Operating Overview - Tektronix AFG3000C Serie Bedienungsanleitung

Pollution degree description
A measure of the contaminants that could occur in the
environment around and within a product. Typically the
internal environment inside a product is considered to be the
same as the external. Products should be used only in the
environment for which they are rated.
Pollution Degree 1. No pollution or only dry,
nonconductive pollution occurs. Products in this category
are generally encapsulated, hermetically sealed, or located
in clean rooms.
Pollution Degree 2. Normally only dry, nonconductive
pollution occurs. Occasionally a temporary conductivity
that is caused by condensation must be expected. This
location is a typical office/home environment. Temporary
condensation occurs only when the product is out of
service.
Pollution Degree 3. Conductive pollution, or dry,
nonconductive pollution that becomes conductive due
to condensation. These are sheltered locations where
neither temperature nor humidity is controlled. The area is
protected from direct sunshine, rain, or direct wind.
Pollution Degree 4. Pollution that generates persistent
conductivity through conductive dust, rain, or snow.
Typical outdoor locations.
Pollution degree rating
Pollution Degree 2 (as defined in IEC 61010-1). Rated for
indoor, dry location use only.
IP rating
IP20 (as defined in IEC 60529).
Measurement and overvoltage category descriptions
Measurement terminals on this product may be rated for
measuring mains voltages from one or more of the following
categories (see specific ratings marked on the product and in
the manual).
Category II. Circuits directly connected to the building
wiring at utilization
points (socket outlets and similar points).
Category III. In the building wiring and distribution
system.
Category IV. At the source of the electrical supply to the
building.
NOTE. Only mains power supply circuits have an overvoltage
category rating. Only measurement circuits have a
measurement category rating. Other circuits within the product
do not have either rating.
Mains overvoltage category rating
Overvoltage Category II (as defined in IEC 61010-1).

Operating overview

This document contains information for the following
AFG3000C Series Arbitrary Function Generator products.
Refer to the Quick Start User Manual and Specifications and
Performance Verification Technical Reference for complete
operating information and product specifications.
AFG3011C, AFG3021C, AFG3101C, AFG3102C, AFG3022C,
AFG3051C, AFG3052C, AFG3251C, AFG3252C
Power source
This generator operates from a single-phase power source with
the neutral conductor at or near earth ground. It is intended for
only ground-referenced measurements. A protective ground
connection through the grounding conductor in the power cord
is essential for safe operation.
Power the unit on by connecting the supplied power cord to the
rear-panel power connector (1). Push the power button (2) on

the front of the instrument to turn it on. To power the unit off,
push the power button on the front of the instrument again. To
remove power completely, disconnect the power cord from the
rear-panel of the instrument.
WARNING.
To reduce the risk of fire and shock, ensure that
the mains supply voltage fluctuations do not exceed 10% of
the operating voltage range.
