Pollution Degree
Definitions
Pollution Degree 1: No pollution or only dry, non-conductive pollution occurs. The
pollution has no influence. Example: A clean room or climate-controlled office
environment.
Pollution Degree 2. Normally only dry non-conductive pollution occurs.
Occasionally a temporary conductivity caused by condensation may occur.
Example: General indoor environment.

Table 2 Power requirements
Power 100-120 V, 50/60/400 Hz
100-240 V, 50/60 Hz
380 W Max
Connect the power cord to the side of the oscilloscope, then to a suitable AC
voltage source. Route the power cord so the oscilloscope’s feet do not pinch the
cord.
The power cord is the disconnecting device for Mains. Position the equipment so
the power cord is easily reached by the operator.
Use only the power cord that came with the oscilloscope.
The power cord provided is matched to the country of origin of the order.
To avoid electric shock, be sure the oscilloscope is properly grounded.

Do not exceed the maximum input voltage rating.
The maximum input voltage for the 50 Ω input impedance setting is ±5 V.
The maximum input voltage for the 1 MΩ input impedance setting is 30 Vrms or
±40 Vmax (DC+Vpeak)
Probing technology allows for testing of higher voltages; the included N2873A 10:1
probe supports 300 Vrms or ±400 Vmax (DC+Vpeak). No transient overvoltage
allowed.
When measuring voltages over 30 V, use a 10:1 probe.
