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 to maintain the

oscilloscope in a safe condition.

GROUND THE INSTRUMENT

To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cabinet

must be connected to an electrical ground. This instrument is

grounded through the ground conductor of the supplied,

three-conductor ac power cable. The power cable must be

plugged into an approved three-conductor electrical outlet. Do

not alter the ground connection. Without the protective ground

connection, all accessible conductive parts (including control

knobs) can render an electric shock. The power jack and

mating plug of the power cable must meet IEC safety standards.

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 SERVICE OR ADJUST ALONE

Do not attempt any internal service or adjustment unless another

person, capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation, is

present.

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.

CAUTION:

Before connecting the line cord to the AC mains,

check the rear panel AC line voltage indicator.

Applying a line voltage other than the indicated

acceptable

voltage can destroy the instrument.

CAUTION:

This product uses components which can be

damaged by electro

static discharge (ESD). To

avoid damage, be sure to follow proper procedures

for handling, storing and transporting parts and

subassemblies which contain ESD

sensitive

components.
