SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS This chapter contains important safety instructions that you must follow when operating GBS-1000 and when keeping it in storage. Read the following before any operation to ensure your safety and to keep the best condition for GBS1000. Safety Symbols These safety symbols may appear in this manual or on GBS-1000. WARNING Warning: Identifies conditions or practices that could result in injury or loss of life.
GBS-1000 Series User Manual Do not dispose electronic equipment as unsorted municipal waste. Please use a separate collection facility or contact the supplier from which this instrument was purchased. Safety Guidelines General Guideline CAUTION Make sure the BNC input voltage does not exceed 300V peak. Never connect a hazardous live voltage to the ground side of the BNC connectors. It might lead to fire and electric shock. Do not place any heavy object on GBS-1000.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Power Supply WARNING Fuse WARNING Cleaning GBS1000 Operation Environment AC Input voltage: 100 ~ 240V AC, 48 ~ 63Hz The power supply voltage should not fluctuate more than 10%. Connect the protective grounding conductor of the AC power cord to an earth ground, to avoid electrical shock. Fuse type: T2A/250V Make sure the correct type of fuse is installed before power up. To ensure fire protection, replace the fuse only with the specified type and rating.
GBS-1000 Series User Manual (Pollution Degree) EN 61010-1:2001 specifies the pollution degrees and their requirements as follows. GBS-1000 falls under degree 2. Pollution refers to “addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid, or gaseous (ionized gases), that may produce a reduction of dielectric strength or surface resistivity”. Pollution degree 1: No pollution or only dry, non-conductive pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence. Pollution degree 2: Normally only non-conductive pollution occurs.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Power cord for the United Kingdom When using GBS-1000 in the United Kingdom, make sure the power cord meets the following safety instructions.

CONFIGURATION 8. Press F2 (Peak Detect) or F1 (Normal) and see that in the Peak detection mode, spike noise is captured. Peak Detect Normal F 1 Peak Detect F 2 Normal Select waveform memory length Background Panel operation Memory length defines the amount of waveform data (points) included in each trigger event. Two modes are available: short and long. Short mode Each waveform includes fewer points and is updated rapidly.
GBS-1000 Series User Manual Range (memory point) Example 500 Short memory length; useful for catching high frequency signal. 5000 Long memory length when three or four channels are active. 12500 Long memory length when two channels are active. 25000 Long memory length when only one channel is active.
CONFIGURATION Real time vs Equivalent time sampling mode Background GBS-1000 automatically switches between two sampling modes, Real-time and Equivalent-time, according to the number of active channels and the sampling rate. Parameter Real-time sampling One-time sampled data is used to reconstruct a single waveform. Short-time events might get lost if the sampling rate gets too high. This mode is used when the sampling rate is relatively low.

GBS-1000 Series User Manual FAQ • I pressed the Power (On/Standby) key on the front panel but nothing happens. • I connected the signal but it does not appear on the display. • I want to remove the (Measurement result / FFT result / Help contents) from the display. • The waveform does not update (frozen). • The probe waveform is distorted. • Auto Set does not catch the signal well. • I want to clean up the cluttered panel settings. • The display image printout is too dark on the background.
FAQ I want to remove the (Measurement result / FFT result / Help contents) from the display. To clear the automatic measurement results, press the Measure key twice, then Press F5 (OFF). See page60 for details. To clear the FFT results, press the Math key twice. See page72 for details. To clear the Help results, press the Help key again. See page50 for details. The waveform does not update (frozen). Press the Run/Stop key to unfreeze the waveform. See page55 for details.
GBS-1000 Series User Manual I want to clean up the cluttered panel settings. Recall the default settings by pressing Save/Recall key→F1. For default setting contents, see page49. The display image printout is too dark on the background. Use the Inksaver function which reverses the background color. For details, see page163. The date and time settings are not correct. For date and time setting details, please see page133. If it does not help, the internal battery controlling the clock might be worn out.
