Subject to change without notice

Safe operation may be endangered if any of the following
was noticed:

–   in case of visible damage.
–  in case loose parts were noticed
–  if it does not function any more.
–  after prolonged storage under unfavourable conditions (e.g.

like in the open or in moist atmosphere).

– after any improper transport (e.g. insufﬁ cient packing not

conforming to the minimum standards of post, rail or trans-
port ﬁ rm)

Proper operation

Please note: This instrument is only destined for use by person-
nel well instructed and familiar with the dangers of electrical
measurements.

For safety reasons the oscilloscope may only be operated from
mains outlets with safety ground connector. It is prohibited
to separate the safety ground connection. The plug must be
inserted prior to connecting any signals.

CAT I

This oscilloscope is destined for measurements in circuits not
connected to the mains or only indirectly. Direct measurements,

Important hints

Please check the instrument for mechanical damage or loose
parts immediately after unpacking. In case of damage we advise
to contact the sender. Do not operate.

Positioning the instrument

As can be seen from the ﬁ gures, the handle can be set into
different positions:

A and B = carrying
C = horizontal operating
D and E = operating at different angles
F = handle removal
T = shipping (handle unlocked)

STOP

Attention!

When changing the handle position, the instrument
must be placed so that it can not fall (e.g. placed
on a table). Then the handle locking knobs must be
simultaneously pulled outwards and rotated to the
required position. Without pulling the locking knobs
they will latch in into the next locking position.

Handle mounting/dismounting

The handle can be removed by pulling it out further, depending
on the instrument model in position B or F.

Safety

The instrument fulﬁ ls the VDE 0411 part 1 regulations for elec-
trical measuring, control and laboratory instruments and was
manufactured and tested accordingly. It left the factory in perfect
safe condition. Hence it also corresponds to European Standard
EN 61010-1 respectively International Standard IEC 1010-1. In
order to maintain this condition and to ensure safe operation the
user is required to observe the warnings and other directions
for use in this manual. Housing, chassis as well as all measu-
ring terminals are connected to safety ground of the mains.
All accessible metal parts were tested against the mains with
2200 V

. The instrument conforms to safety class I.

The oscilloscope may only be operated from mains outlets with
a safety ground connector. The plug has to be installed prior to
connecting any signals. It is prohibited to separate the safety
ground connection.

Most electron tubes generate X-rays; the ion dose rate of this in-
strument remains well below the 36 pA/kg permitted by law.

In case safe operation may not be guaranteed do not use the
instrument any more and lock it away in a secure place.
