Safety Requirement

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 connected 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 more information about ratings before 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.

RIGOL

Avoid Circuit or Wire Exposure.

Do not touch exposed junctions and 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 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

DS2000 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: -20 to +70

Humidity

Under +35 : ≤90 relative humidity +35 to +40 : ≤60 relative humidity

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 conductivity caused by condensation may occur. 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.

To Connect the Probe

RIGOL provides passive probes for the DS2000 series oscilloscopes. For detailed technical information of the probes, please refer to the corresponding Probe User’s Guide. The following are the probes recommended for this oscilloscope.

Model	Description
RP3300	350	MHz, passive probe, standard
RP3500A	500	MHz, passive probe, optional

Connect the Probe:

1.Connect the BNC terminal of the probe to a channel BNC connector of the oscilloscope at the front panel.

2.Connect the probe tip to the circuit point to be tested and connect the ground alligator clip of the probe to the circuit ground terminal.

Function Inspection

1.Press Storage  Default to restore the instrument to its default configuration.

2.Connect the ground alligator clip of the probe to the “Ground Terminal” under the probe compensation signal output terminal.

3.Use the probe to connect the input terminal of CH1 of the oscilloscope and the “Compensation Signal Output Terminal” of the probe.

Compensation Signal Output Terminal

Ground Terminal

Figure 1-6 To Use the Compensation Signal

4.Press AUTO.

5.Observe the waveform on the display. In normal condition, the display should be a square waveform as shown in the figure below:

Figure 1-7 Square Waveform

6.Use the same method to test the other channels. If the square waveforms actually shown do not match that in the figure above, please perform “Probe Compensation” in the next section.

WARNING

To avoid electric shock during the use of probe, please make sure that the insulated wire of the probe is in good condition and do not touch the metallic part of the probe when the probe is connected to high voltage source.
