SDS2000X-E Series Digital Oscilloscope -I

General

Safety

Summary

Carefully read the following safety precautions to avoid any personal injury
or damage to the instrument and any products connected to it. To avoid

potential hazards, please use the instrument as specied.

Use Proper Power Cord

Only the power cord designed for the instrument and authorized by local
country could be used.

Ground the Instrument

The instrument is grounded through the protective earth conductor of the
power cord. To avoid electric shock, please make sure the instrument is
grounded correctly before connecting its input or output terminals.

Connect the Signal Wire Correctly

The potential of the signal wire ground is equal to the earth, so do not
connect the signal wire to a high voltage.

Look Over All Terminals’ Ratings

To avoid re or electric shock, please look over all ratings and sign instruction

of the instrument. Before connecting the instrument, please read the manual
carefully to gain more information about the ratings.

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 expose to danger of electrical
shock.

Electrostatic Prevention

Operate in an electrostatic discharge protective area environment to avoid
damages induced by static discharge. Always ground both the internal and
external conductors of the cable to release static before connecting.

Keep Well Ventilation

Inadequate ventilation may cause increasing of temperature, which may
eventually damage the instrument. So keep well ventilation and inspect the
intake and fan regularly.

Avoid Circuit or Components Exposed

Do not touch exposed contacts or components when the power is on.

Use Only the Specied Fuse

Do Not Operate Without Covers

Do not operate the instrument with covers or panels removed.

Quick Start

General Inspection

1. Inspect the shipping container

Keep the damaged shipping container or
cushioning material until the contents of the
shipment have been completely checked and
the instrument has passed both electrical and
mechanical tests.

The consigner or carrier will be responsible
for damages to the instrument resulting from
shipment. SIGLENT would not provide free
maintenance or replacement if the instrument
has been damaged in shipment.

2. Inspect the instrument

If there are instruments found damaged,
defective or failure in electrical and mechanical
tests, please contact SIGLENT.

3. Check the accessories

Please check the accessories according to the
packing list. If the accessories are incomplete
or damaged, please contact your SIGLENT sales
representative.

Quick Start

Adjust the Supporting Legs

Adjust the supporting legs properly to use them as stands to tilt the
oscilloscope upwards for stable placement as well as easier operation and
observation of the instrument.

Before adjusting After adjusting To Connect to Power Supply

Connect to AC Power Supply

The oscilloscope accept 100-240V, 50/60/440Hz AC power supply. Please
use the power cord provided as accessories to connect the instrument to the

power source as shown in the gure below.

Note: If at any time the fuse requires replacement, please replace only
with a fuse of the same rating as the original. If there are questions, please
contact Siglent directly.

3- SDS2000X-E Series Digital Oscilloscope

Quick Start

Power-on Inspection

When the scope is energized, turn on the power switch at the lower left corner on the front panel. During the start-up
process, the instrument performs a series of self-test items and you can hear the sound of relay switching. After the
self-test completed, the User Interface displays immediately.

Connect the Probe

SIGLENT provides passive probe for the SDS2000X-E series oscilloscope. Please refer to corresponding Probe User
Manual for detailed technical information.

Connect the probe:

1.Connect the BNC terminal of the probe to one of the channel BNC connector of the front panel.

2.Connect the probe tip to the circuit point to test and the ground alligator clip of the probe to the ground terminal of
the circuit.

Functional Inspection

1. Press to reset the oscilloscope to its factory default setup.

2. Connect the ground alligator clip of the probe to the Ground Terminal on the front panel.

3. Use the probe to connect the CH1 Input Terminal and the Compensation Signal Output Terminal on the front
panel.

4. Press

5. Observe the waveform on the screen. In normal condition, the display should be a square waveform as shown
in the photo to the right.

6. Test the other channels in the same method. If the actual square waveforms does not match that in the photo
shown, please perform “Probe Compensation”.

Note: To avoid electric shock when using the probe, rst please make certain that the insulated wire of the probe

is in good condition, and do not touch the metallic part of the probe when it is connected to a high voltage.
