PicoScope 2000 Series User Guide
1.3Safety warning
We strongly recommend that you read the general safety information below before using your oscilloscope for the first time. Safety protection built in to the equipment may cease to function if the equipment is used incorrectly. This could cause damage to your computer, or lead to injury to yourself and others.
Maximum input range
PicoScope 2000 Series PC Oscilloscopes are designed to measure voltages in the range
Mains voltages
Pico Technology products are not designed for use with mains voltages. To measure mains, use a differential isolating probe specifically designed for a high source voltage.
Safety grounding
PicoScope 2000 Series PC Oscilloscopes connect directly to the ground of a computer through the interconnecting cable provided. This method minimises interference.
As with most oscilloscopes, avoid connecting the ground input to any source other than ground. If in doubt, use a meter to check that there is no significant AC or DC voltage between the ground input of the oscilloscope and the point to which you intend to connect it. Failure to check may cause damage to your computer, or lead to injury to yourself and others.
You should assume that the product does not have a protective safety earth.
Repairs
The oscilloscope contains no serviceable parts. Repair or calibration of the oscilloscope requires specialised test equipment and must be performed only by Pico Technology.
