 Before each use, check the condition of the insulation on the leads, housing, and accessories. Any item of which the insulation
is deteriorated (even partially) must be set aside for repair or scrapping.
 Before using your instrument, check that it is perfectly dry. If it is wet, it must be thoroughly dried before it can be connected or
used.
 Use only the leads and accessories supplied. The use of leads (or accessories) of a lower voltage or category limits the voltage
or category of the combined instrument and leads (or accessories) to that of the leads (or accessories).
 Use personal protection equipment systematically.
 When handling the leads, test probes, and crocodile clips, keep your fingers behind the physical guard.
 Any troubleshooting or metrological verification procedure must be carried out by accredited skilled personnel.
Thank you for purchasing this portable digital oscilloscope with channels isolated from each other and from earth.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTRUMENT
2.1. PRESENTATION
The particularity of these oscilloscopes is that they group 3 instruments in one:
a laboratory digital oscilloscope for the analysis of electronic and electrotechnical signals,
a 2-channel, 8000-count multimeter,
a harmonic analyser, for the simultaneous decomposition of 2 signals with their fundamental and their first 31 harmonics.
The instrument operates at a constant acquisition depth of 2,500 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 keys 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.
2.2. POWER SUPPLY
The oscilloscope is delivered with:
one mains to USB supply and one jack to USB cord with a ferrite
Voltage: 5 VDC
Power: 2 A
Polarity:
6 rechargeable  NiMH (1.2 V - LR6 or AA) accumaltor batteries.
When the external power supply is connected, this power source is preferred for the instrument's operation. Thus the accumulators
are only used when there is no external power supply.
Withtheexternalpowersupplyyoucanuseyouroscilloscopeevenifthebatteriesareflat,defectiveoreven
absent.
2.3. BATTERIES
A "battery empty" indicator appears on the screen when the accumulator-battery charge level is insufficient and
a new power source is needed quickly:
connect the external power supply or
change the batteries.
If the external power supplied is not connected when the level becomes critical, an alarm message "Battery level
is critical, the appliance is about to power off" precedes the automatic shutdown of the instrument.

8
2.3.1. CHARGE
The batteries are charged when the oscilloscope is powered off but connected to the external power supply.
During the fast charge of the batteries, the front-panel LED is on.
It flashes in the following situations:
pre-charge of very flat batteries
temperature too low or too high
batteries damaged.
The batteries must be replaced with rechargeable Ni-MH batteries. The life between charges will be the same as with the
batteries supplied with the oscilloscope if the replacement batteries have the same capacity (indicated in A·h).
The LED goes off when charging is complete.
If charging is interrupted before it is complete, the LED remains on for one minute to remind the user that the batteries are not
fully charged.
Itispossible,butnotrecommended,tousestandardalkalinebatteries(AAtype)toreplacetheaccumulators,
but in this case be careful:
not to connect the external power supply because when the instrument is switched off the charge mechanism is activated
which can lead to destruction of the batteries and damage to the instrument;
not to leave the batteries in the instrument for too long to avoid any problems caused by leakage from the batteries.
2.3.2. ACCESS
If necessary, the batteries(1) are accessible from the rear panel of the oscilloscope after turning the "quarter turn" (2) lock an-
ti-clockwise; use a coin (3):
2.4. CHANNEL INSULATION
The two oscilloscope input channels are insulated from each other and from the earth and the mains power supply block.
This insulation is double or reinforced 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 authorised 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).
The oscilloscope insulation is as shown in the diagram below:

9
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.
Your oscilloscope is rated 600 V CAT III; at least 600 V CAT III accessories must be used. The accessories shipped
with the instrument allow this .

2.6. ADVICE FOR USE OF THE SENSORS
2.6.1. CONNECTION OF THE REFERENCE CONDUCTORS TO THE SENSOR
Distribution of stray capacitors:
It is imperative, considering the stray capacitances, to correctly connect the reference conductors for each sensor. The conductors
should preferably be connected to the cold points to avoid the transmission of noise by the stray capacitance between modes.
External power supply
connector
Input Channel "B"
Input Channel "A"
Isolated optical connector

11
The noise of the digital ground (earth) is sent to the analogue input by the stray capacitance.
Reminder:Inordertopreventelectricshocksorpossiblefires:
Never use accessories on which the casing is accessible if it has a voltage of > 30 Vrms compared to the earth.
This precaution is necessary for example for sensors with an accessible metal BNC. The accessories shipped
with the instrument are compliant.

600VinCategoryIII(withrespecttoearthandbetweenthetwochannels).
2.7. SENSOR CALIBRATION
The calibration output (3 Vpp, 1 kHz) for the sensors is underneath the battery cover (see § 2.5.2. Back face).
To obtain optimum response, the sensor's low frequency compensation must be adjusted. To carry out this adjustment, the two
channels of your oscilloscope must be disconnected from the measured circuits before opening the battery housing cover.
Connect the sensor to be adjusted to the calibration
outputunderthebatteryhousingcover,asshown
opposite.

12
Select the DC coupling for the channel to which the sensor is connected and run an autoset (icon opposite) to carry out
pre-setting. Adjust the sensitivity and the vertical offset of the channel so that the signal fills the screen, and adjust the time base
to 200 µs to view a signal period on the screen. Turn the BNC base of the sensor in order to access the sensor adjustment screw:
In the example opposite the sensor is over-compensated:
an overshoot occurs.
Turn the screw in either direction until the signal is horizontal
andlookslikethescreenshownopposite.Yoursensorisnow
calibrated,soyoucanturntheBNCbaseagaintocloseaccess
to the adjustment screw.
Replace the battery cover in order to use your instrument in optimum safety conditions.
