Safety Requirement

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.

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.

Connect the Probe Correctly.

Do not connect the ground lead to high voltage since it has the isobaric electric

potential as ground.

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.

III

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.

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.

Handling Safety.

Please handle with care during transportation to avoid damages to buttons, knob

interfaces and other parts on the panels.

Measurement Category

DS1000Z series digital oscilloscopes can make measurements in Measurement

Category I.

WARNING

This oscilloscope can only be used for measurements within its specified

measurement categories.

Measurement Category Definitions

Measurement category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly

connected to MAINS. Examples are measurements on circuits not derived from

MAINS, and specially protected (internal) MAINS derived circuits. In the latter case,

transient stresses are variable; for that reason, the transient withstand capability of

the equipment is made known to the user.

Measurement category II is for measurements performed on circuits directly

connected to the low voltage installation. Examples are measurements on household

appliances, portable tools and similar equipment.

Measurement category III is for measurements performed in the building installation.

Examples are measurements on distribution boards, circuit-breakers, wiring,

including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, socket-outlets in the fixed

installation, and equipment for industrial use and some other equipment, for

example. Stationary motors with permanent connection to the fixed installation.

Measurement category IV is for measurements performed at the source of the

low-voltage installation. Examples are electricity meters and measurements on

primary overcurrent protection devices and ripple control units.

Ventilation Requirement

This oscilloscope uses fan to force cooling. Please make sure that the air intake and

exhaust areas are free from obstructions and have free air. When using the

oscilloscope in a bench-top or rack setting, provide at least 10 cm clearance beside,

above and behind the instrument for adequate ventilation.

WARNING

Inadequate ventilation may cause temperature increase which would

damage the instrument. So please keep the instrument well ventilated

during operation and inspect the intake and fan regularly.

Working Environment

Temperature

Operating: 0℃to +50℃

Non-operating: -40℃to +70℃

Humidity

0℃to +30℃：≤95％relative humidity

+30℃to +40℃：≤75％relative humidity

+40℃to +50℃：≤45％relative humility

WARNING

o avoid short circuit inside the instrument or electric shock, please do not

operate in humid environment.

Altitude

Operating: less than 3 km

Non-operating: less than 15 km

Installation (overvoltage) Category

This product is powered by mains conforming to installation (overvoltage) category

II.

WARNING

Make sure that no overvoltage (such as that caused by thunderbolt) can

reach the product, or else the operator might expose to danger of electric

shock.

Installation (overvoltage) Category Definitions

Installation (overvoltage) category I refers to signal level which is applicable to

equipment measurement terminals connected to the source circuit. In these

terminals, precautions are done to limit the transient voltage to the corresponding

low level.

Installation (overvoltage) category II refers to the local power distribution level

which is applicable to equipment connected to the AC line (AC power).

VIII

Pollution Degree

Degree 2

Pollution Degree Definitions

Pollution degree 1: No pollution or only dry, non-conductive pollution occurs. The

pollution has no influence. For example: a clean room or air-conditioned office

environment.

Pollution degree 2: Normally only dry, non-conductive pollution occurs. Occasionally

a temporary conductivity caused by condensation may occur. For example: general

indoor environment.

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

occurs which becomes conductive due to condensation which is expected. For

example: Sheltered outdoor environment.

Pollution degree 4: Pollution that generates persistent conductivity through

conductive dust, rain, or snow. For example: outdoor locations.
