atmospheres.
Getting Started Manual
WP7Zi-GSM-E RevB
16
CAUTION
Protect the oscilloscope’s display touch screen from excessive impacts
with foreign objects.
CAUTION
Do not exceed the maximum specified front panel terminal (CH1, CH2,
CH3, CH4, AUX IN, and AUX OUT) voltage levels. Refer to Specifications for
more details.
Safety Certification
The design of the instrument has been verified to conform to applicable
EN 61010-1, UL 61010-1 2nd Edition and CSA C22·2 No·61010-1-04 safety
standards for the following limits:
Installation (Overvoltage) Categories II (Mains Supply Connector) & I

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
Installation (Overvoltage) Category II refers to local distribution
level, which is applicable to equipment connected to the mains
supply (AC power source).
Installation (Overvoltage) Category I refers to signal level, which is
applicable to equipment measuring terminals that are connected to
source circuits in which measures are taken to limit transient
voltages to an appropriately low level.
Pollution Degree 2 refers to an operating environment where
normally only dry non-conductive pollution occurs. Conductivity
caused by temporary condensation should be expected.
WavePro 7 Zi and Zi-A Oscilloscopes
17
WP7Zi-GSM-E RevB
Protection Class 1 refers to grounded equipment, in which
protection against electric shock is achieved by Basic Insulation and
by means of a connection to the protective ground conductor in the
building wiring.
Cooling
The instrument relies on forced air cooling with internal fans and
ventilation openings. Care must be taken to avoid restricting the airflow
around the apertures (fan holes) at the sides, rear, and bottom of the
oscilloscope. For sides and rear apertures, ensure adequate ventilation by
leaving the required 10 cm (4 inch) minimum gap around the sides and
rear of the instrument. For bottom apertures, the oscilloscope feet (up or
down) provide adequate clearance as paper or light objects can be drawn
to and obstruct the opening.
CAUTION
Do not block the ventilation holes located on both sides and rear of the
oscilloscope. For bottom apertures, always keep items like sheets of paper
clear of the oscilloscope bottom.
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 with no manual intervention required.
CAUTION
Do not allow any foreign matter to enter the oscilloscope through the
ventilation holes, etc.
AC Power Source
100 to 240 VAC (+/-10%) at 45/66 Hz; 100-120 VAC at 400 Hz (+/-5%);
Automatic AC voltage selection; Installation Category: 300V CAT II
No manual voltage selection is required because the instrument
automatically adapts to line voltage.
Getting Started Manual
WP7Zi-GSM-E RevB
18
Power Consumption
</= 800 watts (800 VA) for all WavePro 7 Zi and Zi-A series models
(depending on accessories installed - probes, PC port plug-ins, etc.).
Power consumption in Standby Mode: 15 Watts.
Power and Ground Connections
The instrument is provided with a 10A/250V 18AWGrated grounded cord
set containing a molded three-terminal polarized plug and a standard
IEC320 (Type C13) connector for making line voltage and safety ground
connections. The AC inlet ground terminal is connected directly to the
frame of the instrument. For adequate protection against electrical shock
hazard, the power cord plug must be inserted into a mating AC outlet
containing a safety ground contact.
WARNING - Electrical Shock Hazard
Only use the power cord provided with your instrument.
Any interruption of the protective conductor inside or outside of the
oscilloscope, or disconnection of the safety ground terminal creates a
hazardous situation. Intentional interruption is prohibited.
In Standby mode, the oscilloscope is still connected to the AC supply. The
instrument can only be placed in a complete Power Off state by physically
disconnecting the power cord from the AC supply.
CAUTION
The outer shells of the front panel terminals (CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4, AUX IN,
AUX OUT) are connected to the instrument’s chassis and therefore to the
safety ground.

WP7Zi-GSM-E RevB
Standby (Power) Switch and Oscilloscope Operational
States
The front Standby (Power) switch controls the operational state of the
oscilloscope. This toggle switch is activated by momentarily pressing and
releasing it. The color of the LED below the switch indicates the status of
the oscilloscope as follows:
On (LED Green)* – oscilloscope is fully powered and operational
Standby (LED off)* – oscilloscope is powered off (except for some
housekeeping circuits)
Standby (LED Blinks Green) – oscilloscope’s computer subsystems
(hard drive, etc.) are in Standby (reduced Power mode). All other
oscilloscope subsystems are fully powered.
* Factory Settings
The oscilloscope’s factory settings result in only two basic oscilloscope
states: On (LED Green) or Standby (LED Off). In this case of Standby (LED
Off), the oscilloscope is powered off with the exception of some
housekeeping circuitry (approximately 12 watts dissipation). The
oscilloscope can only be placed in a complete power off state by flipping
the main power switch at the back of the oscilloscope to the Off (zero)
position, or by unplugging the instrument’s power cord from the primary
power source (AC outlet). It is recommended that the power cord be
unplugged from the AC outlet if the oscilloscope is not being used for an
extended period of time.
Although changes can be made to the oscilloscope's original factory
settings via the Power Options Properties menu in Windows under
Control Panel → Power Options, it is important to note that the Windows
Power Option named Standby provides control of only the oscilloscope’s
computer subsystems (CPU, hard drive, etc.) and does not affect the other
subsystems within the oscilloscope. In general, these other subsystems
remain fully powered. For additional information on setting these Power
Options, see the Windows Help menu or other related technical
documentation. In terms of control buttons, this oscilloscope uses only a
power button/switch and therefore references to a sleep button are not
applicable.
Getting Started Manual
WP7Zi-GSM-E RevB
20
The oscilloscope can always be placed in the Standby state (LED Off) –
Power Off (except for some housekeeping circuits) by pressing and holding
in the Standby toggle switch for approximately 5 seconds.
CAUTION
Hibernate mode is not supported by the Power button. Therefore,
Windows® Power Options must not be changed from the default Never
setting to System Standby or System Hibernate modes.
Calibration
The recommended calibration interval is one year. Calibration should be
performed by qualified personnel only.
Cleaning
Clean only the exterior of the instrument, using a damp, soft cloth. Do not
use chemicals or abrasive elements. Under no circumstances allow
moisture to penetrate the instrument.
Avoid electrical shock hazard by unplugging the power cord from the AC
outlet before cleaning.
WARNING - Electrical Shock Hazard
No operator serviceable parts inside.
Do not remove covers.
Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
Abnormal Conditions
Operate the instrument only as intended by the manufacturer.
If you suspect the oscilloscope’s protection has been impaired, disconnect
the power cord and secure the instrument against any unintended
operation.
The oscilloscope’s protection is likely to be impaired if, for example, the
instrument shows visible damage or has been subjected to severe
transport stresses.
WavePro 7 Zi and Zi-A Oscilloscopes
