SAFETY NOTES 

 

Do not connect or disconnect sensor cables or attenuators in the probe head while they are 
connected to a voltage source to avoid the risk of shock. 

Remember that all metallic parts in the probe head are at the same potential 

This product is not intended for detection of hazardous voltages. 

The probe head is not meant to be used as a handheld unit 

Do not use the probe for measurements on mains circuits as it is not CAT rated. 

Do not use in wet or explosive atmospheres. 

Do not connect the probe or attenuators to any circuit that exceeds the probe ratings 

The probe can be floated at very high voltages, please consider all clearances before making 
any measurements 

Do not open the probe head or receiver, they do not contain user-serviceable parts inside 

Fiber cables can break if bent at sharp angles, take care not to trip over the fiber cable that 
joins both receiver and probe head 

The unit contains electrooptical components, do not shock or drop the probe onto the floor 

It is always recommended that the probe head be installed over a tripod mount and secured 

When  manually  positioning  the  probe  head  keep  in  mind  the  unit  is  physically  joined  to  the 
receiver unit, moving the probe head may send the receiver into the floor
