YOKOGAWA ELECTRIC CORPORATION (YOKOGAWA) does not in principle
supply parts other than those listed in the Customer Maintenance Parts List in this
Service Manual (mainly modules and assemblies). Therefore if an assembly fails, the
user should replace the whole assembly and NOT components within the assembly (see
NOTE). If the user attempts to repair the instrument by replacing individual components
within the assembly, YOKOGAWA assumes no responsibility for any consequences,
such as defects in instrument accuracy, functionality, or reliability, or user safety
hazards.
YOKOGAWA does not offer more detailed maintenance and service information than
that contained in this Service Manual.
All reasonable efforts have been made to assure the accuracy of the content of this
Service Manual. However, there may still be errors such as clerical errors or omissions.
YOKOGAWA assumes no responsibility of any kind concerning the accuracy or
contents of this Service Manual, nor for the consequences of any errors.
All rights reserved. No part of this Service Manual may be reproduced in any form or
by any means without the express written prior permission of YOKOGAWA. The
contents of this manual are subject to change without notice.
NOTEYOKOGAWA instruments have been designed in a way that the replacement of
electronic parts can be done on an assembly (module) basis by the user. YOKOGAWA
instruments have also been designed in a way that troubleshooting and replacement of
any faulty assembly can be done easily and quickly. Therefore, YOKOGAWA strongly
recommends replacing the entire assembly over replacing parts or components within
the assembly. The reasons are as follows:
• The instruments use high-performance microprocessors, large scale CMOS gate arrays
and surface-mount components to provide state-of-art performance and functions.
• Repair of components can only be performed by specially trained and qualified
maintenance personnel with special tools. In addition, repair of components requires
various special parts and components, including costly ones. It also requires facilities
where highly-accurate and expensive maintenance equipment and special tools are
provided.
• When taking the service life and cost of the instruments into consideration, the
replacement of assemblies offers the user the possibility to use YOKOGAWA
instruments more effectively and economically with a minimum in downtime.
This manual contains information for servicing the YOKOGAWA Digital Oscilloscope
DL1500C series.
