General Safety Information

Carefully read the following safety information in order to avoid any personal injury and

damage to this product or to any products associated with its use. In order to lessen the

chances of any possible dangers that may occur in connection with the use of this

product, the product should only be used in the specified applications the product was

designed and intended for.

Warning:

To avoid fire or electrical shock please use the proper power adapter. Use only

the power adapter recommended by the manufacturer.

Warning:

If test tool inputs are connected to more than 42V peak (30Vrms) or used in

circuits of more than 4800VA, adhere to the following guidelines in order to

avoid fire or electrical shock:

● Use only insulated voltage probes, test leads and the adapter supplied with

the test tool, or indicated by Extech as suitable for the Oscilloscope &

Multimeter.

● Before use inspect voltage probes, test leads and accessories for

mechanical damage and replace when required.

● Remove all probes, test leads and accessories that are not in use.

● Always connect the power adapter first to the AC outlet before connecting

it to the Oscilloscope & Multimeter.

● Do not apply voltages that differ more than 400V from earth ground to any

input when measuring in a CAT III environment.

● Do not apply voltages that differ more than 400V from earth ground to any

input when measuring in a CAT II environment.

● Do not apply voltages that differ more than 400V from each other to the

isolated input when measuring in a CAT III environment.

● Do not apply voltages that differ more than 400V from each other to the

isolated inputs when measuring in a CAT II environment.

● Do not apply input voltages above the rating of the instrument. Use caution

when using 1:1 test leads because the probe tip voltage will be directly

transmitted to the Oscilloscope & Multimeter.

● Do not use exposed metal BNC or banana plug connectors. Do not insert

metal objects into connectors.

● Always use the Oscilloscope & Multimeter only in the manner specified.

● Voltage ratings that are mentioned in the warning are provided as limits for

“working voltage”. The representative Vac rms (50-60Hz) indicates AC sine

wave applications and as Vdc for DC applications. Overvoltage Category III

refers to distribution level and fixed installation circuits inside a building.

Overvoltage Category II refers to local levels, which are applicable for

appliances and portable equipment.

Only qualified technical personnel should perform maintenance.

Pay attention to the nominal values of all terminals: To avoid fire or electric

shock, please keep a watchful eye on all nominal values and marks specified on

this product. Before any connections are made, carefully read the user’s manual

of the product for further information of nominal values.

DO NOT operate this product without the instrument cover plate in place: If the

cover plate or panel has been removed, do not perform any operations with this

product.

DO NOT come into contact with bare conductors: When the product is powered

on, do not touch any bare joints or parts of the meter.

DO NOT operate this product in case of any undetermined failure: When in

doubt of the cause of any damage to this product, consult qualified technical

personnel.

Keep the product well ventilated: Refer to the user manual for detailed installation

instructions. Make sure the product is operated in a well ventilated area.

DO NOT operate this product in humid conditions.

DO NOT operate this product where explosives are handled or used.

Keep the product surface clean and dry.

General Inspection

After purchasing a new MS400 oscilloscope, it is suggested that a general inspection of

the instrument be performed according to the following steps:

Check whether there is any damage to the product caused by shipping

If the packing material, boxes or foam cushions are found in a damaged condition, keep

them in a proper place until the complete instrument and accessories have passed

electrical and mechanical tests.

Check the Accessories

Double check the accessory list and pictures of the parts and accessories included with

your instrument. Check whether there is any accessory loss by referencing the Appendix.

In case of any accessory loss, damage or variation in specifications, contact the

organization where the product was purchased.

Check the Instrument

If the instrument is apparently damaged, fails in normal operation or in a performance

test, consult the place of purchase.

If the instrument is damaged due to shipping, keep the packing material in a proper place

and contact the place of purchase.
