Important hints

Immediately after unpacking check the instrument for any mechanical
damage and loose parts inside. In case of transport damage inform the
supplier. Do not operate the instrument.

Placement of the instrument

STOP
The pictures show how to move the handle into various positions.
A: Carrying position
B: Position for horizontal carrying resp. for removing the handle
C: Horizontal operating position
D and E: Operating positions with different angles
F: Position for removing the handle
T: Position for transport in its shipping carton, the handle will not
lock in this position
In order to change the position of the handle, the scope
must fi rst be fi rmly positioned e.g. on a table so that it
cannot drop. Pull both knobs of the handle and move it
to the desired position. If the knobs are released while
STOP
moving, the handle will automatically lock in the next
possible position.

Removing/mounting the handle

Removing is possible in positions B and F by pulling it out farther,
mounting by doing the reverse.

Safety

This instrument was manufactured and tested according to VDE 0411,
part 1, safety norms for electrical measuring, control and laboratory
instruments. The instrument left the factory in perfectly safe condi-
tion. It fulfi lls hence also the European norm EN 61010-1 resp. the
international norm IEC 1010-1. The user is requested to observe all
safety notes in this manual in order to preserve this safe condition and
guarantee safe operation. Housing, chassis and measuring signal inputs
are connected to the mains safety earth conductor. The instrument
fulfi lls the requirements of safety class I. All metal parts which can
be touched were tested with 2200 V
For safety reasons the oscilloscope may only be connected to outlets
with safety earth conductor. The mains plug must be inserted fi rst
before any signals are connected to the instrument. It is prohibited to
disconnect the safety earth.
Most electron tubes generate gamma rays. With this instrument the
dose remains far below the limit of 36 pA/kg, set by the applicable
laws.
Whenever it must be assumed that safe operation is endangered, the
instrument must be disconnected and stored in a safe place where
inadvertent use is precluded. This assumption is always valid
– if the instrument shows signs of damage
– if the instrument contains loose parts

Proper operation

Please note: This instrument is only destined for use by personnel well
instructed and familiar with the dangers of electrical measurements.
For safety reasons the oscilloscope may only be operated from mains
outlets with safety ground connector. It is prohibited to separate the
safety ground connection. The plug must be inserted prior to connecting
any signals.

CAT I

This oscilloscope is destined for measurements in circuits which are not
or not directly connected to the mains. Direct measurements (without
galvanic isolation) in circuits of the categories II, II or IV are prohibited!
