Introduction

This brief guide includes important safety and installation information for your new oscilloscope along with brief operating procedures to get you started capturing, viewing, and analyzing your waveforms.

The information contained in this guide also appears in greater detail in the on-line Help manual resident in the scope and is also available at www.lecroy.com.

WE-GS-E Rev A ISSUED: September 2005 5

Safety Requirements

This section contains information and warnings that must be observed to keep the scope 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 scope’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 scope’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 ESD symbol indicates a potential hazard. It calls attention to the susceptibility of the equipment to electrostatic discharge (ESD) induced damage if anti-static measures are not taken.

6 ISSUED: September 2005 WE-GS-E Rev A

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

CA T 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

WaveExpert Getting Started Guide

The scope 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 scope must not be operated in explosive, dusty, or wet atmospheres.

CAUTION

Protect the scope’s display touch screen from excessive impacts with foreign objects.

CAUTION

Do not exceed the maximum specified front panel terminal voltage levels. Refer to Specifications for more details.

CAUTION

ESD sensitive: The sampling modules inputs are highly static sensitive. A grounding strap must be worn at all times when handling the modules.

WE-GS-E Rev A ISSUED: September 2005 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

Note:

The design of the scope 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

The scope 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

CAUTION

Do not block the ventilation holes located on both sides and rear of the scope.

and rear of the SCOPE. To ensure adequate ventilation it is required to leave a 10 cm (4 inch) minimum gap around the sides and rear of the instrument.

CAUTION

Do not allow any foreign matter to enter the scope through the ventilation holes, etc.

8 ISSUED: September 2005 WE-GS-E Rev A

AC Power Source

WaveExpert Getting Started Guide

The scope operates from a single-phase, 100 to 240 V (+/-5%), or single-phase 100 to 120 V

(+/-10%) power source at 50/60 Hz

rms

(+/-

10%) at 400 Hz (+/-5%) power source.

No manual voltage selection is required because the scope automatically adapts to line voltage.

Depending on the accessories installed (sampling modules, PC port plug-ins, etc.), the scope can draw up to 400 W (400 VA).

The power supply of the scope is protected against short circuit and overload by a 5x20 mm fuse (T6.3 A/250 V).

Power and Ground Connections

The scope is provided with a grounded cord set containing a molded three-terminal 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.

Note:

The scope automatically adapts itself to the AC line input within the following ranges:

Voltage Range: 90 to 264 V

Frequency Range: 47 to 63 Hz 380 to 420 Hz

90 to 132 V

rms

WARNING

Electric Shock Hazard!

Any interruption of the protective conductor inside or outside of the scope, or disconnection of the safety ground terminal creates a hazardous situation.

Intentional interruption is prohibited.

In Standby mode the scope 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 scope should be positioned to allow easy access to the socket-outlet. To disconnect the scope from the AC supply, unplug the instrument’s power cord from the AC outlet after the scope is placed in Standby state.

See “Standby (Power) Switch and scope Operational States” section for more information.

WE-GS-E Rev A ISSUED: September 2005 9

Standby (Power) Switch and Scope Operational States

The front Standby (Power) switch controls the operational state of the scope. This toggle switch is activated by momentarily pressing and releasing it.

The scope’s factory settings result in only two basic scope states: On or Standby. In the case of Standby, the scope is powered off with the exception of some “housekeeping” circuitry (approximately 12 watts dissipation). The scope 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 scope is not being used for an extended period of time.

The user has the ability to change the scope original factory settings via the “Power Options Properties” menu in Windows by following the path: Settings – Power Options. It is important to note that the Windows Power Option named “Standby” provides control of only the scope’s computer subsystems (CPU, hard drive, etc.) and does not affect the other subsystems within the scope. 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. Regarding control buttons, the scope uses only a power button/switch and therefore references to a sleep button are not applicable.

The scope can always be placed in the Standby state -- Power Off (except for some “housekeeping” circuits) -- by pressing and holding in the Standby toggle switch for approximately 5 seconds.

Fuse Replacement

Set the scope Standby (power) switch to Standby mode 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 screwdriver. Remove the old fuse, replace it with a new 5x20 mm IEC 127 Time Lag (“T” rated) 6.3 A / 250 V fuse, and reinstall the fuse holder.

10 ISSUED: September 2005 WE-GS-E Rev A

WARNING

For continued fire protection at all line voltages, replace the fuse with the specified type and rating only. Disconnect the power cord before replacing fuse.

WaveExpert Getting Started Guide

Calibration

The recommended calibration interval is one year. Calibration should be performed by qualified personnel only.

Cleaning

Clean only the exterior of the scope, using a damp, soft cloth. Do not use chemicals or abrasive elements. Under no circumstances allow moisture to penetrate the instrument. To avoid electrical shock, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before cleaning.

Abnormal Conditions

Operate the scope only as intended by the manufacturer.

If you suspect the scope’s protection has been impaired, disconnect the power cord and secure the instrument against any unintended operation.

The scope’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 scope depends on careful reading of all instructions and labels.

WARNING

No operator serviceable parts inside. Do not remove covers.

Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

WARNING

Any use of the scope in a manner not specified by the manufacturer may impair the instrument’s safety protection. The scope and related accessories should not be directly connected to human subjects or used for patient monitoring.
