Safety Requirements
This section contains information and warnings that must be observed to keep the X-Stream DSO
operating in a correct and safe condition. You are required to follow generally accepted safety
procedures in addition to the safety precautions specified in this section.
Safety Symbols
Where the following symbols appear on the X-Stream DSO’s front or rear panels, or in this
manual, they alert you to important safety considerations.
This symbol is used where caution is required. Refer to the accompanying
information or documents in order to protect against personal injury or damage
to the instrument.
This symbol warns of a potential risk of shock hazard.
This symbol is used to denote the measurement ground connection.
This symbol is used to denote a safety ground connection.
This symbol is used to denote a grounded frame or chassis terminal.
This symbol shows that the switch is a Standby (power) switch. When it is
pressed, the DSO’s state toggles between operating and Standby mode. This
switch is not a disconnect device. The instrument can only be placed in a
complete Power Off state by unplugging the power cord from the AC supply.
This symbol is used to denote "Alternating Current."
The CAUTION sign indicates a potential hazard. It calls attention to a
CAUTION
procedure, practice or condition which, if not followed, could possibly cause
damage to equipment. If a CAUTION is indicated, do not proceed until its
conditions are fully understood and met.

The WARNING sign indicates a potential hazard. It calls attention to a
WARNING
procedure, practice or condition which, if not followed, could possibly cause
bodily injury or death. If a WARNING is indicated, do not proceed until its
conditions are fully understood and met.
Installation (Overvoltage) Category rating per EN 61010-1 safety standard. It is
CAT I
applicable to the oscilloscope front panel measuring terminals. CAT I rated
terminals must only be connected to source circuits in which measures are
taken to limit transient voltages to an appropriately low level.
Operating Environment
Getting Started Manual
The X-Stream DSO is intended for indoor use
and should be operated in a clean, dry
environment with an ambient temperature
within the range of 5 °C to 40 °C.
Note: Direct sunlight, radiators, and other heat sources
should be taken into account when assessing the ambient
temperature.
WARNING
The DSO must not be operated in explosive,
dusty, or wet atmospheres.
CAUTION
Protect the DSO’s display touch screen from
excessive impacts with foreign objects.
CAUTION
Do not exceed the maximum specified front
panel measuring terminals (CH1, CH2, CH3,
CH4, AUX IN) voltage levels. Refer to
“Specifications” in the on-line Help manual for
more details.
WM-GS-E Rev E 7
Installation (Overvoltage) Category II refers to
local distribution level, which is applicable for
equipment connected to the mains supply (AC
power source).
Installation (Overvoltage) Category I refers to
signal level, which is applicable for equipment
measuring terminals that are connected to
source circuits in which measures are taken to
limit transient voltages to an appropriately low
level.
Pollution Degree 2 refers to an operating
environment where normally only dry nonconductive pollution occurs. Occasionally a
temporary conductivity caused by condensation
must be expected.
Protection Class 1 refers to grounded
equipment, in which protection against electric
shock is achieved by Basic Insulation and by
means of a connection to the protective
earthing conductor in the building wiring.
Cooling
The X-Stream DSO relies on forced air cooling
with internal fans and ventilation openings. Care
must be taken to avoid restricting the airflow
around the apertures (fan holes) at the sides and
rear of the DSO. To ensure adequate ventilation it
is required to leave a 10 cm (4 inch) minimum gap
around the sides and rear of the instrument.
Note:
The design of the X-Stream DSO has been verified to
conform to EN 61010-1 safety standard per the following
limits:
Installation (Overvoltage) Categories II (Mains Supply
Connector) & I (Measuring Terminals)
Pollution Degree 2
Protection Class I
CAUTION
Do not block the ventilation holes located on
both sides and rear of the DSO.
CAUTION
Do not allow any foreign matter to enter the
DSO through the ventilation holes, etc.

WM-GS-E Rev E 9
Power and Ground Connections
The X-Stream DSO is provided with a
grounded cord set containing a molded threeterminal polarized plug and a standard IEC320
(Type C13) connector for making line voltage
and safety ground connection. The AC inlet
ground terminal is connected directly to the
frame of the instrument. For adequate
protection against electrical shock hazard, the
power cord plug must be inserted into a mating
AC outlet containing a safety ground contact.
In Standby mode the DSO is still connected to
the AC supply. The instrument can only be
placed in a complete Power Off state by
physically disconnecting the power cord from
the AC supply.
The DSO should be positioned to allow easy
access to the socket-outlet. To disconnect the
DSO from the AC supply, unplug the
instrument’s power cord from the AC outlet
after the DSO is placed in Standby state.
See “Standby (Power) Switch and DSO
Operational States” section for more
information.
Standby (Power) Switch and DSO Operational States
WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard!
Any interruption of the protective conductor
inside or outside of the DSO, or disconnection
of the safety ground terminal creates a
hazardous situation.
Intentional interruption is prohibited.
CAUTION
The outer shells of the front panel terminals
(CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4, AUX IN, AUX OUT) are
connected to the instrument’s chassis and
therefore to the safety ground.
The front Standby (Power) switch controls the operational state of the DSO. This toggle switch is
activated by momentarily pressing and releasing it. The color of the LED below the switch
indicates the status of the DSO as follows:
On (LED Green)* DSO is fully powered and operational
Standby (LED Off)* DSO is powered off (except for some “housekeeping” circuits)
Standby (LED Red) DSO’s computer subsystems (hard drive, etc.) are in Standby (reduced
Power mode). All other DSO subsystems are fully powered.
* Factory Settings
The DSO’s factory settings result in only two basic DSO states: On (LED Green) or Standby (LED
Off). In the case of Standby (LED Off), the DSO is powered off with the exception of some
“housekeeping” circuitry (approximately 12 watts dissipation). The DSO can only be placed in a
complete power off state by unplugging the instrument’s power cord from the primary power
source (AC outlet). It is recommended that the power cord be unplugged from the AC outlet if the
DSO is not being used for an extended period of time.
10 WM-GS-E Rev E
Getting Started Manual
The User has the ability to change the DSO original factory settings via the “Power Options
Properties” menu in Windows by following the path: Settings – Power Options. Its important to
note that the Windows Power Option named “Standby” provides control of only the DSO’s
computer subsystems (CPU, hard drive, etc.) and does not affect the other subsystems within the
DSO. In general, these other subsystems remain fully powered. For additional information on
setting these Power Options, see the Windows Help menu or other related technical
documentation. In terms of control buttons, this DSO uses only a power button/switch and
therefore references to a sleep button are not applicable.
The DSO can always be placed in the Standby state (LED Off) Power Off (except for some
“housekeeping” circuits) by pressing and holding in the Standby toggle switch for approximately 5
seconds.
Fuse Replacement
Set the DSO Standby (power) switch to
Standby mode (LED off) and disconnect the
power cord before inspecting or replacing the
fuse. Open the black fuse holder (located at
the rear of the instrument directly to the right of
the AC inlet) using a small, flat-bladed

For continued fire protection at all line
voltages, replace fuse with the specified type
and rating only. Disconnect the power cord
before replacing fuse.
screwdriver. Remove the old fuse, replace it
with a new 5x20 mm IEC 127 Time Lag (“T”
rated) 10 A / 250 V fuse, and reinstall the fuse
holder.
Calibration
The recommended calibration interval is one year. Calibration should be performed by qualified
personnel only.
Cleaning
Clean only the exterior of the X-Stream DSO,
using a damp, soft cloth. Do not use chemicals
or abrasive elements. Under no circumstances
allow moisture to penetrate the instrument. To

No operator serviceable parts inside. Do not
remove covers.
avoid electrical shock, unplug the power cord
from the AC outlet before cleaning.
Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
WM-GS-E Rev E 11
Abnormal Conditions
Operate the X-Stream DSO only as intended
by the manufacturer.
If you suspect the DSO’s protection has been
impaired, disconnect the power cord and
secure the instrument against any unintended
operation.
The DSO’s protection is likely to be impaired if,
for example, the instrument shows visible
damage or has been subjected to severe
transport stresses.
Proper use of the X-Stream DSO depends on
careful reading of all instructions and labels.
WARNING
Any use of the DSO in a manner not specified
by the manufacturer may impair the
instrument’s safety protection. The X-Stream
DSO and related accessories should not be
directly connected to human subjects or used
for patient monitoring.
