USER MANUAL

Safety Summary

The following safety precautions apply to both operating and maintenance

personnel and must be observed during all phases of operation, service,

and repair of this instrument. Before applying power, follow the

installation instructions and become familiar with the operating

instructions for this instrument.

If this device is damaged or something is missing, contact the place of

purchase immediately.

This manual contains information and warnings that must be followed to

ensure safe operation as well as maintain the meter in a safe condition.

DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE

Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or

fumes. Operation of any electrical instrument in such an environment

constitutes a definite safety hazard.

KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS

Instrument covers must not be removed by operating personnel.

Component replacement and internal adjustments must be made by

qualified maintenance personnel. Disconnect the power cord before

removing the instrument covers and replacing components. Under certain

conditions, even with the power cable removed, dangerous voltages may

exist. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power and discharge circuits

before touching them.

DO NOT SUBSTITUTE PARTS OR MODIFY THE INSTRUMENT

Do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modifications

to this instrument. Return the instrument to B&K Precision for service and

repair to ensure that safety features are maintained.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

WARNING and CAUTION statements, such as the following examples,

denote a hazard and appear throughout this manual. Follow all

instructions contained in these statements.

A WARNING statement calls attention to an operating procedure, practice,

or condition, which, if not followed correctly, could result in injury or death

to personnel.

A CAUTION statement calls attention to an operating procedure, practice,

or condition, which, if not followed correctly, could result in damage to or

destruction of part or all of the product.

NOTE:

Voltage ratings are given as “working voltage”. They

should be read as Vac-rms (50 –60 Hz) for AC sine

wave applications and as Vdc for DC applications.

WARNING

Do not connect the scope probes and DMM leads simultaneously.

Before using the DMM functions, disconnect all scope probes. Likewise,

disconnect all DMM test leads before using any scope functions.

When not in use, remove all scope probes, DMM test leads, and the USB

cable.

WARNING

To avoid potential fire or shock hazard:

Disconnect all probes, leads, power adapter, and USB cable before

opening the battery cover.

Do not turn on the instrument while the battery cover is removed.

Use only the included insulated probes, test leads, and power adapter

supplied with the instrument.

Use only the battery pack supplied with the instrument or approved by

us. Do not use other substitutes.

For AC power operation, always connect the adapter to the outlet first

before connecting to the instrument.

Observe all markings and ratings on the instrument before connecting

to the instrument.

While making measurements, verify that the performance ratings of

instruments and accessories that are used meet the correct safety levels

of the instrument.

Do not insert metal objects into any of the connectors.

WARNING

Do not use any exposed metal BNC or banana plug connectors with the

instrument. Use only the insulated accessories supplied with the

instrument.

Do not connect the USB cable while the instrument is not in use. Keep

the cable away from all probes and test leads.

Always connect the probes or test leads to the instrument first before

connecting to any other device under test (DUT). To remove,

disconnect them from the DUT first before disconnecting from the

instrument.

Do not operate the instrument in wet environments.

For high voltage testing, keep the BNC connectors and the entire

instrument dry.

Do not apply input voltages above the instrument and the probe’s

voltage rating.

CAUTION

Always cover the DC power input and USB ports on the side of the

instrument with the rubber lid when not in used.

Do not use any abrasive chemicals or volatile liquid when cleaning the

instrument. If using a cloth dampened with water, allow the instrument

to completely dry before reconnecting it.

Safety Symbols

Electrical Shock hazard.

Refer to the operating user manual for warning information to

avoid hazard or personal injury and prevent damage to

instrument.

This symbol shows that the switch is a power switch located at

the front panel. Pressing this button turns on the oscilloscope,

and holding it down for a few seconds turns off the

oscilloscope.

CATI

CATII

Category I overvoltage conditions.

Measurement instruments whose measurement inputs are

not intended to be connected to the mains supply. The

voltages in the environment are typically derived from a

limited-energy transformer or a battery.

Category II overvoltage conditions.

Measurement instruments whose measurement inputs are

meant to be connected to the mains supply at a standard wall

outlet or similar sources.

CATIII

Category III overvoltage conditions.

Measurement instruments whose measurement inputs are

meant to be connected to the mains installation of a building.
