using your oscilloscope for the first time. If you use the oscilloscope in a manner
contrary to these instructions, safety protection built in to the equipment may cease
to function. This could cause damage to your computer or other equipment, or lead to
injury to yourself and others.
Maximum input range
The
PicoScope 3425 PC Oscilloscope is designed to measure voltages in the range
stated in the
table. The oscilloscope can withstand the Overvoltage
stated in the
table, and operation with voltages exceeding this range
may cause physical damage.
Mains voltages and measurement category
The PicoScope 3425 PC Oscilloscope is designed only for CAT I measurements as
defined by BS EN61010-1:2001, which permits measurements on circuits that are
not directly connected to the mains (line power). The oscilloscope is not designed for
measurements on CAT II, III or IV circuits.
The PicoScope 3425 PC Oscilloscope must not be directly
connected to the mains (line power).
Failure to heed this warning may lead to injury or death.
Safety grounding
The PicoScope 3425 PC Oscilloscope connects directly to the ground of a computer
through the USB cable provided. This connection is intended only to minimise
interference, and therefore you must not rely on it as a protective safety ground.
on the front panel to any source other than
ground. If in doubt, use a meter to check that there is no significant AC or DC
voltage between the oscilloscope's ground socket and point to which you intend to
connect it. Failure to check may cause damage to your computer, or injury to
yourself and others.

The oscilloscope contains no user-serviceable parts. Repair or calibration of the
oscilloscope requires specialised test equipment and must only be performed by Pico
