Denition of Measurement Categories (CAT)
CAT IV: Corresponds to measurements performed at the primary electrical
supply (< 1000 V).
Example: primary overcurrent protection devices, ripple control units,
and meters.
CAT III: Corresponds to measurements performed in the building installation
at the distribution level.
Example: hardwired equipment in xed installation and circuit
breakers.
CAT II: Corresponds to measurements performed on circuits directly
connected to the electrical distribution system.
Example: measurements on household appliances and portable tools.

Precautions For Use
The operator and/or the responsible authority must carefully read and
completely understand the precautions before use. If you use this instrument
in an unspecied manner, the protection it ensures can be compromised, thus
putting you in danger.
■This instrument is designed for use:
indoors
in a level 2 pollution environment
at an altitude below 2000 m
at a temperature between 0 °C and 40 °C
with a relative humidity of less than 80 % up to 35 °C
■The safety of all systems, including the instrument, is the responsibility of the
operator.
■It can be used for measurements on 600 V CAT III circuits, relative to the
ground/earth.
■Before each use, check the condition of the insulation on the cables, boxes,
sensors and accessories. Any element on which the insulation is damaged
(even partially) must be taken out of service for repair or disposal.
■Respect the environmental and storage conditions.
■The external power supply must be connected to the instrument and to the
network (98 to 264) VAC.
■The power supply to the instrument is tted with an automatically resettable
electrical protection after disappearance of the fault.
■As a safety measure, only use factory supplied parts and accessories.
■It is advised to use individual safety protection whenever the environmental
situation in which the instrument is used requires protection.
■When handling the sensors or test probes, do not place your ngers beyond
the physical guard.
■If the battery housing cover is absent, damaged or incorrectly positioned, the
instrument must not be used other than to adjust the sensors.

Power Supply
The oscilloscope is supplied with one external power supply and set of
(6) 1.2 V NiMH rechargeable batteries 2700 mA·h.
When the supplied wall plug is connected from the instrument to an external
power source, battery power is not needed. The batteries are only used when
there is no external power supply available.
Before the rst use, start by fully charging the battery.
NOTE: The batteries automatically begin charging when the
Oscilloscope is powered o󰀨, but connected to an external power supply.
When the batteries are charging, the Battery Charge LED on the front panel will
turn on steady.
The LED will blink in the following situations:
pre-charge of very low batteries
temperature is too low or too high
batteries are damaged
When the charge is complete, the LED will turn o󰀨.
If the batteries need to be replaced, they must be replaced with NiMH
rechargeable batteries. Battery charge life is guaranteed for same-capacity
batteries (in mA·h) as those shipped with the oscilloscope.
To remove the battery cover, use a coin to turn the slot on the back of the unit
counter-clockwise.
Description
The Handscope Oscilloscope Model OX 5022B combines three instruments into
one:
20 MHz oscilloscope
Independent 8000 ct multimeter with power measurements
Built-in harmonic analyzer out to the 31st harmonic (fundamental between
20 Hz and 450 Hz)
The instrument operates at a constant acquisition depth of 2500 points.
An LCD TFT screen is used to view the applied signals along with all the setting
parameters.
The main command functions are accessible using the buttons on the front
panel.
A graphic interface is used to:
adjust the parameters related to the selected button
navigate using a horizontal main menu showing the current settings and
vertical sub-menus

Channel Isolation
The two oscilloscope input channels are isolated from each other and from
the ground/earth and the main power supply block. This isolation is provided
by double or reinforced insulation, in compliance with the safety standards
IEC 61010-1 and IEC 61010-2-030.
This makes it possible to make measurements on installations or systems
connected to the electricity supply network for voltages of up to 600 V in
CAT III. The common mode authorized between the two channels is
600 V in CAT III. Thus the operator, the test systems and the environment
are completely protected at all times.
Any voltage (even dangerous) on one channel will not be present on the other
channel. The low points of the inputs are completely insulated, so there is
no possibility of the low points looping (which can be dangerous and highly
destructive).
NOTE: The use of accessories with a voltage and/or category lower
than 600 V CAT III reduces the operating range to the lower voltages
and/or categories.
The oscilloscope is rated 600 V CAT III; at least 600 V CAT III
accessories must be used.
