Introduction
The PP011 is a miniature high impedance passive probe. Its high input resistance and low capacitance make it
ideal for general purpose probing of signals with frequency content from DC through several hundred MHz. The
PP011 has a large selection of connection accessories, supplied standard with the probe and available from
LeCroy as optional accessories.
The PP011 is designed for use with > 600 MHz LeCroy WaveSurfer oscilloscopes.

Measurement category I is for measurement performed on circuits not directly connected to a mains supply.
Measurement category II (CAT II) is for measurement performed on circuits directly connected to a low voltage
installation. This refers to local distribution level, applicable to equipment connected to the mains (AC power
source) through a power cable.
Pollution Degree 2 refers to an operating environment where normally only dry non-conductive pollution occurs.
Occasionally a temporary conductivity caused by condensation must be expected.
