HVFO108 High-Voltage Fiber Optically Isolated Probe
2
EAR99 technology subject to restrictions on copyrights page.
Except for gain accuracy adjustment, do not remove the probe's casing
. Touching exposed
connections may result in electric shock.
Use only indoors and
within the operational environment listed.
Do not use in wet or explosive
atmospheres.
Keep product surfaces clean and dry.
Handle with care.
Probe tips are sharp and may cause injury if not handled properly.
Do not disassemble the probe body or remove inside parts.
There are no user replaceable parts.
Refer all service to qualified personnel.
Do not operate with suspected failures
. Before each use, inspect the probe and accessories for
damage such as tears or other defects in the body, cable jacket, etc. If any part is damaged,
cease operation immediately and sequester the probe from inadvertent use.
High Voltage Precautions
To avoid injury or death due to electric shock or burn:
Do not handle probe tips, leads or any part of the amplifier/modulating transmitter at any time if
DC bus voltages are >60 V.
The probe is not rated for hand-held use above 60 V. If there is any
question as to whether >60 V voltages are present in the circuit, use caution and DO NOT touch
these components.
Always ensure that, when not hand-held, the amplifier/modulating transmitter and attached tip
are positioned to maintain adequate spacing between these two components and earth ground.
Some of the probe components float at the common-mode voltage and some do not. The
spacing requirements depend on the common-mode voltage present in the test setup.
Battery Precautions
To avoid personal injury or property damage due to explosion or fire, follow all warnings
listed in Appendix A: Battery Safety and Handling. Most importantly:
•
Do not disassemble or modify the probe or the internal battery. The Lithium polymer
battery contained in the probe body is not user replaceable. Return the probe to
Teledyne LeCroy Service if the battery needs to be serviced or replaced.
•
Do not heat the probe, or use it near heat sources or in excessive heat.
•
Do not expose the probe to static electricity or excessive voltage.
•
Do not throw, hit or step on the probe or otherwise cause mechanical stress.
•
Do not reverse-charge or otherwise reverse the battery polarity.
