N2830A-Series Probes
Handling Guide
Many scopes including Keysight’s 90000X series have a front-panel
ground socket. You can plug the wrist strap into the ground socket
as seen in the following picture.

The static-safe work station shown in Figure 1 uses two types of
ESD protection:
■
Conductive table-mat and wrist-strap combination.
■
Conductive floor-mat and heel-strap combination.
Both types, when used together, provide a significant level of ESD
protection. Of the two, only the table-mat and wrist-strap
combination provides adequate ESD protection when used alone.
To ensure user safety, the static-safe accessories must provide at
least 1 M
Ω
of isolation from ground. Purchase acceptable ESD
accessories from your local supplier.
WARNING These techniques for a static-safe work station should not be used when
working on circuitry with a voltage potential greater than 500 volts.
