Maximum safety in all environments
Troubleshooting in industrial environments presents many
challenges. Debugging electronic systems at a modern
production site can require analyzing low-voltage digital
signals, as well as verifying the power quality of a 380 V
supply, or testing the power efficiency of electrical drives.
The R&S®Scope Rider CAT IV 600 V rating provides this
level of flexibility in a single device.
Highest sensitivity and safe high-voltage
measurements at the same time
Double isolation of all input channels, the multimeter
channel
1)
and the digital interfaces, including the logic
channel (MSO), make it possible to measure in mixed
circuits with different ground levels. This reduces the risk
of accidental short circuits and enables safe measure-
ments in high-voltage electric installations. Sensitive
analog or digital control circuits can be measured without
compromising safety.
IP51 housing – tested in line with military
environmental standards
Thanks to the passive cooling concept, the handheld oscil-
loscope feature a sealed IP51, dust and drip-proof hous-
ing. Tested in line with military environmental standards,
the R&S®Scope Rider provides the ruggedness that is
needed for harsh environments. A rubberized surface with
large keys makes it easy to use in difficult environments.
