The instrument should be serviced by qualified personnel only. Avoid Fire or Personal Injury. Use Proper Power Cord. Use the power cord designed for the instrument and

authorized in your country only. Connect and Disconnect Accessories. Do not connect or disconnect probes or

test leads while they are connected to a voltage source. Ground The Instrument. The oscilloscope is grounded through the grounding

conductor of the power cord. To avoid electric shock the instrument grounding conductor(s) must be grounded properly . Bef ore making connections t o the in put or output terminals of the instrument.

Connect The Probe. The probes’ grou nd terminals are at the same v oltage lev el of the instrument ground. Do not connect the ground terminals to a high voltage.

Observe All Terminal Ratings. To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all ratings and marks on the instru ment . F ollow the user’ s guide for further r atin gs inf ormatio n before making connections to the instrument.

Do Not Operate Without C ove rs. Do n o t op e ra te the instrument with covers or panels removed.

Use Proper Fuse. Use the f use of the type, voltage and current ratings as specified for the instrument.

Avoid Circuit or Wire Exposure. Do not touch exposed connections and components when power is on.

Do not operate in wet/damp conditions Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere Keep product surfaces clean and dry The disturbance test of all the models meet the limit values of A in the

standard of EN 61326: 1997+A1+A2+A3, but can’t meet the limit values of B.

Measurement Category

The DS1000E, DS1000D series Digital Oscilloscope is intended to be used for measurements in Measurement Category I.

Measurement Category Definitions

Measurement Category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to MAINS. Examples are measurements on circuits not derived from MAINS, and specially protected (inte rnal ) MAI NS de riv ed circuits. In the latter case, transient stresses are variable; for that reason, the transient withstand capabil ity of the equipment is made known to the user.

WARNING

IEC Measurement Category I, The input terminals may be connected to circuit terminal in IEC Category I installations for voltages up to 300 VAC. To avoid the danger of electric shock, do not connect the inputs to circuit’s voltages above 300 VAC. Transient overvoltage is also present on circuits that are isolated from mains. The DS1000E, DS1000D series Digital Oscilloscopes is designed to safely withstand occasional transient overvoltage up to 1000Vpk. Do not use this equipment to measure circuits where transient overvoltage could exceed this level.

To Compensate Probes

Perform this adjustment to match the characteristics of the probe and the channel input. This should be performed whenever attaching a probe to any input channel for the f i r st time.

1. From CH1 menu, set the Probe attenuation to 10X (press CH1→Probe→10X). Set the switch to 10X on the probe and connect it to CH1 of the oscilloscope. When using the probe hook-tip, inserting the tip onto the probe firmly to ensure a proper connection. Attach the probe tip to the Probe compensa tor connector and the reference lead to the ground pin, Select CH1, and t hen press AUTO.

Digital Leads (Only for DS1000D Series)

Digital leads are provided only for DS10 0 0D series which have Logic Analyzer.

1. Switch off power supply of the device under test if necessary to avoid short circuit. Since no voltage is applied to the leads at this step, you may keep the oscilloscope on.

2. Connect one end of the flat cable FC1868 to the Logic Analyzer Input; connect the other end to Logic Head LH1116. An identifier is located on each end of the flat cable; it can only be connected in one way. It is unnecessary to switch off power supply of your oscilloscope when connecting the cable.
