Subject to change without notice
Using the probe and accessories
after parts relevant to safety have been replaced
(visual inspection, PE conductor test, insulation
resistance measurement, leakage current mea-
surement, functional test). This helps to ensure
the continued safety of the product.
Cleaning the Probe
Disconnect the probe and clean it with a soft
cloth. Make sure the probe is completely dry
before reconnecting it to an instrument. Avoid
using abrasive cleaners and chemicals containing
benzene or similar solvents.
Handling the Probe
Handle the probe with care and refer to the
safety notices in this manual. Note that the
probe cable is a sensitive part of the probe
and, therefore, you should be careful not to
damage it through excessive bending or pulling.
You should also avoid any mechanical shocks
to this product in order to guarantee accurate
performance and protection.
Using the probe and accessories
To use the probe, r st slide open the batter y com-
partment on the rear of the probe housing and
insert the 9V battery. You can also use the USB
power cord that ships with the probe to supply
power instead of the battery. Simply connect the
USB power cord to the probe and an USB port
(on a computer or oscilloscope).
Battery Use
Insert one 9V battery in the back of the unit as
indicated within the chassis (see picture for the
battery location). When battery life has expired,
remove the battery. Note the WEEE label on the
battery and dispose it properly.
Then connect the BNC output connector to
the channel input of the oscilloscope. The
oscilloscope must have a 50Ω input with ground
reference. In case the oscilloscope does not
provide a 50Ω input please use a 50Ω feed
through termination.
Using the appropriate probe accessories, connect
the inputs to the circuit under test.
– To protect against electrical shock, use only the ac-
cessories supplied with this probe or in the accessory
kit.
– This probe is made to carry out differential measure-
ments between two points on the circuit under test.
This probe is not made for electrically insulating the
circuit under test and the measuring instrument.
Hook and Alligator Clips
