Safety Notices

Review the following safety precautions carefully before operate the instrument to

avoid any personal injuries or damages to the instrument and any products

connected to it.

To avoid potential hazards use the instrument as specified by this user’s guide only.

The instrument should be serviced by qualified personnel only.

To Avoid Fire or Personal Injury.

Use Proper Power Cord. Use the power cord designed for the instrument and

authorized in your country only.

Ground The Instrument. The oscilloscope is grounded through the grounding

conductor of the power cord. To avoid electric shock the instrument grounding

conductor(s) must be grounded properly, before making connections to the input or

output terminals of the instrument.

Connect The Probe. The probes’ ground terminals are at the same voltage level of

the instrument ground. Do not connect the ground terminals to a high voltage.

Observe All Terminal Ratings. To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all ratings

and marks on the instrument. Follow the user’s guide for further ratings information

before making connections to the instrument.

Do Not Operate Without Covers. Do not operate the instrument with covers or

panels removed.

Use Proper Fuse. Use the fuse of the type, voltage and current ratings as specified

for the instrument.

Avoid Circuit or Wire Exposure. Do not touch exposed connections and

components when power is on.

Do Not Operate With Suspected Failures. If suspected damage occurs with the

instrument, have it inspected by qualified service personnel before further

operations.

Provide Proper Ventilation. Refer to the installation instructions for proper

ventilation of the instrument.

Do not operate in Wet/Damp Conditions.

User’s Guide for VS5000 Series

Do not operate in an Explosive Atmosphere.

Keep Product Surfaces Clean and Dry.

The disturbance test of all the models meet the limit values of A in the

standard of EN 61326: 1997+A1+A2+A3, but can’t meet the limit values

of B.

Measurement Category

The VS5000 series Digital Oscilloscope is intended to be used for measurements in

Measurement Category I.

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.

WARNING

IEC Measurement Category I. The HI and LO input terminals may be connected to

circuit terminal in IEC Category I installations for voltages up to 300 VAC. To avoid

the danger of electric shock, do not connect the inputs to circuit’s voltages above 300

VAC.

Transient overvoltage is also present on circuits that are isolated from mains. The

VS5000 series Digital Oscilloscopes is designed to safely withstand occasional

transient overvoltage up to 500 Vpk. Do not use this equipment to measure circuits

where transient overvoltage could exceed this level.
