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 t o t he
instrument and any product connecte d to it. To prevent potential hazards, plea se 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 e ssential t o connect the ea rth 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 ratin gs and ma rkers on the ins trument 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.

II MSO4000/DS4000 User’s Guide

RIGOL

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 oper at io ns. 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.

Do Not Operate in Wet Con d i tio n s.

In order to av oid short circuiting t o the interi or of the device or electric shock, please
do not 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 t o operate
the device away fr om an exp losive a tmosphere.

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 i n an ele ctrostatic dischar ge protectiv e envir onment 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.

Handling Safety.

Please handle with care during transportation to avoid damage to buttons, knob
interfaces and other parts on the panels.

Measurement Category

MSO4000/DS4000 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. Example s are measure me n t s on circuits n ot derived fro m
MAINS, and specially protected (internal) MAINS derived circuits. In the latter case,
transient stresses are variable. For that reason, the transient limit capabilit y 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.

Measurement category III is for measurements performed in building installations.
Examples are measurements on distribution boards, circuit-breakers, wiring,
including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, socket-outlets in the fixed
installation, 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 a
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 a temperature increase which can
damage the instrument. So please keep the instrument well ventilated
during operation and inspect the intake and fan regularly.
