Operator's Manual
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 appear on the instrument's front and rear panels or 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.
Frame or chassis terminal (ground connection).
Alternating current.
Standby power (front of instrument).
Precautions
Use only the proper 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 that exceeds the maximum rating of that
input. Refer to the front of the instrument 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.
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.

Motor Drive Analyzer/HDO8000 High-Definition Oscilloscope
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.
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 3,000 m 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 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, 100-240 Vrms (± 10%) AC power source at 50/60 Hz (± 5%)
or a 100-120 Vrms (± 10%) AC power source at 400 Hz (± 5%). 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 550 W (550 VA). Power consumption in standby mode is 10 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 case), or disconnecting the safety ground terminal, creates a
hazardous situation. Intentional interruption is prohibited.

Start Up
Carrying and Placing
The instrument’s case contains a built-in carrying handle. Lift the handle away from the body, grasp
firmly and lift the instrument. Always unplug the instrument from the power source before moving 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 underneath 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.
Positioning the Feet
To tilt the body back slightly for easier bench top viewing, pull the small
flaps on the bottom of the feet away from the body of the instrument.
Powering On/Off
Press the Standby button to turn on the instrument; press it again to turn "off" (reduced power
mode). The X-Stream application loads automatically when you use the Standby button.
CAUTION. Do not change the instrument’s Windows® Power Options setting from the default
Never to System Standby or System Hibernate. Doing so can cause the system to fail.
CAUTION. Do not power on or calibrate with a signal attached.
Always use the Standby button or the File > Shutdown menu option to execute a proper shut down
process and preserve settings before powering down. Do not power off by pulling the power cord from the
socket or shutting off a connected power strip without first shutting down properly.
The Standby button does not disconnect the instrument from the AC power supply. The only way to fully
power down the instrument is to unplug the AC power cord.
We recommend unplugging the instrument if it will remain unused for a long period of time.
