Operational Environment
Temperature:
5° to 40° C
Humidity:
Maximum relative humidity 90% for temperatures up to
31° C decreasing linearly to 50% relative humidity at 40° C
Altitudes:
up to 3,000 m (at < 30° C)
Power and Grounding
The instrument operates from a single-phase, 100 to 240 Vrms (± 10%)
AC power source at 50/60 Hz (± 5%) or a 100 to 120 Vrms (± 10%) AC
power source at 400 Hz (± 5%). The instrument automatically adapts to
the line voltage. Manual voltage selection is not required.
The AC inlet ground is connected directly to the frame of the instrument.
For adequate protection against electric shock, connect to a mating outlet
with a safety ground contact.
WARNING.
Interrupting the protective conductor inside or outside
the oscilloscope, or disconnecting the safety ground terminal,
creates a hazardous situation. Intentional interruption is prohibited.
Maximum power consumption with all accessories installed (e.g., active
probes, USB peripherals, Mixed-Signal input device) is: 375 W.
Power consumption in Standby mode is 15 W.
Cleaning
Clean only the exterior of the oscilloscope using a damp, soft cloth. Do
not use harsh chemicals or abrasive elements. Under no circumstances
submerge the instrument or allow moisture to penetrate it. Avoid electric
shock by unplugging the power cord from the AC outlet before cleaning.
CAUTION.
Do not attempt to clean internal parts.
Calibration
The oscilloscope is calibrated at the factory prior to shipment. Schedule
an annual factory calibration as part of your routine maintenance.
WaveSurfer510 incorporates automatic calibration routines to maintain
accuracy in between factory calibrations. Go to
Utilities > Preference
Setup > Calibration
to select the method used:
Stored Calibration
uses cached calibration files to recalibrate the
instrument at start-up. As long as the oscilloscope is used at or near
sea level within a temperature range of 19-30 °C, this calibration routine
should be sufficient to maintain specified performance. The instrument
will dynamically recalibrate if the temperature goes outside of the
stored calibration range. If you know you will be operating outside this
temperature range, do a Calibrate All to minimize recalibration.
Dynamic Calibration
recalibrates the oscilloscope at start-up and every
time there is a change to any of the acquisition settings that directly
affect the performance of the ADCs. When one setup is calibrated at a
particular ambient temperature, the calibration is entered in a calibration
table and reused for the duration of the session. These calibration entries
persist only for a single session; Dynamic Calibration restarts when the
instrument is restarted or you change the principal acquisition settings.
