HDO4000 High Definition Oscilloscope
Safety Instructions
Observe these instructions to keep the instrument operating in a correct and safe condition. You are
required to follow generally accepted safety procedures in addition to the precautions specified in this
section. The overall safety of any system incorporating this instrument is the responsibility of the
assembler of the system.
Symbols
These symbols may appear on the instrument's front or rear panels and in its documentation to alert you
to important safety considerations:
CAUTION of potential damage to instrument, or WARNING of potential bodily injury. Do not
proceed until the information is fully understood and conditions are met.
High voltage. Risk of electric shock or burn.
Measurement ground connection.
Safety (protective) ground connection.
Alternating Current.
Standby Power (front of instrument).
Precautions
Use proper power cord. Use only the power cord shipped with this instrument and certified for the country
of use.
Maintain ground. This product is grounded through the power cord grounding conductor. To avoid electric
shock, connect only to a grounded mating outlet.
Connect and disconnect properly. Do not connect/disconnect probes or test leads while they are
connected to a voltage source.
Observe all terminal ratings. Do not apply a voltage to any input (C1, C2, C3, C4 or EXT) that exceeds the
maximum rating of that input. Refer to the front of the oscilloscope for maximum input ratings.
Use only within operational environment listed. Do not use in wet or explosive atmospheres.
Use indoors only.
Keep product surfaces clean and dry. See Cleaning in the Maintenance section.
Do not block the cooling vents. Leave a minimum six-inch (15 cm) gap between the instrument and the
nearest object. Keep the underside clear of papers and other objects.
Do not remove the covers or inside parts. Refer all maintenance to qualified service personnel.
Do not operate with suspected failures. Do not use the product if any part is damaged. Obviously incorrect
measurement behaviors (such as failure to calibrate) might indicate impairment due to hazardous live
electrical quantities. Cease operation immediately and sequester the instrument from inadvertent use.

HDO4000 High Definition Oscilloscope
Operating Environment
Temperature: 5 to 40° C.
Humidity: Maximum relative humidity 90 % for temperatures up to 31° C, decreasing linearly to 50%
relative humidity at 40° C.
Altitude: Up to 3,048 m (10,000 ft) at or below 30° C.
Cooling
The instrument relies on forced air cooling with internal fans and vents. Take care to avoid restricting the
airflow to any part. Around the sides and rear, leave a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) between the
instrument and the nearest object.The feet (up or down) provide adequate bottom clearance.
CAUTION. Do not block cooling vents. Always keep the area beneath the instrument clear of
paper and other items.
The instrument also has internal fan control circuitry that regulates the fan speed based on the ambient
temperature. This is performed automatically after start-up.
Power
AC Power
The instrument operates from a single-phase, 100 to 240 Vrms (± 10%) AC power source at 50/60/400 Hz
(± 10%). Manual voltage selection is not required because the instrument automatically adapts to the line
voltage.
Power Consumption
Maximum power consumption with all accessories installed (e.g., active probes, USB peripherals, digital
leadset) is 300 W (300 VA) for four-channel models and 250 W (250 VA) for two-channel models. Power
consumption in standby mode is 4 W.
Ground
The AC inlet ground is connected directly to the frame of the instrument. For adequate protection again
electric shock, connect to a mating outlet with a safety ground contact.
WARNING. Only use the power cord provided with your instrument. Interrupting the protective
conductor inside or outside the oscilloscope, or disconnecting the safety ground terminal,
creates a hazardous situation. Intentional interruption is prohibited.

Carrying and Placing the Oscilloscope
The oscilloscope’s case contains a built-in carrying handle. Lift the handle away from the oscilloscope
body, grasp firmly and lift the instrument. Always unplug the instrument from the power source before
lifting and carrying it.
Place the instrument where it will have a minimum 15 cm (6 inch) clearance from the nearest object. Be
sure there are no papers or other debris beneath the oscilloscope or blocking the cooling vents.
CAUTION. Do not place the instrument so that it is difficult to reach the power cord in case you
need to quickly disconnect from power.
