Measurement Category

IEC61010-2-030 defines the measurement category to rate the ability to measure instruments to withstand short-term transient overvoltage outside of the working voltage. This product and its accessories can only be used in the environment of the nominal measurement category.

• 0-An instrument with no rated measurement category is used to measure circuits that are not directly connected to the mains, such as a circuit board powered by a battery or a secondary circuit with special protection. This measurement category is also called CATⅠ.
• CAT II： For measurements installed in buildings, such as junction boxes, circuit breakers, distribution boards and equipment permanently connected to fixed installations.
• CAT III: Used for measurements installed in buildings, such as junction boxes, circuit breakers, distribution boards and equipment that are permanently connected to fixed installations.
•  CAT IV: It is used for measuring at the source of low-voltage devices, such as electricity meters and primary overcurrent protection devices.

Quick Start
Product Appearance 

Battery Installation

To protect the battery from over-discharging, the battery may be delivered separately. Please install the battery before use as follows:

1. Remove the three screws on the battery cover with a screwdriver, as shown in Figure 1.
2. Remove the battery cover, as shown in Figure2.
3. Put the battery into the battery slot, as shown in Figure3.
4. Lock the screws with the screwdriver, as shown in Figure 1, and then turn on the oscilloscope to check whether the battery is installed successfully.
5. Connect the DC-DC adapter to the connector on the left side (top view) of the oscilloscope and charge the battery to a full state the first time power on.

Measurement Connection

The SHS800X and SHS1000X series handheld oscilloscope measurement accessories include oscilloscope probes, multimeter probes, current adapters. 

1. Oscilloscope probe
   All oscilloscope probes should be properly compensated before their first use with the oscilloscope.
   The following steps illustrate the proper probe compensation procedure.
   1) Connect the probe to the CH1 Input Terminal and the Compensation Signal Output Terminal on the right side panel.
2. Check the displayed waveforms and compare them with the following figure.
   
3. Adjust the probe until the waveform matches the “Compensated Correctly” waveform above.

2. Multimeter probe
Before using the multimeter probe，please select the measuring range of the multimeter first, then plug the red probe and black ( grounding terminal ) probe into the corresponding input terminals according to the marking prompt of the front panel. When measuring the current, please select the correct accessories according to the current.

3. Current Adapter
To test current, insert a current adapter between the meter input and the meter probe. There are two different adapters, SCD600MA and SCD10A, which have built-in sampling resistors and fuses, can be used with the multimeter’s mA meter and A meter respectively.

Trouble Shooting

The general failures and consequential solutions are listed below. When you find them, please deal with them in the following corresponding ways. If the problem roves to be unsolvable, please contact SIGLENT as soon as possible.

1. The screen remains dark after power on:
   (1) Check if the battery/adapter is correctly connected.
   (2) Check if the power switch is faulted.
   (3) Check whether the fuse is burned out. If the fuse needs to be changed, please contact SIGLENT as soon as possible, return the instrument to the factory, and repair it by service personnel authorized by SIGLENT.
   (4) Restart the instrument after completing the inspections above.
   (5) If it still does not work normally, please contact SIGLENT.
2. After the signal is sampled, there is no corresponding waveform displaying:
   (1) Check if the probe is correctly connected to the signal connecting cord.
   (2) Check if the signal connecting cord is correctly connected to BNC.
   (3) Check if the probe is correctly connected to the item under test.
   (4) Check if there are signal generated from the item under test.
   (5) Resample the signal.
3. The voltage amplitude measured is higher or lower than the actual value (the error usually occurs in use of the probe):
   Check if the attenuation coefficient of the current channel matches the probe’s attenuation ratio.
4. There is waveform displaying but not stable:
   (1) Check the trigger source: check whether the “Source” in the menu of “TRIG” is the actual operating channel.
   (2) Check if the waveform is wrong: it is easy to regard the wrong waveform as the real when a high-frequency signal is connected to the instrument. You’d better make sure that the current time base is correct.
   (3) Check the trigger type: “Edge” trigger suits to general signal and the “Video” trigger suits to the video signal. Only in the correct trigger type can the waveform stably display.
   (4) Change the setting of trigger hold-off.
5. No display after pressing :
   Check whether the trigger Mode is “Normal” or “Single”, and if the trigger level exceeds the waveform range. If yes, set the trigger level to the middle or change the trigger Mode to “Auto”.
   Note: press “Auto Setup” could automatically replace the above setting.
6. The waveform displays like ladder:
   (1) The horizontal time scale may be too low, you can increase it to improve the horizontal resolution to make a good waveform displaying.
   (2) The lines between the sample points may also cause ladder-like displaying if the ” Type ” in menu of ” DISPLAY ” is “Vectors”. Please turn the ” Type ” to ” Dots ” to solve the problem.
7. USB storage can’t be recognized:
   (1) Check if the USB flash disk can work normally.
   (2) Check if the USB Device Host can work normally.
   (3) Make sure the USB disk being used is of flash type, the instrument does not support USB of hardware type.
   (4) Restart the instrument and then insert the USB to check it.
   (5) If it is still in abnormal use, please contact with SIGLENT.
