WARNING

This oscilloscope can only be used for measurements within its specified
measurement categories.

WARNING

Inadequate ventilation may cause
damage the instrument
during operation and inspect the intake and fan regularly.

Measurement Category

Measurement Category

MSO2000A/DS2000A series digital oscilloscopes can make 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 (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

Make sure that no overvoltage (such as that caused by thunder

) 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.

CAUTION

To avoid damage to the instrument, do

WARNING

To avoid short

circuit resulting from moisture or personal injuries, ensure
that the instrument is completely dry before connecting it to the power
supply.

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: outdoorlocations.

General Care and Cleaning

Care:

Do not store or leave the instrument in where the instrument will be exposed to
direct sunlight for long periods of time.

Cleaning:

Clean the instrument regularly according to its operating conditions.

1. Disconnect the instrument from all power sources.

2. Clean the external surfaces of the instrument with a soft cloth dampened with
mild detergent or water. Avoid having any water or other objects into the
chassis via the heat dissipation hole. When cleaning the LCD, take care to avoid
scarifying it.

not expose it to caustic liquids.
