Operating Basics

To help you use the High Voltage Differential Probe safely and
effectively, this section provides important information about safety
limits, operating characteristics, and probing techniques.

WARNING.

Due to the inherent hazards associated with taking

high

-

voltage measurements, the product is intended for use by

qualified personnel who have had the training to make these types of
measurements. Read and follow the precautions specified in this
manual.

Before you make any oscilloscope measurement, observe all safety
precautions described in the user and service manuals for the
equipment you are working on. Some general rules about using and
servicing electrical equipment are worth repeating here.

H

Observe the safety instruction symbols for the equipment you are
working on.

H

Consult the instruction or service manuals for the equipment you
are working on.

H

Don’t operate or service an electrical device in an explosive
atmosphere.

H

Avoid personal injury by never touching exposed connections or
components in the circuit-under-test when the power is on.

Operating the Probe Safely

Before connecting the inputs of the probe to a circuit, read the safety
information in this section, and attach the appropriate accessories to
the input connectors of the probe.
