Safety Requirement

General Safety Summary

Please review the following safety precautions carefully before putting the instrument into operation so as to avoid any personal injury or damage to the instrument and any product connected to it. To prevent potential hazards, please use the instrument only specified by this manual.

Use Proper Power Cord.

Only the power cord designed for the instrument and authorized for use within the local country could be used.

Ground The Instrument.

The instrument is grounded through the Protective Earth lead of the power cord. To avoid electric shock, it is essential to connect the earth terminal of power cord to the Protective Earth terminal before any inputs or outputs.

Connect the Probe Correctly.

If a probe is used, do not connect the ground lead to high voltage since it has the isobaric electric potential as ground.

Observe All Terminal Ratings.

To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all ratings and markers on the instrument and check your manual for more information about ratings before connecting.

Use Proper Overvoltage Protection.

Make sure that no overvoltage (such as that caused by a thunderstorm) can reach the product, or else the operator might expose to danger of electrical shock.

Do Not Operate Without Covers.

Do not operate the instrument with

covers or panels removed.

Do Not Insert Anything into the Holes of Fan.

Do not insert anything into the holes of the fan to avoid damaging the instrument.

Use Proper Fuse.

Please use the specified fuses.

Avoid Circuit or Wire Exposure.

Do not touch exposed junctions and components when the unit is powered.

Do Not Operate With Suspected Failures.

If you suspect damage occurs to the instrument, have it inspected by qualified service personnel before further operations. Any maintenance, adjustment or replacement especially to circuits or accessories must be performed by RIGOL authorized personnel.

Keep Well Ventilation.

Inadequate ventilation may cause increasing of temperature or damages to the device. So please keep well ventilated and inspect the intake and fan regularly.

Do Not Operate in Wet Conditions.

In order to avoid short circuiting to the

interior of the device or electric shock, please do not operate in a humid environment.

Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere.

In order to avoid damages to the device or personal injuries, it is important to operate the device away from an explosive atmosphere.

Keep Product Surfaces Clean and Dry.

To avoid the influence of dust and/or moisture in air, please keep the surface of device clean and dry.

Electrostatic Prevention.

Operate in an electrostatic discharge protective area environment to avoid

damages induced by static discharges. Always ground both the internal and external conductors of the cable to release static before connecting.

Proper Use of Battery.

If a battery is supplied, it must not be exposed to high temperature or in contact with fire. Keep it out of the reach of children. Improper change of battery (note: lithium battery) may cause explosion. Use RIGOL specified battery only.

Handling Safety.

Please handle with care during transportation to avoid damages to buttons, knob interfaces and other parts on the panels.

1.[CH1/Sync/Ext Mod/Trig/FSK]

BNC female connector with 50Ω nominal impedance.

Its function is determined by the current work mode of CH1.

1) Sync

When the output of CH1 is enabled, this connector outputs the corresponding sync signal. For detailed information about the characteristics of the sync signals corresponding to various output signals, refer to the introduction in “Sync Set”.

2)Ext Mod

When AM, FM, PM or PWM of CH1 is enabled and external modulation source is selected, this connector accepts an external modulation signal and the input impedance is 1000Ω. For the detailed introduction, refer to “Modulation”.

3)FSK

When ASK, FSK or PSK of CH1 is enabled and external modulation source is selected, this connector accepts an external modulation signal whose polarity can be set by users and the input impedance is 1000Ω. For the detailed introduction, refer to “Modulation”.

4)Trig In

When Sweep or Burst of CH1 is enabled and external trigger source is selected, this connector accepts an external trigger signal whose polarity can be set by users.

5)Trig Out

When Sweep or Burst of CH1 is enabled and internal or manual trigger source is selected, this connector outputs a trigger signal with specified edge type.

2.[CH2/Sync/Ext Mod/Trig/FSK]

BNC female connector with 50Ω nominal impedance.

Its function is determined by the current work mode of CH2.

1) Sync

When the output of CH2 is enabled, this connector outputs the corresponding sync signal. For detailed information about the characteristics of the sync signals corresponding to various output signals, refer to the introduction in “Sync Set”.

2)Ext Mod

When AM, FM, PM or PWM of CH2 is enabled and external modulation source is selected, this connector accepts an external modulation signal and the input impedance is 1000Ω. For the detailed introduction, refer to “Modulation”.

3)FSK

When ASK, FSK or PSK of CH2 is enabled and external modulation source is selected, this connector accepts an external modulation signal whose polarity can be set by users and the input impedance is 1000Ω. For the detailed introduction, refer to “Modulation”.

4)Trig In

When Sweep or Burst of CH2 is enabled and external trigger source is selected, this connector accepts an external trigger signal whose polarity can be set by users.

5)Trig Out

When Sweep or Burst of CH2 is enabled and internal or manual trigger source is selected, this connector outputs a trigger signal with specified edge type.
