WARNING
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury and/or product damage,
review and comply
with the following safety precautions. These precautions apply to both
operating and maintenance personnel and must be followed during all
phases of operation, service, and repair of this instrument.
Only qualified personnel should use this probe.
This high voltage
probe is designed to be used by personnel who are trained, experienced,
or otherwise qualified to recognize hazardous situations and who are
trained in the safety precautions necessary to avoid possible injury when
using such a device.
This instrument is intended for usage within Measurement Category I
(CAT I) only.
Do not exceed 60 seconds of contact with high voltage.
When
making contact between this probe and any circuit with voltages ≥8 kV
DC, ≥5 kVrms AC, or ≥15 kVpk-pk AC, wait for 5 minutes between such
measurements.
Do not work alone
when working with high voltages.
Do not apply to the input any potential that exceeds the maximum
rating of the probe.
For your own safety, inspect the probes
for cracks and frayed or broken
leads before each use. If defects are noted, DO NOT USE the probe.
Hands, shoes, floor and work bench must be dry.
Avoid making measurements under humidity,
dampness or other
environmental conditions that might affect safety.
Turn the high voltage source off before connecting or disconnecting
the probe whenever possible.
The probe body should be kept clean
and free of any conductive
contamination.
Do not remove the probe casing.
Removal of the probe’s casing may
