USER MANUAL HPS140 VELLEMAN

ES- 3 - Safety information OVERVOLTAGE / INSTALLATION CATEGORIES CAT II : A CAT II-rated meter is suitable for measurements on mono-phase appliances that are connected to the mains by means of a plug and circuits in a normal domestic environment. E.g. household appliances, portable tools… Provided that the circuit is at least 10m apart from a CAT III- or 20m apart from a CAT IV-environment. POLLUTION DEGREE Pollution degree 2 : Only nonconductive pollution occurs. Occa- sionally, temporary conductivity caused by condensation is to be expected.(home and office environments fall under this category). To all citizens of the European Union Important environmental information about this product This symbol on this unit or the package indicates that disposal of this unit after its lifecycle could harm the environment.

• Never exceed the limit values for protection. These values are listed in the specifications.

• Do not touch unused terminals when the unit is linked to a circuit which is being tested.

• When carrying out measurements on a TV set or switching power circuits, always remember that the meter may be damaged by high amplitude voltage pulses at test points.

• Always be careful when working with voltages above 60Vdc or 30Vac rms. Keep your fingers behind the probe barriers at all times during measurement.

• Use a measuring probe with an insulated connector when measuring voltages exceeding 30V.

• For X10 probe: Match the frequency response to the oscilloscope input by adjusting the compensation trimmer on the probe, see probe manual During use- 4 - Specifications & Features 40 Megasamples/s in real time Bandwidth up to 10MHz Full auto-range option Sensitivity down to 0.1mV Signal markers for amplitude and time Memory ‘Hold’-function Direct Audio Power Measurement (Watts) USB battery charger included X10 measuring probe included with HSP140i Specifications:

Do not operate the device while charging from the USB charger. Use a standard 9Vdc mains adaptor if opera- tion during charging is required.- 5 - Frontpanel

- Press briefly for the short menu - Keep pressed to access the extended menu

Press the Hold button to freeze the waveform on-screen

5) Parameter indicators

Time/div, Trigger mode, AC/DC/GND, Volt/div and readout

6) Signal position indicators (X and Y scroll bar)

7) Trigger level and slope indicators

Charging the oscilloscope The are several charging options: Use the included USB charger, plugged into a computer USB port, a mains to USB adaptor, a car 12V to USB adaptor or any USB type socket that can supply 5V/500mA. For measurements during charging, it is strongly advised to use a 9Vdc/min 200mA mains adaptor. Charging of completely drained batteries can take up to 7 hours. The charge LED indicator will light while the scope is charging. Quick use of the oscilloscope After turning ON, a start-up screen appears. During this time, some calibrations are performed, so it can take a few seconds before the oscilloscope is ready for use. The scope always starts in full auto set-up mode. This mode can be used for most (repetitive) signals. Set the input coupling to "DC" if very low frequencies or DC voltages are measured (see further).

Select the triggering at a falling or rising edge of the input signal Select the desired trigger mode (run, normal) Adjust the trigger level Move the signal vertically over the display (Y scroll bar) Move the signal horizontally over the display (X scroll bar) Increase or decrease the contrast until the desired contrast is reached Note: The last selected extended menu option will appear in the short menu, until an other parameter is selected. Briefly press the menu button to select and highlight the desired parameter EXTENDED MENU > access by keeping the menu button pressed SHORT MENU > access by briefly pressing the menu button Enlarge or reduce the signal vertically by adjusting the voltage per division, or select ‘AUTO’ for automatic signal display Adapt the scope readout to the probe setting "x1" or "x10" Time base: More or less signal cycles will be visible by modifying the time per division, or select ‘AUTO’ for automatic signal display Select the input coupling AC / DC or choose a zero reference level (GND) Select the desired voltage readout (Volt, dB, audio power measuring... ) The short menu is used to change the most common parameters like volts per division or time- base. For more advanced functions, the extended menu can be used. Briefly press the menu button to select and highlight the desired parameter Note: The menu will exit automatically if no button is pressed for a few seconds, or exit by a long press on the menu button. Hint: In most settings, hold the UP or DOWN button pressed to activate the auto-range function. Parameters in reverse= automatic mode.- 7 - ‘Hold’-function The scope has two memories and one hold screen. The two memories are stored even after power off. Press the ‘hold’-button briefly to freeze the screen

1- Press and keep the ‘hold’-button to store the frozen screen until MEM1 appears

2- Your signal is stored in MEM1, if a signal was previous stored, this signal is moved to MEM2

3- Press the ‘hold’-button briefly to release the screen for measurements

Use the markers and recall the memory Press the ‘hold’-button briefly Now two menu screens can be recalled

1- Press the menu button briefly to call the short menu

2- Keep the menu button pressed to call the extended menu

3- Press the menu button briefly to select an item

4- Use the up or down buttons, to change the selected item

Using the short menu you can move the signal markers for voltage and time. To recall a memory (if used) select "memory", then press up or down to switch between: Memory 1 > Memory 2 > Current Frozen screen…
