To Power On the Instrument

After the instrument is connected to the power source, press the Power key

the left bottom of the front panel to power on the instrument. When the instrument

is turned on, it will undergo a self-test. If the instrument passes the self-test, the

welcome interface is displayed; otherwise, self-test failure information will be

displayed. At this time, please contact

RIGOL

distributors.

CAUTION

Ensure that the AC selector setting on the rear panel of the instrument

matches the actual AC input voltage, otherwise, the electronic load will

be burned out.

CAUTION

After starting the instrument, please connect the cable properly, and

then enable the input of the electronic load. Otherwise, the instrument

or the device under test (DUT) will be damaged.

CAUTION

Please pay attention to the positive and negative polarities of the

electronic load to avoid wrong connection. Otherwise, the load will be

burned out.

Tip

After powering off the electronic load, please wait for at least 1 s before you power

it on again.
