the local country where the product is being used.
Ground The Instrument.
The instrument is grounded through the Protective Earth lead of the power cord. To
avoid ele ctric sh ock, it is e ssential to conne ct the ear th terminal of power co rd to the
Protective Earth terminal before any inputs or outputs.
Connect The Probe Properly.
Do not connect the ground lead to high voltage.
Observe All Terminal Ratings.
To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all ratin gs and mark ers on the inst rument and
check your manual for more information about ratings before connecting.
Use Proper Overvoltage Protection.
Make sure that n o ov erv oltage (such as that produced by a thunderstorm) can reach
the product, or else the operator might expose to danger of electrical shock.

Measurement Category
Measurement Category
The MSO4000/DS4000 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 M AINS. Examples are me a s urements on circuits no t de rived from
MAINS, and specially protected (internal) MAINS derived circuits. In the latter case,
transient stresses are variable. For that reason, the transient limit capability of the
equipment is made known to the user.
Measurement category II is for measurements performed on circuits directly
connected to a low voltage installation. Examples are measurements on household
appliances, portable tools and similar equipment.
Measuremen t c ategory III is for measurements performed in building installations.
Examples are measurements on distribution boards, circuit-breakers, w iring,
including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, socket-outlets in the fixed
installation, equipment for industrial use and Stationary motors with permanent
connection to a fixed installation.
Measurement category IV is for measurements performed at the source of a
low-voltage installation. Examples are electricity meters and measurements on
primary overcurr e n t prot ec ti on devices and ripple control units.

WARNING
Ventilation Requirement
This oscilloscope uses f ans to force cooling. Please make su re t hat the ai r int ak e a nd
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 a temperature increase which can
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 a thunderstorm)
can reach the product, or else the operator might be exposed to the
danger of electric shock.
Installation (overvoltage) Categor y 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. An occasional
and temporary conductive environment may caused by condensation. Fo r example, a
general indoor environment.
Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, non-conductive pollution
occurs which becomes conductive due to condensation. For example, a Sheltered
outdoor environment.
Pollution degree 4: Pollution that generates persistent conductivity through
conductive dust, rain, or snow. Fo r example, outdoor locations.
