al safety summary
To av oid fire or personal injury
Use proper power cord. Use only the power cord specified for
this product and certified for the country of use.
Do not use the provided power cord for other products.
Ground the product. This product is grounded through the
grounding conductor of the power cord. To avoid electric
shock, the grounding conductor must be connected to earth
ground. Before making connections to the input or output
terminals of the product, make sure that the product is properly
grounded.
Power disconnect. The power cord disconnects the product
from the power source. See instructions for the location. Do
not position the equipment so that it is difficult to operate the
power cord; it must remain accessible to the user at all times to
allow for quick disconnection if needed.
Connect and disconnect properly. Do not connect or disconnect
probes or test leads while they are connected to a voltage
source.

suita
Do not disable the power cord grounding connection.
Observe all terminal ratings. To avoid fire or shock hazard,
observe all ratings and markings on the product. Consult the
product manual for further ratings information before making
connections to the product. Do not exceed the Measurement
Category (CAT) rating and voltage or current rating of the
lowest rated individual component of a product, probe, or
accessory. Use caution when using 1:1 test leads because the
probe tip voltage is directly transmitted to the product.
Do not apply a potential to any terminal, including the c ommon
terminal, that exceeds the maximum rating of that terminal.
Do not float the common terminal above the rated voltage for
that terminal.
The measuring terminals on this product are not rated for
connection t o mains Category III or IV circuits, or to mains
Category II circuits greater than 100 V.
When connected to circuits other than mains, the maximum
transient overvoltage rating is 400 V peak.
Do not operate without covers. Do not operate this product with
covers or panels removed, or with the case open. H azardous
voltage exposure is possible.
Avoid exposed circuitry. Do not touch exposed connections
and components when power is present.
Do not operate with suspected failures. If you suspect that
there is damage to this product, have it inspected by qualified
service personnel.
Disable the product if it is damaged. Do not use the product if
it is damaged or operates incorrectly. If in doubt about safety of
the product, turn it off and disconnect the power cord. Clearly
mark the product to prevent its further operation.
Before use, inspect voltage probes, test leads, and accessories
for mechanical damage and replace when damaged. Do not use
probes or test leads if they are damaged, if there is exposed
metal, or if a wear indicator shows.
Examine the exterior of the product before you use it. Look
for cracks or missing pieces.
Use only specified replacement parts.
Do not operate in wet/damp conditions. Be aware that
condensation may occur if a unit is moved from a cold to a
warm environment.
Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere.
Keep product surfaces clean and dry. Remove the input signals
before you clean the product.
Provide proper ventilation. Refer to the installation instructions
in the TDS3000C Series User Manual for details on installing
the product so it has proper ventilation. Slots and openings
are provided for ventilation and should never be covered or
otherwise obstructed. Do not push objects into any of the
openings.
Provide a safe working environment. Always place the product
in a location convenient for viewing the display and indicators.
Avoid improper or prolonged use of keyboards, pointers, and
button pads. Improper or prolonged keyboard or pointer use
may result in serious injury.

Compliance information
This section lists the EMC (electromagnetic compliance),
safety, and environmental standards with which the instrument
complies.
Questions about the compliance information below may be
directed to the following address:

EMC compliance
EU EMC Directive
Meets intent of Directive 2014/30/EU for Electromagnetic
Compatibility. Compliance was demonstrated to the following
specifications as listed in the Official Journal of the European
Communities:
EN 61326-1, EN 61326-2-1. EMC requirements for electrical
equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use.
CISPR 11. Radiated and conducted emissions, Group 1,

IEC 61000-4-2. Electrostatic discharge immunity

EN 61000-3-3. Voltage changes, fluctuations, and flicker
1
This product is intended for use in nonresidential areas only. Use in residential
areas may cause electromagnetic interference.
2
Emissions which exceed the levels required by this standard may occur when
this equipment is connected to a test object.
3
Equipment may not meet the immunity requirements of applicable listed
standards when test leads and/or test probes are connected due to coupling
of electromagnetic interference onto those leads/probes. To minimize the
influence of electromagnetic interference, minimize the loop area between the
unshielded portions of signal and associated return leads, and keep leads
as far away as possible from electromagnetic disturbance sources. Twisting
unshielded test leads together is an effective way to reduce loop area. For
probes, keep the ground return lead as short as possible and close to the
probe body. Some probes have accessory probe tip adapters to accomplish
this most effectively. In all cases, observe all safety instructions for the probes
or leads used.
4
For compliance with the EMC standards listed here, high quality shielded
interface cables that incorporate low impedance connection between the cable
shield and the connector shell should be used.

environmental impact of the product.
Operating overview
Refer to the User Manual for complete operating information
and product specifications.
Power source
Use a power source that delivers 100 VACto 240 VAC(±10%),
with a frequency between 47 Hz and 440 Hz.
This Oscilloscope operates from a single-phase power source
with the neutral conductor at or near earth ground. It is intended
for only ground-referenced measurements. A protective ground
connection through the grounding conductor in the power cord
is essential for safe operation.
The line fuse is internal and is not operator replaceable.
