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 us e 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 e ssential t o connect the ea rth terminal of the power cord to the Protective Earth terminal before connecting any inputs or outputs.

Connect the Probe Correctly.

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

Observe All Terminal Ratings.

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

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 be exposed to the 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.

II DP800 User’s Guide

RIGOL

Do Not Operate With Suspected Failures.

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

Keep Well Ventilation.

Inadequate ventilation may cause an increase of instrument temperature which would cause damage to the instrument. So please keep the instrument well ventilated and inspect the intake and fan regularly.

Do Not Operate in Wet Conditions.

In order to av oid short circuiting t o the interi or of the device or electric shock, please do not operate the instrument in a humid environment.

Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere.

In order to avoid damage to the device or personal injuries, it is important to o perate the device away fr om an expl osive atmosphere.

Keep Product Surfaces Clean and Dry.

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

Electrostatic Prevention.

Operate the instrument i n an ele ctrostatic discha rge protectiv e envi ronment to avoid damage induced by static discharges. Always ground both the internal and external conductors of cables to release static before making connections.

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 on l y.

Handling Safety.

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

Do Not Provide Power for the Active Load.

In order to avoid the anti-irrigation current which leads to the power control loop out of control and damages the powered device, this power supply can only provide power for the pure load without the current output function.

To Connect to Power

DP800 series power supply supports various AC power supply inputs. The voltage selector setting at the rear panel differs when the input power connected is different, as shown in the table below.

Table 1-2 AC input power specifications (including voltage selector settings)

Please connect the power following the steps below.

1. Check the input power

Make sure that the AC power to be connected to the instrument fulfills the requirements in Table 1-2.

2. Check the voltage selector at the rear panel

Make sure that the v oltage selector set ting (110, 115 or 230) at the rear panel of the instrument matches the actual input voltage (for the matching relations refe r to Table 1-2).

3. Check the fuse

When the instrument leav es f actory, the specified fuse is installed. Please che ck whether the fuse matches the actual input voltage according to the "Input Power R e quirements" at the rear panel of the instrument or Table 1-3.

4. Connect the AC power

Connect the instrument to AC power supply using the power cord provided in the accessories.

To avoid electric shock, make sure that the instrument is correctly
