I just bought a new Rig
I use the power adaptor provided in the accessories box and I connect it to the AC power source (220 V, 50 Hz ).
Looks like the adapter provided doesn't have the right power option. I searched the manual and found the same requirements as anniel747
The supply they shipped you doesn't meet the manufacturer requirements.
So what is the right power adapter for this model Rigol dho804 12V 4 A Or 15V 3A ?
The document you uploaded above, says DC, 12 V, 4 A every time
Yes, so do you think it's largely a charger voltage issue?
I don't know. But if the power supply can deliver 75% of the required power, it's hard to validate if it is anything else...
It could be that Rigol re-designed the power requirements. Certainly the newer version of the manual calls for 15V 3A. I wouldn't plug anything in without checking with Rigol first what the specific instance based on serial number requires.
Ok, Thank you very much, I should contact Rigol service to know if the power adapter came with scope is a correct or not.
(Yes), and give them a photo of the error, and how long it takes from powering on to the error
I mean: no, contact the vendor. Rigol will most likely ask you to do that anyway
Yes, I understand the difference here. My point is that there seems to be a (perhaps older) version requiring a 12V 4a PD3 power supply and a newer version requiring a 15v 3A PD3 power supply. The OP seems to have the latter supply but possibly a former instrument but it isn’t wholly clear: perhaps there is an unrelated fault (maybe using a 15v supply for a 12v instrument caused a problem), perhaps the PSU is wrong. Is he reading the wrong version of the manual?? I wouldn’t be plugging any old supply into an instrument that is new and under warranty.
