Safety Precautions
To safely operate this product and to fully utilize its functionality, strictly observe
the following cautions.
This product complies with the requirements stated in measurement categories I
and II, and pollution degree 2 defined in IEC61010-031.
If this probe is operated in a manner not specified in this manual, this may cause
the protection capability of this product to lessen.
Additionally, YOKOGAWA shall not be held responsible for defects arising
from negligence of such warning and caution, and also shall not guarantee the
product in such case.
Before using this probe, thoroughly read the instruction manual for measuring
instrument to fully understand the specifications and handling precautions for
safe and correct operation.
WARNING
• Grounding of the measuring instrument
The protective grounding terminal of the measuring instrument
must be connected to ground.
• Ground lead of the probe
Make sure to connect the ground lead of the probe to the ground
(ground potential).
• Connecting the object of measurement
Make sure to avoid an electric shock when connecting the probe
to the object of measurement. Do not remove the probe from
the measuring instrument after the object of measurement is
connected.
• Do not operate with suspected failures
If you suspect that there is damage to this probe, have it inspect
by a service personnel.
• Maximum input voltage
Do not apply any voltages exceeding the maximum input voltage
to the probe.
• Do not operate in wet/damp conditions
To avoid electric shock, do not operate this probe in wet or damp
conditions.
• Do not operate in explosive atmosphere
To avoid injury or fire hazard, do not operate this probe in an
explosive atmosphere.
• Avoid exposed circuitry
To avoid injury, remove jewelry such as rings, watches, and
other metallic objects. Do not touch exposed connections and
components when power is present.
• Observe maximum working voltage
When the oscilloscope’s input coupling is AC, DC voltage of
the same electric potential as the probe’s input is applied to the
oscilloscope’s input. Make sure not to exceed the oscilloscope’s
maximum input voltage.
