Environmental Conditions
Overvoltage Category
This product is intended to be powered by MAINS that comply to
Overvoltage Category II, which is typical of cord- and- plug connected
equipment.
Pollution Degree
The 1000B Series oscilloscope may be operated in environments of
Pollution Degree 2 (or Pollution Degree 1).
Pollution Degree Definitions
Pollution Degree 1: No pollution or only dry, non- conductive pollution
occurs. The pollution has no influence. Example: A clean room or climate
controlled office environment.
Pollution Degree 2. Normally only dry non- conductive pollution occurs.
Occasionally a temporary conductivity caused by condensation may occur.
Example: General indoor environment.
Pollution Degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, non- conductive
pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to condensation which is
expected. Example: Sheltered outdoor environment.
