General Safety Summary

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.

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.

Do Not Operate Without Covers.

Do not operate the instrument with covers or panels removed.

Avoid Circuit or Wire Exposure.

Do not touch exposed 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.

RP1003C/RP1004C/RP1005C User’s Guide III

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.

Precautions

To avoid short circuits and potentially life-threatening hazards,

never connect the current probe to a circuit that operates at

greater than the maximum rated voltage or over bare conductors.

When conductors being measured carry in excess of the safe

voltage level and not more than the maximum rated voltage, to

prevent short circuits and electric shock while the core section is

open, make sure that conductors to be measured are insulated

with material conforming to the requirements of measurement

category, working voltage and pollution degree.

Isolate the output terminal of the probe from other terminals on

the measuring instrument using basic insulation conforming to the

requirements of measurement category, working voltage and

pollution degree.

The core and shield case of the current sensor are not insulated.

Please do not use the current sensor on bare conductors.

Be careful to avoid damaging the insulation surface while taking

measurements.

Please use the power supply provided with this product or other

power supply conforming to the specifications of this product.

Make sure that the power supply has a protective earthing with

double-insulation construction.

Make sure that the measuring instrument connected to the output

terminal of the current probe is equipped with a protective

earthing with double-insulation construction.

VI RP1003C/RP1004C/RP1005C User’s Guide

If the measuring instrument connected to the output terminal

(BNC) of the current probe is equipped with any other

measurement terminals, take the following precautions to ensure

that the other instrument does not form a bridge between the

probe and any hazardous live of a part.

a) Isolate the terminal of the probe from other terminals on the

measuring instrument using basic insulation conforming to

the requirements of measurement category, working voltage

and pollution degree.

b) If basic insulation requirement cannot be met between the

terminal to which the current probe is connected and other

terminals on the measuring instrument, make sure that the

voltage input to the measurement terminal does not exceed

the safe voltage level.

When using a measuring instrument that does not provide

isolation between its input terminals and chassis or other input

terminals, please do not connect the ground terminal to any

non-ground potential. Otherwise, short-circuit current will flow

through the power adaptor or current probe from the ground

terminal, which could cause an electrical accident or damage.

RP1003C/RP1004C/RP1005C User’s Guide VII

RP1005C:

To avoid electric shock, do not allow the device get wet and

do not take measurement with wet hands.

To avoid electric shock when measuring live lines, wear

appropriate protective gear, such as insulated gloves, boots

and a safety helmet.

The device is not designed to be entirely water-proof or

dust-proof. To avoid damage, do not use it in a wet or dusty

environment.

The current sensor is a precision assembly including a molded

component, a ferrite core and a Hall effect element. It may be

damaged if subjected to sudden changes in ambient

temperature, or mechanical strain or shock.

The mating surfaces of the current sensor are precisely

ground and should be treated with care. If these surfaces are

scratched, the performance may be impaired.

Measurements are degraded by dirt on the mating surfaces

of the current sensor, so keep the surfaces clean by gently

wiping with a soft cloth.

To avoid damaging the current probe cable, do not bend or

pull the cable.

Keep the current sensor closed, except when clamping it

onto the conductor to be measured. The mating surface of

the core can be scratched when it is open.

Avoid stepping on or pinching the cable, which could damage

RIGOL

VIII RP1003C/RP1004C/RP1005C User’s Guide

the cable insulation.

Keep the cables well away from heat sources, as bare

conductors could be exposed if the insulation melts.

Correct measurement may be impossible in the presence of

strong magnetic fields, such as near transformers and

high-current conductors, or in the presence of strong

electromagnetic fields such as near radio transmitters.

Do not store or use the device where it could be exposed to

direct sunlight, high temperature, humidity or condensation.

Under such conditions, the device might be damaged and

insulation may deteriorate so that it no longer meets

specifications.
