Connecting the Probe to R&S Oscilloscopes
Shock hazard caused by high voltages
To avoid electric shock and personal injury, and to prevent damage to the
probe or any other products connected to it, make sure that the shell of the
BNC output connector is safely connected to earth ground.
Never connect the probe to the DUT before grounding is ensured!
Usually, the outer cable of the measuring instrument is connected to protec-
tive ground and ensures the grounding of the instrument and the probe.
If the probe is used together with an ungrounded instrument, the auxiliary
ground connector (4 mm banana plug) must be used to ground the probe.
Avoiding measurement errors
The probe must only be connected to measuring instruments with high-
impedance signal input (at least 10
k
Ω
termination). Do not use instruments
that have only 50
Ω
terminated inputs.
1. Connect the BNC output connector to an input channel of the oscilloscope.
Turn the collar until it clicks, and check that it is locked securely.
2. Make sure that the measuring instrument and the probe are grounded.
If you use a measuring instrument without grounded input, use the auxiliary
ground connector to ground the probe.
