Installation (Overvoltage) Category rating per EN 61010-1 safety standard and is
CA T I
Operating Environment
The instrument is intended for indoor use and
should be operated in a clean, dry environment
with an ambient temperature within the range of
5 °C to 40 °C.
Note: Direct sunlight, radiators, and other heat sources should
be taken into account when assessing the ambient

conform to EN 61010-1 safety standard per the
following limits:
Installation (Overvoltage) Categories II (Mains
Supply Connector) & I (Measuring Terminals)
Pollution Degree 2
Protection Class I
Note:
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. Occasionally
a temporary conductivity caused by condensation must be
expected.
Protection Class 1 refers to a 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.
applicable for the oscilloscope front panel measuring terminals. CAT I rated
terminals must only be connected to source circuits in which measures are taken to
limit transient voltages to an appropriately low level.
WARNING
The DSO must not be operated in explosive,
dusty, or wet/damp atmospheres.
CAUTION
Protect the DSO’s display touch screen from
excessive impacts with foreign objects.
CAUTION
Do not exceed the maximum specified front
panel terminal (CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4, EXT)
voltage levels. Refer to Specifications for
more details.
CAUTION
Do not connect or disconnect probes or test
leads while they are connected to a voltage
source.
WR6A-GS-E Rev B ISSUED: July 2005 11
WAVER UNNER 6000A S ERIES
Cooling Requirements
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, front, and rear of
the DSO. To ensure adequate ventilation it is
required to leave a 10 cm (4 inch) minimum gap
Do not block the ventilation holes located on both
sides and rear of the DSO.
around the sides, front, and rear of the instrument.
Do not allow any foreign matter to enter the DSO
through the ventilation holes, etc.
AC Power Source
The instrument operates from a single-phase, 100240 V
(+/-5%), or single-phase 100-120 V
(+/-10%) AC power source at 50/60 Hz
rms
(+/-10%) AC
rms
power source at 400 Hz (+/-5%).
No manual voltage selection is required because
the instrument automatically adapts to line voltage.
Note:
The instrument automatically adapts itself to the AC line input
within the following ranges:
Voltage Range: 90 to 264 Vrms 90 to 132 Vrms
Frequency Range: 47 to 63 Hz 380 to 420 Hz
CAUTION
CAUTION
Depending on the accessories installed (internal
printer, front panel probes, PC port plug-ins, etc.),
the instrument can draw up to 400 W (400 VA). For
WaveRunner models 6030A and 6051A only:
350 W (350 VA).
Power and Ground Connections
The instrument is provided with a grounded cord
set containing a molded three-terminal polarized
plug and a standard IEC320 (Type C13) connector
for making line voltage and safety ground
connection. 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. Use only the power cord specified for this
instrument and certified for the country of use.
Electrical Shock Hazard!
Any interruption of the protective conductor inside
or outside of the DSO, or disconnection of the
safety ground terminal creates a hazardous
situation.
Intentional interruption is prohibited.
12 ISSUED: July 2005 WR6A-GS-E Rev B
WARNING
G ETTING S TARTED M ANUAL
The DSO should be positioned to allow easy
access to the socket-outlet. To completely remove
power to the DSO, unplug the instrument’s power
cord from the AC outlet after the DSO is placed in
Standby state.
In Standby state the DSO 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.
It is recommended that the power cord be
unplugged from the AC outlet if the DSO is not
being used for an extended period of time.
See On/Standby Switch for more information.
The outer shells of the front panel terminals (CH1,
CH2, CH3, CH4, EXT) are connected to the
instrument’s chassis and therefore to the safety
ground.
On/Standby Switch
The front panel On/Standby switch controls the operational state of the DSO. This toggle switch is
activated by momentarily pressing and releasing it.
There are two basic DSO states: On or Standby. In the "On" state, the DSO, including its
computer subsystems (CPU, hard drive, etc,) is fully powered and operational. In the "Standby"
state, the DSO, including computer subsystems, is powered off with the exception of some
"housekeeping" circuitry (approximately 12 watts dissipation).
CAUTION
Always use the On/Standby switch to place the DSO in Standby state so that it executes a proper
shutdown process (including a Windows shutdown) to preserve settings before powering itself off.
This can be accomplished by pressing and holding in the On/Standby switch for approximately 5
seconds.
Note: To power off, place the DSO in Standby state, then disconnect the power cord.
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. To avoid electrical
shock, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet
before cleaning.
WR6A-GS-E Rev B ISSUED: July 2005 13
Electrical Shock Hazard!
No operator serviceable parts inside. Do not
remove covers.
Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
WARNING
WAVER UNNER 6000A S ERIES
Abnormal Conditions
Operate the instrument only as intended by the
manufacturer.
If you suspect the DSO’s protection has been
impaired, disconnect the power cord and secure
the instrument against any unintended operation.
The DSO’s protection is likely to be impaired if, for
example, the instrument shows visible damage or
has been subjected to severe transport stresses.
Proper use of the instrument depends on careful
reading of all instructions and labels.
VIRUS PROTECTION
Because your scope runs on a Windows-based PC platform, it must be protected from viruses, as
with any PC on a corporate network. It is crucial that the scope be kept up to date with Windows
Critical Updates, and that anti-virus software be installed and continually updated.
Visit www.lecroy.com/dsosecurity for more information regarding Windows Service Pack
compatibility with LeCroy operating software, and related matters.
Any use of the DSO in a manner not specified by
the manufacturer may impair the instrument’s
safety protection. The instrument and related
accessories should not be directly connected to
human subjects or used for patient monitoring.

Product or Documentation.
3.3 Confidentiality.
disclose any Confidential Information (as defined below) of the other party without the written
consent of the disclosing party. A party receiving Confidential Information from the other shall use
the highest commercially reasonable degree of care to protect the Confidential Information,
including ensuring that its employees and consultants with access to such Confidential
Information have agreed in writing not to disclose the Confidential Information. You shall bear the
responsibility for any breaches of confidentiality by your employees and consultants. Within ten
(10) days after request of the disclosing party, and in the disclosing party's sole discretion, the
receiving party shall either return to the disclosing party originals and copies of any Confidential
Information and all information, records and materials developed therefrom by the receiving party,
or destroy the same, other than such Confidential Information as to which this EULA expressly
provides a continuing right to the receiving party to retain at the time of the request. Either party
may only disclose the general nature, but not the specific financial terms, of this EULA without the
prior consent of the other party; provided either party may provide a copy of this EULA to any
finance provider in conjunction with a financing transaction, if such provider agrees to keep this
EULA confidential. Nothing herein shall prevent a receiving party from disclosing all or part of the
Confidential Information as necessary pursuant to the lawful requirement of a governmental
agency or when disclosure is required by operation of law; provided that prior to any such
disclosure, the receiving party shall use reasonable efforts to (a) promptly notify the disclosing
party in writing of such requirement to disclose, and (b) cooperate fully with the disclosing party in
protecting against any such disclosure or obtaining a protective order. Money damages will not be
an adequate remedy if this Section 4.3 is breached and, therefore, either party shall, in addition to
any other legal or equitable remedies, be entitled to seek an injunction or similar equitable relief
against such breach or threatened breach without the necessity of posting any bond. As used
herein, “Confidential Information” means LeCroy pricing or information concerning new LeCroy
products, trade secrets (including without limitation all internal header information contained in or
created by the Software Product, all benchmark and performance test results and all
Documentation) and other proprietary information of LeCroy; and any business, marketing or
technical information disclosed by LeCroy, or its representatives, or you in relation to this EULA,
and either (i) disclosed in writing and marked as confidential at the time of disclosure or (ii)
disclosed in any other manner such that a reasonable person would understand the nature and
confidentiality of the information. Confidential Information does not include information (A) already
in the possession of the receiving party without an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing
party, (B) hereafter rightfully furnished to the receiving party by a third party without a breach of
any separate nondisclosure obligation to the disclosing party, (C) publicly known without breach
of this EULA, (d) furnished by the disclosing party to a third party without restriction on
subsequent disclosure, or (e) independently developed by the receiving party without reference to
or reliance on the Confidential Information.

System Recovery
Your WaveRunner 6000A series oscilloscope was designed to operate very reliably for many
years. However, the application software that operates the instrument runs on a Windows
platform. The loading or incomplete removal of additional Windows applications may eventually
cause problems in the stability of the operating system. In severe cases, it may be necessary to
reload the base operating system and oscilloscope application. This can be done by using a
recovery routine to restore a clean copy of the image originally installed on the C: drive. Any user
data and calibration data located within the D: partition will not be affected by the recovery
process.
LeCroy has provided a recovery application, along with a backup image, in an extra partition on
the instrument’s hard drive. The recovery process is easy to perform, using the instructions
provided below.
After the recovery procedure is done, you must activate Windows, either by internet connection to
Microsoft’s Web site or by telephone. For this you will need to supply the Windows Product Key
number, which is affixed to the rear of the scope.
Note: The recovery process will produce a replica of the operating system and oscilloscope application software to the
revision levels that were current at the time the oscilloscope was manufactured. Any further revisions of the application
software, Windows operating system, and virus scan definition files will not be upgraded automatically. After completion of
the disk image recovery, it is highly recommended that you search the vendors’ Web sites to upgrade the individual
components to their current revision level. The current oscilloscope application software can be downloaded directly from
the LeCroy Web site at www.lecroy.com.
Since the calibration data for the oscilloscope is stored in the D: drive, the current calibration constants will not be
overwritten during the recovery process.
Recovery Procedure
1. Connect an network cable to the LAN port at the rear of the scope if you intend to
activate windows through the internet.
2. Connect a keyboard and a mouse to the scope.
3. Apply power to the scope.
4. As soon as the LeCroy logo appears on the screen, press and hold down the F4 key until
the recovery software logo appears momentarily:
