Item no. 12 24 82 MSO-5102B / 100 MHz

INTENDED USE

The digital oscilloscope is intended to be used for visualising electrical magnitudes and
signals. For measurement, there are 2 mutually independent input channels for analogue
signals and 16 channels for digital signals. The probes are connected to the oscilloscope via
BNC connectors; the digital input takes place over one 25pin sub-D socket.
2 probes and one 16-channel adapter cable are attached.
The measured signals can be stored and displayed on the monitor as a reference. The oscil-
loscope can be connected to a computer for evaluation and control via a USB interface.
The control is performed via VDU-based menus.
The maximum measuring voltage (300 VRMS (eff.)) indicated on the device must never be
exceeded. Use divider probes if necessary.
The device should be connected to and operated with an earthed socket (safety socket) of
the public AC power supply only.
Any use other than that described above may damage the product. Moreover, this may give
rise to hazards such as short-circuiting, fi re, electric shock, etc.
No part of the product may be modifi ed or rebuilt, and the housing must not be opened.
Do not measure in damp rooms or outdoors, nor under adverse environmental conditions.
Unfavourable ambient conditions are:
- Wetness or high humidity,
- Dust and combustible gases, vapours or solvents,
- Thunderstorms or similar conditions such as strong electrostatic fi elds, etc.
Always observe the safety notes included in these operating instructions.
This quick guide explains the safety measures that should be taken to make working with the
device as safe as possible. The individual functions of the device are described in more detail
in the enclosed operating manual in English. This manual is available in the attached CD in
the main directory. A Help menu is integrated additionally in the oscilloscope ("HELP" button).
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND HAZARD WARNINGS
Please read all the instructions before using this device; they contain impor-
tant information on its correct operation.
The warranty will be void in the event of damage caused by failure to observe these safety
instructions! We do not assume any liability for any consequential damage!
We shall not accept liability for damage to property or personal injury caused by incorrect
handling or non-compliance with the safety instructions! Any warranty will be void in such
cases.
The unauthorised conversion and/or modifi cation of the product is not allowed for safety and
approval reasons (CE).
The design of the product complies with the safety class 1. Use only a grounded mains
socket (100 - 240 V~) of the public power supply to power the unit.
Measuring devices and devices connected to the power supply should be kept out of reach of
children. Therefore, be especially careful when children are around.
First, connect the BNC output of the measurement cable to the oscilloscope; then connect the
probe to the electric circuit to be measured. After measuring, please disconnect the measur-
ing contacts from the measurement circuit fi rst before disconnecting the BNC output of the
probe from the oscilloscope.
Be especially careful when dealing with voltages higher than 50 V AC or 75 V DC! Even at
such voltages you can receive a life-threatening electric shock if you come into contact with
live electric wires.
Check the measuring device and its measuring leads for any damage before each measure-
ment. Never make any measurements if the protecting insulation is defective (torn, missing etc.).
To avoid electric shock, do not to touch the connections/measuring points directly or indirectly
during measurements.
Never reach beyond the grip surface of the probes during a measurement process. There is a
risk of a fatal electric shock.
Do not use the device shortly before, during or after a thunderstorm (lightning! high-energy
surges!). Please make sure that your hands, shoes, clothing, the fl oor, the measuring instru-
ment and the measuring cables, switches and switching parts, etc., are absolutely dry.
Do not use the device in rooms or under unfavourable ambient conditions in which there may
or could be combustible gases, vapours or dust.
Do not use near:
- Strong magnetic or electromagnetic fi elds
®
- Transmitting antennas or HF generators.
- These can affect the measurement.
Use only measurement lines and accessories for the measurement that match the specifi ca-
Version 01/13
tions of the oscilloscope.
If a safe operation can no longer be assumed, the device has to be put out of operation and
secured against unintended operation. Safe operation can no longer be assumed, if:
- the device is visibly damaged,
- the device does not function any longer and
- the device was stored under unfavourable conditions for a long period of time or
- Following considerable stress during transportation.
Never switch the device on immediately after having taken it from a cold to a warm environ-
ment. The condensation that forms might destroy your device. Allow the device to reach room
temperature before switching it on.
Never dismantle the product! There is a risk of a fatal electric shock!
Do not carelessly leave the packaging material lying around, since it could become a danger-
ous plaything for children.
The device is only intended for dry interior rooms (not bathrooms or similar damp rooms). The
device must not get wet or damp. There is a risk of a fatal electric shock!
On industrial sites, the accident prevention regulations of the association of the industrial
workers' society for electrical equipment and utilities must be followed.
Measurement instruments used at schools, training facilities, do-it-yourself and hobby work-
shops should not be handled unless supervised by trained, responsible personnel.
If you have doubts about how the equipment should be operated or how to connect it safely,
consult a trained technician.
Handle the product with care. It can be damaged through impact, blows, or accidental drops,
even from a low height.
Please also note the enclosed detailed operating instructions.
This device left the manufacturer's factory in a safe and perfect condition.
We kindly request the user to observe the safety instructions and warnings contained in the
enclosed operating instructions so this condition is maintained and to ensure safe operation.
Please pay attention to the following symbols:
A triangle containing an exclamation mark indicates important information in these
operating instructions, which is to be observed without fail.
A lightning symbol in a triangle warns against an electric shock or impairment of the
electrical safety of the device.
The "arrow" symbol indicates where special tips and notes on operation are pro-
vided.
This product is CE-compliant and therefore meets the necessary European guide-
lines.
CAT I Surge category I for measurements on signal and control voltages without powerful
discharges.
CAT II Surge category II for measurements on electric devices connected to the mains
supply by a power plug. This category also covers all smaller categories (e.g. CAT I
for measuring signal and control voltages).
Protective conductor, safety class 1. This screw/connector must not be loosened.
