Operation
Environment
Fuse type: T0.63A/250V.
Only qualified technicians should replace the
fuse.
To ensure fire protection, replace the fuse only
with the specified type and rating.
Disconnect the power cord and all test leads
before replacing the fuse.
Make sure the cause of fuse blowout is fixed
before replacing the fuse.
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the
function generator.
Use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild
detergent and water. Do not spray any liquid
into the function generator.
Do not use chemicals containing harsh products
such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and acetone.
Location: Indoor, no direct sunlight, dust free,
almost non-conductive pollution (Note below)
and avoid strong magnetic fields.
Relative Humidity: < 80%
Altitude: < 2000m
Temperature: 0°C to 40°C
(Pollution Degree) EN 61010-1:2001 specifies pollution degrees and
their requirements as follows. The function generator falls under
degree 2.
Pollution refers to “addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid, or
gaseous (ionized gases), that may produce a reduction of dielectric
strength or surface resistivity”.
Pollution degree 1: No pollution or only dry, non-conductive
pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence.
Pollution degree 2: Normally only non-conductive pollution
occurs. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused
by condensation must be expected.
Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, non-
conductive pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to
condensation which is expected. In such conditions, equipment
is normally protected against exposure to direct sunlight,

Disposal
Do not dispose this instrument as unsorted
municipal waste. Please use a separate collection
facility or contact the supplier from which this
instrument was purchased. Please make sure
discarded electrical waste is properly recycled to
reduce environmental impact.
Power cord for the United Kingdom
When using the function generator in the United Kingdom, make sure the
power cord meets the following safety instructions.
NOTE: This lead/appliance must only be wired by competent persons
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
IMPORTANT: The wires in this lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green/ Yellow: Earth
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live (Phase)
As the colours of the wires in main leads may not correspond with the coloured
marking identified in your plug/appliance, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured Green & Yellow must be connected to the Earth terminal
marked with either the letter E, the earth symbol
Yellow.
The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter N or coloured Blue or Black.
The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal marked with
the letter L or P or coloured Brown or Red.
If in doubt, consult the instructions provided with the equipment or contact the
supplier.
This cable/appliance should be protected by a suitably rated and approved HBC
mains fuse: refer to the rating information on the equipment and/or user instructions
for details. As a guide, a cable of 0.75mm
Larger conductors would normally require 13A types, depending on the connection
method used.
Any exposed wiring from a cable, plug or connection that is engaged in a live socket
is extremely hazardous. If a cable or plug is deemed hazardous, turn off the mains
power and remove the cable, any fuses and fuse assemblies. All hazardous wiring
must be immediately destroyed and replaced in accordance to the above standard.

(1). A total of ten waveforms can be stored. (Every waveform can be composed of
1M points maximum.)
(2). Add 1/10th of output amplitude and offset specification per C for operation
outside of 0 C to 28 C range (1-year specification).
(3). Edge time decreased at higher frequency.
(4). Sine and square waveforms above 25 MHz are allowed only with an “Infinite”
burst count.
(5). Harmonic distortion and Spurious noise at low amplitudes is limited by a -70
dBm floor.
