Safety Requirement
General Safety Summary
Please review the following safety precautions carefully before putting the instrument
into operation so as to avoid any personal injur y or damage to the ins trument and any
product connected to it. To prevent potential hazards, please follow the instructions
specified in this manual to use the instrument properly.
Use Proper Power Cord.
Only the exclusive 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, connect the earth terminal of the power cord to the Protective Earth
terminal before connecting any input or output terminals.
Connect the Probe Correctly.
If a probe is used, do not connect the ground lead to high voltag e since it has isobaric
electric potential as the ground.
Observe All Terminal Ratings.
To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all ratings and ma r kers on the instrument and
check your manual for more information about ratings before connecting the instrument.
Use Proper Overvoltage Protection.
Ensure that no overvolta ge (such as that caused by a bolt of lightning) can reach the
product. Otherwise, the operator might be exposed to the danger of an electric shock.
Do Not Operate Without Covers.
Do not operate the instrument with covers or panels removed.
Do Not Insert Anything Into the Air Outlet.
Do not insert anything into the air outlet to avoid damage to the instrument.
Use Proper Fuse.
Please use the specif ied fuses.
Avoid Circuit or Wire Exposure.
Do not touch exposed junctions and components when the unit is powered on.
Do Not Operate With Suspected Failures.
If you suspect that any damage may occur to the instrument, have it inspected by
RIGOL au thorized personnel b efore f urther oper ations. Any maintenance, adjustment or
replacement especially to circuits or accessories must be performed by RIGOL
II DG1000Z Quick Guide
RIGOL
authorized person nel.
Provide Adequate Ventilation.
Inadequate ventilation may cause an increase of temperature in the instrument, which
would cause damage to the instrument. So please keep the instrument well ventilated
and inspect the air outlet and the fan re gularly.
Do Not Operate in Wet Conditions.
To avoid short circuit inside the instrument or electric shock, never operate the
instrument in a humid environment.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere.
To avoid personal injuries or damage to the instrument, never operate the instrument in
an explosive atmosphere.
Keep Instrument Surfaces Clean and Dry.
To avoid dust or moisture from affecting the performance of the instrument, keep the
surfaces of the instrument clean and dry.
Prevent Electrostatic Impact.
Operate the instrument in an electrostatic disc ha r g e protective environment to avoid
damage induced by static discharges. Always ground both the internal and external
conductors of cables to release static before making connections.
Use the Battery Properly.
Do not expose the battery (if available) to high temperature or fire.
Keep it out of the reach of children. Improper change of a b attery (lithium battery) may
cause an explosion. Use the RIGOL specified batt e r y o nl y.
Handle with Caution.
Please handle with care during transportation to avoid damage to keys, knobs, interfaces,
and other parts on the panels.
