Safety Notices

Please review the following

safety precautions carefully

before putting the instrument

into operation so as to avoid

any personal injuries or

damages to the instrument

and any product connected to

it. To prevent potential

hazards, please use the

instrument only specified by

this manual.

Use Proper Power Cord

Only the power cord designed

for the instrument and

authorized by local country

could be used.

Ground the Instrument

The instrument is grounded

through the Protective Earth

lead of the power cord. To

avoid electric shock, it is

essential to connect the earth

terminal of power cord to the

Protective Earth terminal

before any inputs or outputs.

Observe all Terminal

Ratings

To avoid fire or shock hazard,

observe all ratings and

markers on the instrument

and check your manual for

more information about

ratings before connecting.

Use Proper Overvoltage

Protection

Make sure that no

overvoltage (such as that

caused by a thunderstorm)

can reach the product, or else

the operator might expose to

danger of electrical shock.

Do Not Operate Without

Covers

Do not operate the

instrument with covers or

panels removed.

Use Proper Fuse

Please use the specified

fuses.

Avoid Circuit or Wire

Exposure

Do not touch exposed

RIGOL

III

junctions and components

when the unit is powered.

Do Not Operate With

Suspected Failures

If you suspect damage occurs

to the instrument, have it

inspected by qualified service

personnel before further

operations. Any maintenance,

adjustment or replacement

especially to circuits or

accessories must be

performed by RIGOL

authorized personnel.

Keep Well Ventilation

Inadequate ventilation may

cause increasing of

temperature or damages to

the device. So please keep

well ventilated and inspect

the intake and fan regularly.

Do Not Operate in Wet

Conditions

In order to avoid short

circuiting to the interior of the

device or electric shock,

please do not operate in a

humid environment.

Do Not Operate in an

Explosive Atmosphere

In order to avoid damages to

the device or personal

injuries, it is important to

operate the device away from

an explosive atmosphere.

Keep Product Surfaces

Clean and Dry

To avoid the influence of dust

and/or moisture in air, please

keep the surface of device

clean and dry.

Electrostatic Prevention

Operate in an electrostatic

discharge protective area

environment to avoid

damages induced by static

discharges. Always ground

both the internal and external

conductors of the cable to

release static before

connecting.

Protect the Input

Terminals of Instrument

Do not exert excessive

deformative physical and

mechanical stress on the

input terminals and the

connected devices, (such as

RIGOL

Quick Guide for DSA1000A Series

filter, attenuator, etc.) as such

stress may cause damages to

devices and the instrument.

Do not mix the use of 50Ω

and 75Ω connectors and/or

cables.

Do Not Overload the

Input

To avoid damaging the

instrument, make sure the

signals at input terminal must

be less than 50V DC voltage

components and 30 dBm (1W)

AC (RF) components.

Appropriate Use of Power

Meter

If you are not sure of the

characteristics of signal under

measure, follow these

recommendations to ensure

safe operations: if a RF power

meter is available, use it to

measure the power level of

this signal first; or add a

rated external attenuator

between signal cable and

input terminal of the

instrument. Maximum

attenuation, reference level

and maximum span

frequency should be selected,

so as to make the signals

displayed within the screen.

Know About the

Specification Conditions

of the Instrument

For maximum performance of

the instrument, use the

analyzer under specified

conditions.

Handling Safety

Please handle with care

during transportation to avoid

damages to buttons, knob,

interfaces and other parts on

the panels.
