calibration and your test setup.
Safety Information
To avoid personal injury and to prevent fire or damage to this product or products
connected to it, review and comply with the following safety precautions. Be aware that if
you use this probe assembly in a manner not specified, the protection this product provides
may be impaired. Only qualified personnel should use this probe assembly. Do not connect
the probe to any voltage that exceeds the maximum permissible input voltage specified in
the data sheet. Non-compliance with this instruction carries the risk of an electric shock.
Make sure not to cause any short circuits when performing measurements on sources with
high output currents. Short circuits may cause injuries or burns.
Risk of injury caused by pointed object
The pins of the probe are extremely pointed and can easily penetrate clothes and skin.
Therefore, handle the probe pins with great care. When transporting the probe, e.g. when
carrying it in a pocket or tool bag, always use the supplied case. To exchange a probe pin,
use tweezers or pliers to avoid injuries.
Use only grounded instruments
Do not connect the probe ground lead to a potential other than earth ground. Always make
sure the probe and the measurement instrument are grounded properly.
Observe probe ratings
Do not apply any electrical potential to the probe input which exceeds the maximum ratings
of the probe or the accessories connected to it. In a combination always the lower rating /
measurement category applies to both probe and accessories connected to it.
Do not operate with suspected failures
Refer to qualified service personnel.
Indoor use only
Do not operate in wet/damp environment. Keep product surfaces dry and clean. Do not
operate the product in an explosive atmosphere.
