EMC compliance
EU EMC Directive
Meets intent of Directive 2014/30/EU for Electromagnetic
Compatibility. Compliance was demonstrated to the following
specifications as listed in the Official Journal of the European
Communities:
EN 61326-1, EN 61326-2-1. EMC requirements for electrical
equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use.
CISPR 11. Radiated and conducted emissions, Group 1,
Class A
IEC 61000-4-2. Electrostatic discharge immunity
IEC 61000-4-3. RF electromagnetic field immunity
IEC 61000-4-4. Electrical fast transient/burst immunity
IEC 61000-4-5. Power line surge immunity
IEC 61000-4-6. Conducted RF immunity
IEC 61000-4-11. Voltage dips and interruptions immunity
EN 61000-3-2. AC power line harmonic emissions
EN 61000-3-3. Voltage changes, fluctuations, and flicker
1
This product is intended for use in nonresidential areas only. Use in residential
areas may cause electromagnetic interference.
2
Emissions which exceed the levels required by this standard may occur when
this equipment is connected to a test object.
3
Equipment may not meet the immunity requirements of applicable listed
standards when test leads and/or test probes are connected due to coupling
of electromagnetic interference onto those leads/probes. To minimize the
influence of electromagnetic interference, minimize the loop area between the
unshielded portions of signal and associated return leads, and keep leads
as far away as possible from electromagnetic disturbance sources. Twisting
unshielded test leads together is an effective way to reduce loop area. For
probes, keep the ground return lead as short as possible and close to the
probe body. Some probes have accessory probe tip adapters to accomplish
this most effectively. In all cases, observe all safety instructions for the probes
or leads used.
4
For compliance with the EMC standards listed here, high quality shielded
interface cables that incorporate low impedance connection between the cable
shield and the connector shell should be used.

5
≤3.0 division waveform displacement or ≤6.0 division increase in peak-to-peak
noise is allowed when the instrument is subjected to fields and signals as
defined in the IEC 61000-4-3 test.
6
≤1.5 division waveform displacement or ≤2.0 division increase in peak-to-peak
noise is allowed when the instrument is subjected to fields and signals as
defined in the IEC 61000-4-6 test.
Australia / New Zealand Declaration of Conformity – EMC
Complies with the EMC provision of the Radiocommunications
Act per the following standard, in accordance with ACMA:
CISPR 11. Radiated and Conducted Emissions, Group
1, Class A, in accordance with EN 61326-1 and
EN 61326-2-1.
Safety compliance

Measurement and overvoltage category description
Measurement terminals on this product may be rated for
measuring mains voltages from the following category (see
specific ratings marked on the product and in the manual).
5
Category II. Circuits directly connected to the building
wiring at utilization points (socket outlets and similar
points).
6
NOTE. Only mains power supply circuits have an overvoltage
category rating. Only measurement circuits have a
measurement category rating. Other circuits within the product
do not have either rating.
Mains overvoltage category rating
Overvoltage category II (as defined in IEC 61010-1).
Environmental considerations
Refer to the User Manual for information about the
environmental impact of the product.

Operating overview

Refer to the User Manual for complete operating information
and product specifications.
Power source
Use a power source that delivers 100 V
with a frequency between 47 Hz and 440 Hz.
This Oscilloscope operates from a single-phase power source
with the neutral conductor at or near earth ground. It is intended
for only ground-referenced measurements. A protective ground
connection through the grounding conductor in the power cord
is essential for safe operation.
The line fuse is internal and is not operator replaceable.
