Safety Guidelines
General
Guideline
CAUTION
Do not place any heavy object on the unit.
Avoid severe impact or rough handling that
leads to damaging the unit.
Do not discharge static electricity to the unit.
Do not block the cooling fan opening.
Do not perform measurements on circuits that
are directly connected to mains power.
Do not disassemble the PSB unless you are
qualified.
(Measurement categories) EN 61010-1:2001 specifies the
measurement categories and their requirements as follows. The
PSB-2000 falls under category I.
Measurement category IV is for measurement performed at the
source of low-voltage installation.
Measurement category III is for measurement performed in the
building installation.
Measurement category II is for measurement performed on the
circuits directly connected to the low voltage installation.
Measurement category I is for measurements performed on
circuits not directly connected to Mains.
Power Supply
WARNING
AC Input voltage range: 100VAC~240VAC,
1300VA Max
Frequency: 50Hz/60Hz
To avoid electrical shock connect the protective
grounding conductor of the AC power cord to
an earth ground.

Cleaning the
power supply
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the
oscilloscope.
Use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild
detergent and water. Do not spray any liquid
into the oscilloscope.
Do not use chemicals containing harsh products
such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and acetone.
Operation
Environment
Location: Indoor, no direct sunlight, dust free,
almost non-conductive pollution (Note below)
Relative Humidity: 30% to 80% (no dew or
condensation)
Altitude: < 2000m
Temperature: 0°C to 40°C
(Pollution Degree) EN 61010-1:2001 specifies pollution degrees
and their requirements as follows. The PSB falls under degree 2.
Pollution refers to “addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid, or
gaseous (ionized gases), that may produce a reduction of dielectric
strength or surface resistivity”.
Pollution degree 1: No pollution or only dry, non-conductive
pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence.
Pollution degree 2: Normally only non-conductive pollution
occurs. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused
by condensation must be expected.
Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, non-
conductive pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to
condensation which is expected. In such conditions, equipment
is normally protected against exposure to direct sunlight,
precipitation, and full wind pressure, but neither temperature
nor humidity is controlled.
Storage
environment
Location: Indoor
Relative Humidity: 30% to 70% (no dew or
conensation)
Temperature: -20°C to 70°C

Power cord for the United Kingdom
When using the power supply in the United Kingdom, make sure
the power cord meets the following safety instructions.
NOTE: This lead/appliance must only be wired by competent persons
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
IMPORTANT: The wires in this lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
Green/ Yellow:
Earth
Blue:
Neutral
Brown:
Live (Phase)
As the colours of the wires in main leads may not correspond with the
coloured marking identified in your plug/appliance, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured Green & Yellow must be connected to the Earth
terminal marked with either the letter E, the earth symbol or coloured
Green/Green & Yellow.
The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which
is marked with the letter N or coloured Blue or Black.
The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal
marked with the letter L or P or coloured Brown or Red.
If in doubt, consult the instructions provided with the equipment or
contact the supplier.
This cable/appliance should be protected by a suitably rated and approved
HBC mains fuse: refer to the rating information on the equipment and/or
user instructions for details. As a guide, a cable of 0.75mm2should be
protected by a 3A or 5A fuse. Larger conductors would normally require
13A types, depending on the connection method used.
Any exposed wiring from a cable, plug or connection that is engaged in a
live socket is extremely hazardous. If a cable or plug is deemed hazardous,
turn off the mains power and remove the cable, any fuses and fuse
assemblies. All hazardous wiring must be immediately destroyed and
replaced in accordance to the above standard.

GETTING STARTED
The PSB series are variable output, high-
performance, regulated, switching DC power
supplies. They incorporate a high-frequency
current suppression circuit and accept input
voltages rated from AC100V to 240V without the
need to switch inputs. The offer a wide voltage
and current range within their maximum rated
power envelope. They also have a variable
constant power function. They have standard
features such as voltage and current settings, an
output on/off switch, monitor outputs and other
functions via external connectors. The chasis is
smaller overall than traditional power supplies to
reduce the total work area. The dual channel
model and the booster unit extend the series to
cover a wider range of applications. The PSB series
are also able to execute sequence programs that
are written using the optional interface boards.
The optional interface boards also allow you to
control the PSB series remotely from a PC using
GPIB, RS232C or USB.
