Only valid in EU countries
In order to speed claims, customers in EU countries may also
contact HAMEG directly. Also, after the warranty expired, the
HAMEG service will be at your disposal for any repairs.
Return material authorization (RMA):
Prior to returning an instrument to HAMEG, ask for a RMA
number either by internet (http://www.hameg.com) or fax
(+49 (0) 6182 800 501). If you do not have an original shipping
carton, you may obtain one by calling the HAMEG service
dept (+49 (0) 6182 800 500) or by sending an email to service@
hameg.com.
1.7 Maintenance
Clean the outer case using a dust brush or a soft,
lint-free dust cloth at regular intervals.
Before cleaning please make sure the instrument
is switched off and disconnected from all power
supplies.
No part of the instrument should be cleaned by the
use of cleaning agents (as f.e. alcohol) as they may
adversely affect the labeling, the plastic or lac-
quered surfaces.
The display can be cleaned using water or a glass cleaner (but
not with alcohol or other cleaning agents). Thereafter wipe the
surfaces with a dry cloth. No fluid may enter the instrument.
Do not use other cleaning agents as they may adversely affect
the labels, plastic or lacquered surfaces.
1.8 CAT 0
This oscilloscope is destined for measurements in circuits
not connected to the mains or only indirectly. The instrument
complies with measuring category I; make sure that the input
voltage does not exceed 200 V peak, 150 V RMS at 1 MΩ input
impedance and 5 V
RMS at 50 Ω input impedance. Transient
overvoltages must not exceed 200 V peak. When performing
measurements in circuits with transient overvoltages higher
than category I, make sure that no such overvoltages reach the
instrument input. To ensure this, use only probes that comply
with DIN EN 61010-031. When performing measurements in
category II, III or IV circuits, it is mandatory to insert a probe
that appropriately reduces the voltage so that no overvoltages
higher than category I are applied to the instrument.
Direct measurements, i.e. with a galvanic connection to cir-
cuits corresponding to the categories II, III, or IV are prohibi-
ted! The measuring circuits are considered not connected to
the mains if a suitable isolation transformer fulfilling safety
class II is used. Measurements on the mains are also possible
if suitable probes like current probes are used which fulfill
the safety class II. The measurement category of such probes
must be checked and observed. The measurement categories
were derived corresponding to the distance from the power
station and the transients hence to be expected. Transients
are short, very fast voltage or current excursions which may
be periodic or not.
Measurement CAT IV
:
Measurements close to the power station, e.g. on electricity
meters
Measurement CAT III:
Measurements in the interior of buildings (power distribution
installations, mains outlets, motors which are permanently
installed).
Measurement CAT II:
Measurements in circuits directly connected to the mains
(household appliances, power tools etc).
Measurement CAT 0
(previously Measuring CAT I)
:
Electronic instruments and circuits which contain circuit brea
-
kers or fuses.
1.9 Mains voltage
The instrument has a wide range power supply from 100 to 240 V
(±10%), 50 or 60 Hz. There is hence no line voltage selector.
The line fuse is accessible on the rear panel and part of the
line input connector. Prior to exchanging a fuse, the line cord
must be pulled out. Exchange is only allowed if the fuse holder
is undamaged. It can be taken out using a screwdriver put into
the slot. The fuse can be pushed out of its holder and must be
exchanged with the identical type (type informations below).
The holder with the new fuse can then be pushed back in place
against the spring. It is prohibited to ”repair“ blown fuses or to
bridge the fuse. Any damages incurred by such measures will
void the warranty.
Type of fuse:
IEC 60127 - T2H 250V, Size 5 x 20 mm.
