2.5 Logic Probe Connection

DANGE
R
The logic input and 8826 Unit share a common ground. Therefore, if powe
r
is supplied to the measurement object of the logic probe and to the 882
6
from different sources, an electric shock or damage to the equipment ma
y
result. Even if power is supplied from the same system, if the wiring is suc
h
that a potential difference is present between the grounds, current will flow
through the logic probe so that the measurement object and 8826 could b
e
damaged. We therefore recommend the following connection method t
o
avoid this kind of result.
(1) Before connecting the logic probe to the measurement object, be sur
e
that power is supplied from the same outlet box to the measuremen
t
object and the 8826 using the supplied grounded 2-wire power cord.
(2) Before connecting the logic probe to the measurement object, connec
t
the ground of the measurement object to the 8826 ground terminal. Als
o
in this case, power should be supplied from the same source. Refer t
o
Section 2.2 for grounding terminal details.

In this case too, obtain power from th

Measurement
object
The logic input is located on the top side of th
e
unit. Up to eight probes can be connected.
Since one logic probe can record 4 channels, th
e
combined maximum recording capability for logi
c
waveforms is 32 channels.
Connect the probe by aligning the groove on th
e
plug with the ridge on the connector.

If no logic probe is connected, the corresponding logic waveform is displayed
on the screen at high level.
Carefully read the instruction manual supplied with the probe.
