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

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.

You should properly compensate the probe at rst use of it. Non-compensated or inadequate compensated probe may cause inaccurate measurement. The

following steps are about probe compensation:

1. Perform step 1, 2 , 3 and 4 of “Functional Inspection”.

2. Check the displayed waveforms and compare them with the following gure.

Trouble
Shooting

The general failures and consequential solutions are listed below. When you nd them, please deal with them in the following corresponding ways. If the problem

proves to be unsolvable, please contact SIGLENT as soon as possible.

1. The screen remains dark after power on:

(1) Check if the power is correctly connected.

(2) Check if the power switch is faulted.

(3) Check whether the fuse is burned out. If the fuse needs to be changed, please contact SIGLENT as soon as possible and return the instrument to the factory to
have it repaired by service personnel authorized by SIGLENT.

(4) Restart the instrument after completing inspections above

(5) If it still does not work normally, please contact SIGLENT.

2. After the signal is sampled, there is no corresponding waveform displaying:

(1)Check if the probe is correctly connected to the signal connecting cord.

(2) Check if the signal connecting cord is correctly connected to BNC.

(3) Check if the probe is correctly connected to the item under test.

(4) Check if there are signal generated from the item under test.

(5) Resample the signal.

3.The voltage amplitude measured is higher or lower than the actual value (the error usually occurs in use of the probe):Check if the attenuation

coefcient of the current channel matches with the attenuation ratio of the probe.

4.There is waveform displaying but not stable:

(1) Check the trigger source: check whether the “Source” in menu of “TRIG” is the actual operating channel.

(2) Check if the waveform is wrong: it is easy for us to regard the wrong waveform as the real when a high frequency signal is connected to the instrument. You’d

better make sure that the current time base is correct.
(3) Check the trigger type: “Edge” trigger suits to general signal and “Video” trigger suits to video signal. Only in correct trigger type can the waveform stably
displays.
(4) Change the setting of trigger holdoff.

19- SDS2000X-E Series Digital Oscilloscope

Trouble
Shooting

5. No display after pressing :

Check whether the trigger Mode is “Normal” or “Single”, and if the trigger level exceeds the waveform range. If yes, set the trigger level to the middle or change the
trigger Mode to “Auto”.

Note: press “Auto Scale” could automatically replace the above setting.

6.The waveform displays like ladder:

(1) The horizontal time base may be too low, you can increase it to improve the horizontal resolution so as to make a good waveform displaying.

(2) The lines between the sample points may also cause ladder-like displaying if the “Type” in menu of “DISPLAY” is “Vectors”. Please turn the “Type” to “Dots” to
solve the problem.

7.USB storage can’t be recognized:

(1) Check if the USB ash disk can work normally.

(2) Check if the USB Device Host can work normally.

(3) Make sure the USB disk being used is of ash type, the instrument does not support USB of hardware type.

(4) Restart the instrument and then insert the USB to check it.
(5) If it is still in abnormal use, please contact with SIGLENT.
