SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This chapter contains important safety instructions that you must follow during operation and storage. Read the following before any operation to insure your safety and to keep the instrument in the best possible condition.

Safety Symbols

These safety symbols may appear in this manual or on the DSO1000D.

DSO-1000D Series User Manual

Do not dispose electronic equipment as unsorted municipal waste. Please use a separate collection facility or contact the supplier from which this instrument was purchased.

General Guideline

CAUTION

 Make sure the BNC input voltage does not

exceed 300Vrms.

 Never connect a hazardous live voltage to the

ground side of the BNC connectors. It might lead to fire and electric shock.

 Do not place any heavy object on the DSO-

1000D.

 Avoid severe impact or rough handling that

leads to damaging the DSO-1000D.

 Do not discharge static electricity to the DSO-

1000D.

 Use only mating connectors, not bare wires, for

the terminals.

 Do not block the cooling fan opening.  Do not perform measurement at a power source

or building installation site (Note below).

 Do not disassemble the DSO-1000D unless you

are qualified.

(Measurement categories) EN 61010-1:2010 specifies the measurement categories and their requirements as follows. The DSO-1000D falls under category I.

 Measurement category IV is for measurement performed at the

source of low-voltage installation.

 Measurement category III is for measurement performed in the

building installation.

 Measurement category II is for measurement performed on the

circuits directly connected to the low voltage installation.

 Measurement category I is for measurements performed on

circuits not directly connected to Mains.

Safety Guidelines

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Power Supply

WARNING

 AC Input voltage: 100 - 240V AC, 50 - 60Hz,

auto selection. Power consumption: 30 Watts.

 Connect the protective grounding conductor of

the AC power cord to an earth ground, to avoid electrical shock.

Cleaning the DSO-1000D

 Disconnect the power cord before cleaning.  Use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild

detergent and water. Do not spray any liquid.

 Do not use chemicals containing harsh materials

such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and acetone.

Operation Environment

 Location: Indoor, no direct sunlight, dust free,

almost non-conductive pollution (Note below)

 Relative Humidity: ≤80%, 40°C or below; ≤45%,

41°C ~ 50°C

 Altitude: < 2000m  Temperature: 0°C to 50°C

(Pollution Degree) EN 61010-1:2010 specifies the pollution degrees and their requirements as follows. The DSO-1000D falls under degree 2.

Pollution refers to “addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid, or gaseous (ionized gases), that may produce a reduction of dielectric strength or surface resistivity”.

 Pollution degree 1: No pollution or only dry, non-conductive

pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence.

 Pollution degree 2: Normally only non-conductive pollution

occurs. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused by condensation must be expected.

 Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, non-

conductive pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to condensation which is expected. In such conditions, equipment is normally protected against exposure to direct sunlight, precipitation, and full wind pressure, but neither temperature nor humidity is controlled.

DSO-1000D Series User Manual

Storage environment

 Location: Indoor  Temperature: -10ºC to 60ºC  Humidity: Up to 93% RH (non-condensing) /

≤40ºC, up to 65% RH (non-condensing) / 41ºC ~ 60 ºC

Disposal

Do not dispose this instrument as unsorted municipal waste. Please use a separate collection facility or contact the supplier from which this instrument was purchased. Please make sure discarded electrical waste is properly recycled to reduce environmental impact.

Power cord for the United Kingdom

When using the oscilloscope in the United Kingdom, make sure the power cord meets the following safety instructions.

NOTE: This lead/appliance must only be wired by competent persons

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED IMPORTANT: The wires in this lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

As the colours of the wires in main leads may not correspond with the coloured marking identified in your plug/appliance, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured Green & Yellow must be connected to the Earth terminal marked with either the letter E, the earth symbol

or coloured Green/Green & Yellow.

The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured Blue or Black.

The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or P or coloured Brown or Red.

If in doubt, consult the instructions provided with the equipment or contact the supplier.

This cable/appliance should be protected by a suitably rated and approved HBC mains fuse: refer to the rating information on the equipment and/or user instructions for details. As a guide, a cable of 0.75mm2 should be protected by a 3A or 5A fuse. Larger conductors would normally require 13A types, depending on the connection method used.

Any exposed wiring from a cable, plug or connection that is engaged in a live socket is extremely hazardous. If a cable or plug is deemed hazardous, turn off the mains power and remove the cable, any fuses and fuse assemblies. All hazardous wiring must be immediately destroyed and replaced in accordance to the above standard.

DSO-1000D Series User Manual

Background

This section describes the conventions used in this manual to operate the DSO-1000D.

Throughout the manual any reference to pressing a menu key refers to the keys directly below or beside any menu icons or parameters.

When the user manual says to “toggle” a value or

parameter, press the corresponding menu item. Pressing the item will toggle the value or parameter.

Active parameters are highlighted for each menu item. For example in the example below, Coupling is currently set to DC.

If a menu item can be toggled from one value or parameter to another, the available options will be visible, with the current option highlighted. In the example below the slope can be toggled from a rising slope to a falling slope or either slope.
