1 Getting Started

The 6000A Series Option BAT oscilloscopes are battery powered. They have additional LED indicators on the front panel:

Caution indicator. Lights (amber) when running on the internal battery. See “Operating with the Internal Battery” below.

Battery power indicator. Turns from green to red when there is 15 to 20 minutes of battery power remaining.

Charging indicator. Lights when the battery is charging. Turns off when the battery is fully charged or when the charger is disconnected.

Battery life is approximately 1.75 hours, depending on the oscilloscope configuration.

Operating with the Internal Battery

When operating with the internal battery, the operating temperature should be in the range from -10°C to 50°C, ≤ 80% relative humidity.

1 Make sure battery is charged before use. See “Charging the Battery” below.

2 Connect the supplied ground wire from the ground post on the back of the instrument to earth ground.

Maintain oscilloscope ground connection

Do not negate the protective action of the ground connection to the

 

 

oscilloscope. If the circuit under test has voltages greater than 30

 

Vrms, the oscilloscope must be grounded through its ground

 

terminal to prevent electric shock to the user.
