Guard Probe Body. The probe body is designed for personal
safety, ergonomic comfort, and signal fidelity. The
body is rated for the maximum input voltage of the
P5210 probe.
The probe tip is a 6–32 threaded post that accepts the
hook tips provided with the probe.
The finger guard provides protection when the hook
tips are not being used. Keep your fingers behind the
finger guard whenever possible to reduce the risk of a
shock from the circuit under test.
Use only accessories that are rated for the application.
Substitution of other accessories may create a shock or
burn hazard.
Keep the probe body and accessories clean to reduce
the risk of shock due to surface conduction. Refer to
page 16 for cleaning instructions.
Small Hook Tip. Use the small hook tip for making con-
nections to small conductors such as component leads.
The hook tip is rated for the maximum input voltage of
the P5210 probe.
Install the small hook tip by sliding it over the body of
the probe and screwing it onto the threaded probe tip
.
To use the tip, hold the probe body and pull the tip
shield back. Hook the tip onto the circuit and release
the shield.
