II- SDS2000X-E Series Digital Oscilloscope
Carefully read the following safety precautions to avoid any personal injury
or damage to the instrument and any products connected to it. To avoid
potential hazards, please use the instrument as specied.
Use Proper Power Cord
Only the power cord designed for the instrument and authorized by local
country could be used.
Ground the Instrument
The instrument is grounded through the protective earth conductor of the
power cord. To avoid electric shock, please make sure the instrument is
grounded correctly before connecting its input or output terminals.
Connect the Signal Wire Correctly
The potential of the signal wire ground is equal to the earth, so do not
connect the signal wire to a high voltage.
Look Over All Terminals’ Ratings
To avoid re or electric shock, please look over all ratings and sign instruction
of the instrument. Before connecting the instrument, please read the manual
carefully to gain more information about the ratings.
Use Proper Overvoltage Protection
Make sure that no overvoltage (such as that caused by a thunderstorm) can
reach the product, or else the operator might expose to danger of electrical
shock.
Electrostatic Prevention
Operate in an electrostatic discharge protective area environment to avoid
damages induced by static discharge. Always ground both the internal and
external conductors of the cable to release static before connecting.
Keep Well Ventilation
Inadequate ventilation may cause increasing of temperature, which may
eventually damage the instrument. So keep well ventilation and inspect the
intake and fan regularly.
Avoid Circuit or Components Exposed
Do not touch exposed contacts or components when the power is on.
Use Only the Specied Fuse
Do Not Operate Without Covers
Do not operate the instrument with covers or panels removed.

Power-on Inspection
When the scope is energized, turn on the power switch at the lower left corner on the front panel. During the start-up
process, the instrument performs a series of self-test items and you can hear the sound of relay switching. After the
self-test completed, the User Interface displays immediately.
Connect the Probe
SIGLENT provides passive probe for the SDS2000X-E series oscilloscope. Please refer to corresponding Probe User
Manual for detailed technical information.
Connect the probe:
1.Connect the BNC terminal of the probe to one of the channel BNC connector of the front panel.
2.Connect the probe tip to the circuit point to test and the ground alligator clip of the probe to the ground terminal of
the circuit.
Functional Inspection
1. Press to reset the oscilloscope to its factory default setup.
2. Connect the ground alligator clip of the probe to the Ground Terminal on the front panel.
3. Use the probe to connect the CH1 Input Terminal and the Compensation Signal Output Terminal on the front
panel.
4. Press
5. Observe the waveform on the screen. In normal condition, the display should be a square waveform as shown
in the photo to the right.
6. Test the other channels in the same method. If the actual square waveforms does not match that in the photo
shown, please perform “Probe Compensation”.
Note: To avoid electric shock when using the probe, rst please make certain that the insulated wire of the probe
is in good condition, and do not touch the metallic part of the probe when it is connected to a high voltage.

Probe Compensation
You should properly compensate the probe at rst use of it. Non-compensated or inadequate compensated probe may cause inaccurate measurement. The
following steps are about probe compensation:
1. Perform step 1, 2 , 3 and 4 of “Functional Inspection”.
2. Check the displayed waveforms and compare them with the following gure.
3. Use a nonmetallic driver to adjust the low-frequency compensation adjustment hole on the probe until the waveform changes to be correct as the gure above.
