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 connecte d to it. To prevent potential haza rds, 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 groun ded throu gh the Protective Eart h lea d of t h e p ower c ord . 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 fi re or shock hazard, ob s e rve all ratings and markers on the instrument and check your manu a l for more information about ratings bef o re 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 j unctions a nd 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

II DG1000Z User’s Guide

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 indu ced by static dis c h arges. 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 interfa ces and other parts on the panels.

BNC female connector with 50Ω nominal impedance. The function of this connector is determined by the type of the clock source.

1) When internal clock source is selected, this connector (as 10MHz Out) outputs the 10MHz clock signal generated by the internal crystal oscillator inside the generator.

2) When external clock source is selected, this connector (as 10MHz In) accepts an external 10MHz clock signal.

This connector is typically used to synchronize multiple instruments. For more detailed information about the signals mentioned above, please refer to the introduction in “Clock Source”.

Power On and Inspection

To Connect to Power

Please connect the generator to AC power supply using the power cord supplied in the accessories (as shown in the figure below). The AC power supply spe cification of this generator is 100-240V, 45-440Hz. The maximum input power of the instrument cannot exceed 30W. W hen the signal generato r is connected to AC powe r s up p ly via this connector, the instrument adjusts itself to select the correct voltage range automatically and users do not need to select the voltage range manually.

Power-on

After the power s upply is c orrectly connected, press the power key panel to turn on the generator. During the start-up, the instrument executes initialization and self-test. After that, the default interface is displayed. If the instrument does not start normally, please refer to the introduction in “Troubleshooting”.
