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
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 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 essential to connect the earth 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 voltage since it has isobaric electric
potential as the 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 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.
Do Not Operate With Suspected Failures.
If you suspect damage occurs to the instrument, have it inspected by RIGOL authorized 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 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.

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 operate the device
away from an explosive 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 in an electrostatic discharge 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.
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 only.

Measurement Category
Measurement Category
MSO1000Z/DS1000Z series digital oscilloscopes can make measurements in Measurement
Category I.
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.
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.

Installation (Overvoltage) Category
This product is powered by mains conforming to installation (overvoltage) category II.
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.
