INSTALLATION AND USE
PLACING THE PROBE HEAD
The probe head uses a SMB connector as its input. For mechanical stability and electrical
clearance it is always recommended to install a tripod in the probe head, making sure the the
tripod is made of plastic and not metal.
It is recommended to leave at least
15 mm
of air space around the probe for each kV that the
probe is floated. Increase this distance if faster than 15kV/us slew rates in the common mode
voltage are expected. The higher the spacing, the lower the common mode capacitance, which
lowers the current to earth provided by the measured circuit.
Do not use the probe for measurements on mains circuits. This probe and its attenuators are
not CAT rated for use on these types of circuits according to definitions of IEC/EN 61010-031.
The accessories provided by Saker for connecting the probe head to the DUT are compatible
with the touch protected SMB connector in the probe. Please refer to the accessories list.
RECEIVER-OSCILLOSCOPE CONNECTION
Connect the receiver to a measuring oscilloscope with the BNC cable.
