Safety warnings

We strongly recommend that you read the general safety information below
and also the product-specifi c safety warning in the product manual before using
your product for the fi rst time. If you do not use the equipment in the manner
specifi ed, then you may impair the protection provided. This could result in
damage to your computer or injury to yourself or others.
The product manual is installed on your computer when you install the supplied
software.
Maximum input range
You can fi nd the maximum input range and, where applicable, overload protection
range either in the product manual installed on your computer, or on the product
datasheet, both are available from our website at www.picotech.com. Always
operate the product within the specifi ed input range. Operation outside the range
of the overload protection is likely to cause permanent damage to the unit.
Mains voltages
Pico products are not designed for use with mains voltages. To measure mains we
recommend the use of a differential probe, such as the Pico Technology TA041,
that is specifi cally designed for such measurements.
Safety grounding
The ground of every product is connected directly to the ground of your computer
through the interconnecting cable supplied. This is done in order to minimise
interference. Therefore, always use the supplied cable to attach the product to
your computer.
As with most oscilloscopes and data loggers, take care to avoid connecting the
ground input of the product to anything which may be at some voltage other than
ground. If in doubt, use a voltmeter to check that there is no signifi cant AC or
DO080-11
DC voltage between the oscilloscope ground and the point to which you intend to
connect it. Failure to check may cause damage to the product or computer and
could cause injury to yourself or others.
With temperature converters, take great care when measuring temperatures near
mains equipment. If a sensor is accidentally connected to mains voltages, you
risk damage to the converter or your computer and your computer chassis may
become live.
You should assume that the product does not have a protective safety earth.
Incorrect confi guration or use on voltages outside the maximum input range can
be hazardous.
Repairs
The unit contains no user-serviceable parts. Repair or calibration of the unit
requires specialised test equipment and must be performed by Pico Technology
Limited or its authorised distributors.
