1.2 Setting up the instrument
As you can see from the picture, there are small feets on the
bottom which can be folded out. Please make sure you have
fully folded out the feet‘s in order to ensure stability of the
instrument.
Fig. 1.1: Operating positions
The instrument must be installed in a way, that at any time the
disconnection of the power line is not restricted.
1.3 Safety
The instrument fulfils the VDE 0411 part 1 regulations for
electrical 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 and International Standard IEC 1010-1.
In order to maintain this condition and to ensure safe opera
-
tion the user is required to observe the warnings and other
directions for use in this manual. Housing, chassis as well as
all measuring terminals are connected to safety ground of the
mains. All accessible metal parts were tested against the mains
with 2200 V
DC
. The instrument conforms to safety class I. The
oscilloscope may only be operated from mains outlets with a
safety ground connector. The mains plug has to be installed
prior to connecting any signals. It is prohibited to separate the
safety ground connection. If suspected that safe operation may
not be guaranteed do not use the instrument any more and lock
it away in a secure place.
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. insufficient packing not
conforming to the minimum standards of post, rail or trans-
port firm)
1.4 Correct operation
Please note:
This instrument is only destined for use by perso
-
nnel 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.
The oscilloscope is destined for operation in industrial, business,
manufacturing, and domestic sites.
The instrument is destined for in door use only.
1.5 Ambient conditions
Operating ambient temperature: +5 °C to +40 °C. During trans
-
port or storage the temperature may be –20 °C to +70°C. Please
note that after exposure to such temperatures or in case of
condensation, proper time must be allowed until the instrument
has reached the permissible temperature, and until the con-
densation has evaporated before it may be turned on! Ordinarily
this will be the case after 2 hours. The oscilloscope is destined
for use in clean and dry environments. Do not operate in dusty
or chemically aggressive atmosphere or if there is danger of
explosion. The any operating position may be used, however,
sufficient ventilation must be ensured. Prolonged operation
requires the horizontal or inclined position.
Do not obstruct the ventilation holes!
The max. operating altitude of the instrument is 2000 m above
sea level.
Specifications are valid after a 30 minute warm-up
period at 23
degr. C (tolerance ±2 degr. C). Specifications without tolerances
are average values.
1.6 Warranty and repair
Our instruments are subjected to a strict quality control.
Prior to leaving the factory, each instrument is burnt in for 10
hours. By intermittent operation during this period almost all
defects are detected. Following the burn in, each instrument is
tested for function and quality, the specifications are checked
in all operating modes; the test gear is calibrated to national
standards.
The warranty standards applicable are those of the country
in which the instrument was sold. Reclamations should be
directed to the dealer.
