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 ).
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.
anniel747 I have original power adapter for Toshiba laptop 15V 5 A , Can I try to connect it to scope.
Well, maybe you should take a multimeter and check the polarity of both power adapters at the output connector.
Of course, the decent instrument should have a polarity protection at the input, but at modern times, nobody can be sure, because the cutting of costs.
