Cleaning the Probe
WARNING SHOCK HAZARD!
These probes are designed for use with oscilloscopes that have a common
terminal at GROUND POTENTIAL (in accordance with OSHA requirements and
the National Electric Code). Exposed metallic surfaces of the probe and the
oscilloscope MUST BE GROUNDED. Failure to ground the common terminal
during certain applications, such as those requiring the oscilloscope to be
powered from an external battery, might expose the operator to an electrical
shock hazard that could be lethal (depending on voltage and current conditions.)
The probe inputs are safety rated to a maximum of 1000 Vrms CAT II and 600
Vrms CAT III between either input and earth ground. These maximum ratings
apply regardless of the attenuation setting of the probe. Do not apply voltages
greater than 1000 Vrms CAT II or 600 Vrms CAT III between either input and
ground.
The probe tips that are provided are rated for 1000 Vrms CAT II and 600 Vrms
CAT III usage. Other probe tips may be used if they have the appropriate ratings
and the same style connectors.
Cleaning the Probe
Disconnect the probe from all power sources and clean it with a soft cloth
dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Be careful not to get water in the
attenuation switch. Make sure the probe is completely dry before reconnecting
it to a power source.
