P6015A Instruction Manual
1-1
Overview
The P6015A is a ground-re ference d 100 MΩ, 3.0 pF high voltage
probe with 1000X attenuation. It adds high-voltage measurement
capability to oscilloscopes and other measurement devices having an
input resistance of 1 MΩ and an input capacitance of 7 pF to 49 pF.
WARNING. Due t o the inhe rent hazards associated with taking
high-voltage measurements, this product is intended for use by
qualified personnel who have had the training to take these types of
measurements.
Read and follow the precautions specified in this manual.
The P6015A consists of two major assemblies: the probe body and
the compensation box (see Figure 1--1).
H The probe body houses the probe tip, head, and ground lead. The
probe body is made of high-impact thermoplastic that provides
mechanical protection for the probe’s internal components and
electrical protection for the user.
H The com pensation box conne cts a ground-referenced oscilloscope
or other grounded measuring device and has a cable that attaches
to the probe body. The compensation box contains an adjustment
network to optimize frequency response up to 75 MHz.
WARNING. To av oid shock, keep hands and fingers behind the guard
ring on the probe when the probe is connected to voltages.
