Cautions
Cautions
In addition to the CAUTION notices below, also refer to the CAUTION
notices listed in each section of this book.
C A U T I O N Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can quickly and imperceptibly damage or destroy
high-performance probes, resulting in costly repairs. Always wear a wrist strap
when handling probe components.
C A U T I O N Probes are sensitive devices and should be treated with care. Do not bend or kink
the probe amplifier cable. Do not drop heavy objects on the probe, drop the probe
from large heights, spill liquids on the probe, etc. Any of these examples can
significantly degrade the performance of the probe.
C A U T I O N Whenever you disconnect a probe head from an InfiniiMax amplifier, pull the probe
head connectors straight out of the sockets. When connecting a probe head to an
amplifier, push straight in also. Never bend the probe head in order to “pop” it loose
from the amplifier. Also, do not wiggle the probe head up and down or twist it to
remove the connectors from the sockets. This can damage the pins in the amplifier
or the probe head itself.
C A U T I O N When storing the probe, it is best to coil the cable in a large radius and avoid a net
twist in the cable during the process. This can be done in a similar manner to how
garden hoses or extension cords are typically coiled.
C A U T I O N InfiniiMax I and II probe heads cannot be used with InfiniiMax III probe amplifiers
and InfiniiMax III probe heads cannot be used with InfiniiMax I and II amplifiers.
C A U T I O N Always remove the probe head from the device under test (DUT) before
disconnecting the probe amp from the oscilloscope.
