to both operating and maintenance personnel and must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this instrument. Before applying power, follow the installation instructions and become familiar with the operating instructions for this instrument.

If this device is damaged or something is missing, contact the place of purchase immediately.

This manual contains information and warnings that must be followed to ensure safe operation as well as maintain the meter in a safe condition.

DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE

Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Operation of any electrical instrument in such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.

KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS

Instrument covers must not be removed by operating personnel. Component replacement and internal adjustments must be made by qualified maintenance personnel. Disconnect the power cord before removing the instrument covers and replacing components. Under certain conditions, even with the power cable removed, dangerous voltages may exist. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power and discharge circuits before touching them.

DO NOT SUBSTITUTE PARTS OR MODIFY THE INSTRUMENT

Do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modifications to this instrument. Return the instrument to B&K Precision for service and repair to ensure that safety features are maintained.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

WARNING and CAUTION statements, such as the following examples,

denote a hazard and appear throughout this manual. Follow all instructions contained in these statements.

A WARNING statement calls attention to an operating procedure, practice, or condition, which, if not followed correctly, could result in injury or death to personnel.

A CAUTION statement calls attention to an operating procedure, practice,

NOTE:

Voltage ratings are given as “working voltage”. They

should be read as Vac-rms (50 – 60 Hz) for AC sine wave applications and as Vdc for DC applications.

or condition, which, if not followed correctly, could result in damage to or destruction of part or all of the product.

WARNING

 Do not connect the scope probes and DMM leads simultaneously.  Before using the DMM functions, disconnect all scope probes. Likewise,

disconnect all DMM test leads before using any scope functions.

 When not in use, remove all scope probes, DMM test leads, and the USB

cable.

WARNING

To avoid potential fire or shock hazard:

 Disconnect all probes, leads, power adapter, and USB cable before

opening the battery cover.

 Do not turn on the instrument while the battery cover is removed.  Use only the included insulated probes, test leads, and power adapter

supplied with the instrument.

 Use only the battery pack supplied with the instrument or approved by

us. Do not use other substitutes.

 For AC power operation, always connect the adapter to the outlet first

before connecting to the instrument.

 Observe all markings and ratings on the instrument before connecting

to the instrument.

 While making measurements, verify that the performance ratings of

instruments and accessories that are used meet the correct safety levels of the instrument.

 Do not insert metal objects into any of the connectors.

WARNING

 Do not use any exposed metal BNC or banana plug connectors with the

instrument. Use only the insulated accessories supplied with the instrument.

 Do not connect the USB cable while the instrument is not in use. Keep

the cable away from all probes and test leads.

 Always connect the probes or test leads to the instrument first before

connecting to any other device under test (DUT). To remove, disconnect them from the DUT first before disconnecting from the instrument.

 Do not operate the instrument in wet environments.  For high voltage testing, keep the BNC connectors and the entire

instrument dry.

 Do not apply input voltages above the instrument and the probe’s

voltage rating.

CAUTION

 Always cover the DC power input and USB ports on the side of the

instrument with the rubber lid when not in used.

 Do not use any abrasive chemicals or volatile liquid when cleaning the

instrument. If using a cloth dampened with water, allow the instrument to completely dry before reconnecting it.

1 General Information

1.1 Product Overview

The B&K Precision 2510 series handheld digital storage oscilloscope combines the functions of a digital storage oscilloscope, digital multimeter,

and a recorder into one portable form factor. The oscilloscope’s bandwidth

is up to 100 MHz with a real time sampling rate of up to 1 GSa/s. With up to 2M points of deep memory, it allows for capturing more details of a signal for analysis. Additionally, the multimeter provides most of the standard measurement functions, which include AC and DC voltage, AC and DC current, resistance, capacitance, diode, and continuity. The recorder function allows users to quickly capture data without the need to connect to a computer.

Features:

 5.7” color TFT LCD Display  Oscilloscope, multimeter, and recorder functionality (trend plot and

waveform recorder)

 Fully isolated oscilloscope channels (models 2515 and 2516 only)

and isolated multimeter inputs

 6000-count multimeter  Multimeter supports voltage, current, resistance, capacitance,

diode, and continuity measurements

 Supports scope and multimeter measurement parameters trend plot

and scope waveform recorder

 32 auto measurement functions  Store/recall 2 groups of reference waveforms, 20 groups of common

waveforms, 10 groups of instrument settings

 USB interface for remote communication

1.8 Protection Fuse

There are two input protection fuses for the current measurement inputs, labeled mA and 10 A.

The 10 A input is protected with an internal 10 A, 250 V slow blow glass tube type fuse.

The mA input is protected with an internal 600 mA PPTC (resettable) type fuse, rated 250 V.

1.9 Isolation (Model 2515/2516)

Models 2515 and 2516 have fully isolated channel inputs, which allow for making floating measurements safely and accurately in various applications that may not have reference to earth ground.

WARNING:

Only use the supplied oscilloscope probes or probes recommended by B&K Precision. Using probes not recommended and/or supplied by B&K Precision may cause a safety hazard, and may also damage the instrument and void its warranty.

1.10 Probes

Models 2515 and 2516 come with two touch-protected passive 10X test probes (PR250SA) with the following specifications:

Voltage Rating: 1000 V CATII, 600V CATIII Attenuation: 10X Bandwidth: 250 MHz Meets IEC 61010-031:2008

Models 2511 and 2512 come with two passive 1X/10X probes (PR150SA) with the following specifications:

2 Getting Started

2.1 Input Power Requirements

The handheld oscilloscope can be powered by an AC adapter or by battery.

External Power Operation

To use the external AC adapter to power the instrument:

1. Connect the adapter to the external power input on the side of the

instrument first.

2. Then, connect the supplied power cord to the adapter.

3. Connect AC adapter to an electrical outlet.

Figure 8 - Connecting Power Adapter

Adapter specifications:

Input: AC 100-240V, 50/60Hz, 1.2 A Output: DC 9V, 4 A Center pin positive, 5.5mm tip

WARNING:

Only use the supplied external AC adapter. Using a different or incorrect type adapter will result in damage to the instrument and void its warranty.

Battery

Battery Operation

The instrument can be powered by an external Li-ion battery pack, rated for 5000 mAh, 7.4 V. The battery must be installed and charged before first time use for battery operation.

Installing the Battery

1. Use a screw driver to remove the two screws securing the battery

cover in the rear panel.

2. Connect the 2-pin connector of the battery to the 2-pin input

connector on the lower left corner of the battery compartment.

3. Place the battery pack inside the compartment and place the battery

cover. Fasten the two screws to tighten.

Figure 9 - Installing Battery

Charging the Battery

For first time use, fully charge the battery for at least 4 hours with the instrument turned OFF.

Before charging the battery, follow the instructions above to install the battery. Then, connect the AC adapter to the instrument. While the instrument is ON, the battery indicator will show the battery status for charging and when it’s fully charged (see “1.7 Display Overview”). The battery also charges when the instrument is OFF.

2.2 Tilt Stand

The instrument has a tilt stand on the back that can be folded out for benchtop use. Simply pull it out from the back so that the weight of the instrument rests on the stand.

2.3 Power On Device

Power ON the device by pressing once.
