SAFETY Symbol in This Manual fi\ This symbol indicates where applicable cautionary or other imformation is to be found. Power Source This equipment operates from a power source that does not apply more than 250 V rms between the supply conductors or between either supply conductor and ground. A pro- tective ground connection by way of the grounding conductor in the power cord is essen- tial for safe operation.

PREPARATION FOR USE SAFETY Before connecting the instrument to a power source, carefully read the following infor- mation, then verify that the proper power cord is used and the proper line fuse is installed for power source. The specified voltage is shown at the left side of the power cord on the rear panel.

6. Operation adjacent to equipment which produces strong AC magnetic fields should be avoided where possible. This includes such devices as large power supplies, transformers, electric motors, etc., that are often found in an industrial environment. Strong magnetic shields can exceed the practical CRT magnetic shielding limits and result interference and distortion.

Fig. 2 - 2 (7) AC-GND-DC This lever selects the coupling method used for the CH1 vertical axis input signal. Input signal is AC coupled, and DC component is blocked. GND: Input signal and vertical amplifier are separated and input to vertical amplifier is grounded.
TOP C A S E SURFACE Fig. 5 (§) Connector Cover Used when option BP-70 (DC power supply) is used; This cover protects the connec- tor for supplying power. Loosen the screws on the front panel, remove the rear panel screws, rotate 180 degrees, and tighten the screws again to hold the cover in place.
OPERATION INITIAL STARTING PROCEDURE Until you familiarize yourself with the use of all controls, the following procedure may be used to standarize the initial setting of controls as a reference point and to obtain trace on the CRT in preparation for waveform observation. When using the probe(s), refer to probe's instructions and "PROBE COMPENSATION"...
(2) MAGNIFIED SWEEP OPERATION Since merely shortening the sweep time to magnify a portion of an observed waveform can result in the desired portion disappearing off the screen, such magnified display should be performed using the MAGNIFIED SWEEP. Using the POSITION control, adjust the desired portion of waveform to the CRT.
APPLICATION PROBE COMPENSATION To obtain an accurate measurement result, the probe must be adjusted correctly before measurement. 1. Connect the probe to the INPUT terminal and set the control for a normal sweep display. 2. Connect the probe to the CAL terminal on the front panel, and adjust the SWEEP TIME/DIV control to display a few cycles of the signal output from it.
3. Set the AC-GND-DC switch to the DC position to observe the input waveform, includ- ing its DC component. If an appropriate reference level or VOLTS/DIV setting was not made, the waveform may not be visible on the CRT screen at this point. If so, reset VOLTS/DIV and/or the $ POSITION control.
3. Using the ^ • POSITION control, adjust the second point to coincide with the center vertical graduation line. 4. Measure the vertical distance between the two points and multiply this by the setting of the VOLTS/DIV control. If a probe is used, further multiply this by the attenuation ratio. Using the formula: Volts Peak-to-Peak = Vertical distance (div) x (VOLTS/DIV setting) x (probe attenuation ratio)

[EXAMPLE] For the example, the horizontal distance between the two points is 5.4 divisions. If the SWEEP TIME/DIV is 0.2 ms/div we calculate. (See Fig. 13) Substituting the given value: Time = 5.4 (div) x 0.2 (ms/div) = 1.08 ms FREQUENCY MEASUREMENTS Frequency measurements are made by measuring the period of one cycle of waveform and taking the reciprocal of this time value as the frequency.
2. Count the number of cycles of waveform between a chosen set of vertical graduation lines. Using the horizontal distance between the vertical lines used above and the SWEEP TIME/DIV, the time span may be calculated. Multiply the reciprocal of this value by the number of cycles present in the given time span.

2. Set the signal generator output for the normal operating level of the circuit being test- ed. If desired, the circuit's output may be observed on the oscilloscope. If the test cir- cuit is overdriven, the sine wave display on the oscilloscope is clipped and the signal level must be reduced.
MAINTENANCE A\ Caution : Read this page carefully to keep your safety. For Electric Shock Protection: Be sure to disconnect the power cable from the socket before conducting the following operation. MAINTENANCE There is high voltage used inside this unit. Never open the case. REPLACEMENT OF FUSES This oscilloscope will not function if the fuse has blown.
