Declaration of Conformity TA133-User’s Guide (EC conformity marking) The manufacturer declares the conformity of this product with the actual required safety standards in accordance with the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) 2006/95/EC: CEI/IEC 61010-031:2008 Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use - Part 031: Safety requirements for hand-held probe assemblies for electrical measurement and test WEEE/ RoHS Directives (EC confo
TA133-User’s Guide IEC Measurement Categories Definitions and Examples (Clause 6.5.2) 4 Measurement Category I Definition: Measurement category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to a mains supply. Examples: Measurements in circuits not derived from a mains supply and specially protected ( internal ) circuits derived from a mains supply.
IEC Pollution Degrees TA133-User’s Guide Definitions (Clause 3.5.6 ) Pollution Degree 1 No POLLUTION or only dry, non conductive POLLUTION. NOTE: The POLLUTION has no influence. Pollution Degree 2 Only- non conductive POLLUTION. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused by condensation must be accepted. Pollution Degree 3 Conductive POLLUTION occurs or dry, non-conductive POLLUTION occurs which becomes conductive due to condensation which is to be expected.
TA133-User’s Guide Safety Information To avoid personal injury and to prevent fire or damage to this product or products connected to it, review and comply with the following safety precautions. Be aware that if you use this probe assembly in a manner not specified the protection this product provides may be impaired. Only qualified personnel should use this probe assembly. Use only grounded instruments. Do not connect the probe ground lead to a potential other than earth ground.
About the probe TA133-User’s Guide The TA133 passive probe sets new standards in high-performance probing. The compact design with only 2.5 mm housing diameter at the probe tip is ideal for measurements of SMT components. It provides a much better visibility of the device under test than conventional 5 mm probe housing designs. A true Pico Technology feature is the exchangeable probe tip. The gold-plated spring contact and the rigid tip are only 0.5 mm in diameter.
Specifications TA133-User’s Guide Specifications not defined as "guaranteed" are typical and are published as general information for the user. The instrument should have warmed up for at least 20 minutes and the environmental conditions should not exceed the probe's specified limits.

TA133-User’s Guide Adjustment Procedures The probe can be adjusted for low frequency (LF) compensation and for high frequency (HF) compensation. LF Compensation LF needs to be adjusted when the probe is connected to the oscilloscope input the first time. LF compensation matches the probes cable capacitance to the oscilloscope input capacitance. This matching assures good amplitude accuracy from DC to upper bandwidth limit frequencies.
Adjustment Procedures TA133-User’s Guide HF Compensation It is typically not necessary to adjust HF compensation unless the probe is being used with an oscilloscope having large differences in input characteristics from the oscilloscope that was used for factory adjustment. If you intend to use this probe with an instrument other than the PicoScope 6400, you should check the probe's high frequency response and adjust it if necessary.
