HDO9000 High Definition Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual
Execise care when lifting. Use the built-in carrying handle.
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. In a benchtop configuration, leave a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) around the
sides between the instrument and the nearest object. The feet provide adequate bottom clearance.
Follow rackmount instructions for proper rack spacing.
Caution: Do not block the cooling vents.
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.

Calibration

The oscilloscope is calibrated at the factory prior to being shipped. The recommended calibration
interval is one year. Calibration should be performed by qualified personnel only.
Schedule an annual factory calibration as part of your regular maintenance. Extended warranty,
calibration, and upgrade plans are available for purchase. Contact your Teledyne LeCroy sales
representative or customersupport@teledynelecroy.com to purchase a service plan.
The oscilloscope software includes both automatic and user-initiated calibration functions. See
Calibration Preferences.
Caution: Remove all inputs prior to performing calibration.

Cleaning

Clean only the exterior of the instrument using a soft cloth moistened with water or an isopropyl
alcohol solution. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive elements. Under no circumstances
submerge the instrument or allow moisture to penetrate it. Dry the instrument thoroughly before
connecting a live voltage source.
