SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This chapter contains important safety

instructions that you must follow during

operation and storage. Read the following before

any operation to insure your safety and to keep

the instrument in the best possible condition.

Safety Symbols

These safety symbols may appear in this manual or on the Product

name.

WARNING

Warning: Identifies conditions or practices that

could result in injury or loss of life.

CAUTION

Caution: Identifies conditions or practices that

could result in damage to the equipment or to

other properties.

DANGER High Voltage

(Note)

Attention required

Refer to the Manual

Protective Conductor Terminal

Earth (ground) Terminal

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not dispose electronic equipment as unsorted

municipal waste. Please use a separate collection

facility or contact the supplier from which this

instrument was purchased.

Safety Guidelines

General Guideline

WARNING

CAUTION

Make sure the BNC input voltage does not

exceed 300Vrms.

Never connect a hazardous live voltage to the

ground side of the BNC connectors. It might

lead to fire and electric shock.

Do not place any heavy object on the MDO-

2000EG/2000EX.

Avoid severe impact or rough handling that

leads to damaging the MDO-2000EG/2000EX.

Do not discharge static electricity to the MDO-

2000EG/2000EX.

Use only mating connectors, not bare wires, for

the terminals.

Do not block the cooling fan opening.

Do not perform measurement at a power source

or building installation (Note below).

Do not disassemble the MDO-2000EG/2000EX

unless you are qualified.

Note

(Measurement categories) EN 61010-1:2010 specifies the

measurement categories and their requirements as follows. The

MDO-2000EG/2000EX falls under category I.

Measurement category IV is for measurements performed at the

source of low-voltage installation.

Measurement category III is for measurements performed in the

building installation.

Measurement category II is for measurements performed on

circuits directly connected to the low voltage installation.

Measurement category I is for measurement performed on

circuits not directly connected to Mains.

Power Supply

WARNING

AC Input voltage: 100 - 240V AC, 50 - 60Hz,

auto selection. Power consumption: 40W for

MDO-2000EG; 50W for MDO-2000EX.

Connect the protective grounding conductor of

the AC power cord to an earth ground, to avoid

electrical shock.

Cleaning the

MDO-

2000EG/2000EX

Disconnect the power cord before cleaning.

Use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild

detergent and water. Do not spray any liquid.

Do not use chemicals containing harsh materials

such as benzene, toluene, xylene and acetone.

Operation

Environment

Location: Indoor, no direct sunlight, dust free,

almost non-conductive pollution (Note below)

Relative Humidity: ≤80%, 40°C or below; ≤45%,

41°C ~ 50°C

Altitude: < 2000m

Temperature: 0°C to 50°C

Note

(Pollution Degree) EN 61010-1:2010 specifies the pollution degrees

and their requirements as follows. The MDO-2000EG/2000EX falls

under degree 2.

Pollution refers to “addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid, or

gaseous (ionized gases), that may produce a reduction of dielectric

strength or surface resistivity”.

Pollution degree 1: No pollution or only dry, non-conductive

pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence.

Pollution degree 2: Normally only non-conductive pollution

occurs. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused

by condensation must be expected.

Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, non-

conductive pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to

condensation which is expected. In such conditions, equipment

is normally protected against exposure to direct sunlight,

precipitation, and full wind pressure, but neither temperature

nor humidity is controlled.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Storage

environment

Location: Indoor

Temperature: -10°C to 60°C

Humidity: Up to 93% RH (non-condensing) /

≤40ºC, up to 65% RH (non-condensing) / 41ºC

~ 60 ºC

Disposal

Do not dispose this instrument as unsorted

municipal waste. Please use a separate collection

facility or contact the supplier from which this

instrument was purchased. Please make sure

discarded electrical waste is properly recycled to

reduce environmental impact.

Power cord for the United Kingdom

When using the oscilloscope in the United Kingdom, make sure the

power cord meets the following safety instructions.

NOTE: This lead/appliance must only be wired by competent persons

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

IMPORTANT: The wires in this lead are coloured in accordance with the

following code:

Green/ Yellow:

Earth

Blue:

Neutral

Brown:

Live (Phase)

As the colours of the wires in main leads may not correspond with

the coloured marking identified in your plug/appliance, proceed

as follows:

The wire which is coloured Green & Yellow must be connected to

the Earth terminal marked with either the letter E, the earth symbol

or coloured Green/Green & Yellow.

The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal

which is marked with the letter N or coloured Blue or Black.

The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the

terminal marked with the letter L or P or coloured Brown or Red.

If in doubt, consult the instructions provided with the equipment

or contact the supplier.

This cable/appliance should be protected by a suitably rated and

approved HBC mains fuse: refer to the rating information on the

equipment and/or user instructions for details. As a guide, a cable

of 0.75mm2should be protected by a 3A or 5A fuse. Larger

conductors would normally require 13A types, depending on the

connection method used.

Any exposed wiring from a cable, plug or connection that is

engaged in a live socket is extremely hazardous. If a cable or plug is

deemed hazardous, turn off the mains power and remove the cable,

any fuses and fuse assemblies. All hazardous wiring must be

immediately destroyed and replaced in accordance to the above

standard.
