Safety Requirement
General Safety Summary
Please review the following safety pre cautio ns ca refully before putting the
instrument into operation so as to avoid any personal injury or damage t o t he
instrument and any product connected to it. To prevent potential hazards, please
follow the instructions specified in this manual to use the instrument properly.
Use Proper Power Cord.
Only the exclusive power cord designed for the instrument and author ized 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, connect the earth terminal of the power cord to the Protective
Earth terminal before connecting any input or output terminals.
Connect the Probe Correctly.
If a probe is used, the probe ground lead must be connected to earth ground. Do not
connect the ground lead to hi gh volta ge. I mpr oper w a y of conne ction coul d result in
dangerous voltages being present on the connectors, controls or other surfaces of
the oscilloscope and probes, which will cause potential hazards for operators.
Observe All Terminal Ratings.
To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all ratings and ma rkers on the ins trument and
check your manual for more information about ratings before connecting the
instrument.
Use Proper Overvoltage Protection.
Ensure that no over voltage (su ch as that cause d by a bolt of lightning ) can reach the
product. Otherwise, the operator might be ex posed to the danger of an electric
shock.

Do Not Operate Without Covers.
Do not operate the instrument with covers or panels removed.
Do Not Insert Objects Into the Air Outlet.
Do not insert objects into the air outlet, as doing so may cause damage t o the
instrument.
Use Proper Fuse.
Please use the specified fuses.
Avoid Circuit or Wire Exposure.
Do not touch exposed junc tions and components when the unit is powered on.
Do Not Operate With Suspected Failures.
If you suspect that any damage may occur to the instrument, have it inspected by
RIGOL authorized p ersonnel before further operations. Any maintenance,
adjustment or replacement especially to ci rcuits or accessories must be performed by
RIGOL authorized personnel.
Provide Adequate Ventilation.
Inadequate ventilation may cause an increase of tem perature in the instrument,
which would cause damage to the instrument. So please keep the instrument well
ventilated and inspect the air outlet and the fan regular ly.
Do Not Operate in Wet Conditions.
To avoid short circuit inside the instrument or electric shock, never operate the
instrument in a humid environment.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere.
To avoid personal injuries or damage to the instrument, never o perate the
instrument in an explo sive atmosphere.
Keep Instrument Surfaces Clean and Dry.
T o a void dust or moisture from af fecting the pe rformance of the inst rument, keep th e
surfaces of the instrument clean and dr y.
MSO2000A/DS2000A User Guide
RIGOL
Prevent Electrostatic Impact.
Operate the instrume nt in an electrosta tic discharge protective environ ment to a void
damage induced by static disc harges. Always ground both the internal and external
conductors of cables to release static before making connections.
Use the Battery Properly.
Do not expose the battery (if availa ble) to high temperature or fire. Keep it out of the
reach of children. Improper change of a battery (lithium battery) may cause an
explosion. Use the RIGOL specified battery only.
Handle with Caution.
Please handle with care dur ing transportation to avoi d damage to keys, knobs,
interfaces, and other parts on the panels.

MSO2000A/DS2000A series digital oscillos copes 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. Examples are measu re me n t s on circuits not derived f rom
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 volta ge install ation. Exa mples a re measure ments o n house hold
appliances, portable tools and similar equipment.
Measurement category III is fo r measure ments perf ormed in the b uilding inst allation.
Examp les are me asuremen ts on distribution boards, circuit-breakers, wiring,
including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, soc ket-outlets in the fixed
installation, and equipment for industrial use and some other equipment, for
example. Stationary motors with p ermanent connection to the fixed installation.
Measurement category IV is for measurements performed at the source of the
low-voltage installation. Examples are electr ic ity meters and measurements on
primary overcurrent protection devices and r ipple 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 temperature increase which would
damage the instrument. So please keep the instrument well ventilated
during operation and inspect the intake and fan regularly.

to the danger of electric shock.
Installation (Overvoltage) Cate g o ry 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 do ne 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).

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 c lean room or air-conditioned office
environment.
Pollution degree 2: Normally only dry, non-conductive pollution occurs. Occasionally
a temporary conductivity caused by condensat ion may occur. For example: general
indoor environment.
Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, non-conductive pollution
occurs which becomes cond uctive due to condensation which is expected. For
example: Sheltered outdoor environment.
