Safety Requiremen t
General Safety Summary
Please review the following safety precautions carefully before putting the
instrument into operation so as to avoid any personal injuries or damages to
the instrument and any product co nnected 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 by 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.
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 mo re info rmatio n about r at ings befo 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.
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.

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

Measurement Category
Measurement Category
DS1000Z series digital oscilloscopes can make measurements in
Measurement Category I.
WARNING
This oscilloscope can only be used for measurements within its
specified measurement categories.
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 (internal) MAINS derived circuits.
In the latter case, transient stresses are variable; for that reason, the
transient withstand capability of the equipment is made known to the user.
Measurement category II is for measurements performed on circuits directly
connected to the low voltage installation. Examples are measurements on
household appliances, portable tools and similar equipment.
Measurement category III is for measurements performed in the building
installation. Examples are measurements on distribution boards,
circuit-breakers, wiring, including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches,
socket-outlets in the fixed installation, and equipment for industrial use and
some other equipment, for example. Stationary motors with permanent
connection to the fixed installation.
Measurement category IV is for measurements performed at the source of
the low-voltage installation. Examples are electricity meters and
measurements on primary overcurrent protection devices and ripple control
units.

Ventilation Requirement
This oscilloscope uses fan to force cooling. Please make sure that the air
intake and exhaust areas are free from obstructions and have free air. When
using the oscilloscope in a bench-top or rack setting, provide at least 10 cm
clearance beside, above and behind the instrument for adequate ventilation.
WARNING
Inadequate ventilation may cause temperature increase which
would damage the instrument. So please keep the instrument
well ventilated during operation and inspect the intake and fan
regularly.
Working Environment
Temperature
Operating: 0℃ to +50℃
Non-operating: -40℃ to +70℃
Humidity
0℃ to +30℃：≤95％ relative humidity
+30℃ to +40℃：≤75％ relative humidity
+40℃ to +50℃：≤45％ relative humility
WARNING
To avoid short circuit inside the instrument or electric shock,
please do not operate in humid environment.

Altitude
Operating: less than 3 km
Non-operating: less than 15 km
Installation (overvoltage) Category
This product is powered by mains conforming to installation (overvoltage)
category II.
WARNING
Make sure that no overvoltage (such as that caused by
thunderbolt) can reach the product, or else the operator might
expose to danger of electric shock.
Installation (overvoltage) Category Definitions
Installation (overvoltage) category I refers to signal level which is applicable
to equipment measurement terminals connected to the source circuit. In
these terminals, precautions are done to limit the transient voltage to the
corresponding low level.
Installation (overvoltage) category II refers to the local power distribution
level which is applicable to equipment connected to the AC line (AC power).
Pollution Degree
Degree 2
Pollution Degree Definitions
Pollution degree 1: No pollution or only dry, non-conductive pollution occurs.
The pollution has no influence. For example: a clean room or air-conditioned
office environment.
Pollution degree 2: Normally only dry, non-conductive pollution occurs.
Occasionally a temporary conduc tivity caused by c ondensation may o ccur. For
example: general indoor environment.
Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, non-conductive
pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to condensation which is
expected. For example: Sheltered outdoor environment.
Pollution degree 4: Pollution that generates persistent conductivity through

conductive dust, rain, or snow. For example: outdoor locations.
Safety Class
Class 1 – Grounded Product
General Care and Cleaning
General Care:
Do not store or leave the instrument at places where the instrument will be
exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time.
Cleaning:
Clean the instrument regularly according to its operating condi t io ns. To clean
the exterior surface:
1. Disconnect the instrument from all power sources.
2. Clean the loose dust on the outside of the instrument with a lint- free
cloth (with mild detergent or water). When cleaning the LCD, take care
to avoid scarifying it.
CAUTION
To avoid damages to the instrument, do not expose them to
corrosive liquids.
WARNING
To avoid injury resulting from short circuit, make sure the
instrument is completely dry before reconnecting it to a power
source.
