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.

Troubleshooting
The commonly encountered failures and their solutions are listed below. When you
encounter those failures, please solve them following the corresponding steps. If the
problem remains still, please contact RIGOLand provide your device information
(acquisition method: UtilityÆSystemÆSystemInfo).
1. The screen is still dark (no display) after you powered on the
instrument.
(1) Check whether the power switch is turned on.
(2) Check whetherthe power is correctly connected.
(3) Check whetherthe fuse is burned out. If the fuse needs to be changed,
please use the specified fuse.
(4) Restart the instrument after finishing the above inspections.
(5) If it still persists, please contactRIGOL.
2. The signal is sampled but no waveform of the signal is displayed.
(1) Check whetherthe probe is correctly connected to the item under tested.
(2) Check whethersignals are generated from the item under test (you can
connect the probe compensation signal to the problematic channel to locate
the problem).
(3) Resample the signal.
3. The voltage amplitude measured is greater or smallerthan the actual
value (note that this failure usually only occurs when probe is used).
Check whether the attenuation ratioof the channel complies with the attenuation
ratio of the probe.
4. Waveforms are found to be displayed but not stable.
(1) Check the trigger signal source: press MENUofthe TRIGGER Control
Areaonthe front panel, then press Sourceto confirmwhether the setting
complies with the signal channel actually used.
(2) Check the trigger type: general signals should use "Edge" trigger and video
signal should use "Video" trigger. Only when the proper trigger type is used,
can the waveform be displayed stably.
(3) Check the trigger level: adjust the trigger level to the middle of the signal.
MSO2000A/DS2000A Quick Guide
Page 37
27
(4) Change the trigger holdoff setting.
5. No display is found after pressing RUN/STOP.
Check the TRIGGER Control Areaonthe front panel to confirm whether the
trigger mode is "Normal"or "Single" and whether the trigger level exceeds the
waveform range. If yes, set the trigger level to the middle or pressthe MODE to
set the trigger mode to"Auto".
Note:Pressing AUTO could automatically finish the above setting.
6. The display of waveform is ladder-like.
(1) The horizontal time base might be too low. Increase the horizontal time
base to increase the horizontal resolution and improve the display.
(2) If the display Type is "Vectors", the lines between the sample points may
cause ladder-like display. Press DisplayÆType, set the display type
to"Dots"to solve the problem.

7.I Failto connect PC or PictBridge through USB.
(1) PressUtilityÆIO SettingÆUSB Device to check whether the
settingmatches the devicecurrently connected.
(2) Check whether the USB cable is correctly connected to the instrument and
PC.
(3) Check whether the USB cable is in good condition. If needed, restart the
oscilloscope.
8. The USBstoragedevice cannot be recognized.
(1) Check whetherthe USB storagedevice can work normally.
(2) Check whether the USB storagedevice being used is flash type. This
oscilloscope does not support USB3.0 and hardware type USB storage
device.
(3) Check whether the capacity of the USB storagedevice is too large. It is
recommended that the capacity of the USB storagedevice being used with
this oscilloscope should not exceed8GBytes.
(4) Restart the instrument and then insert the USB storagedevice to check it.
(5) If the USB storagedevice still cannot be used normally, please contact
RIGOL.
