Read This Before Using Your Probe
Your probe has been designed to provide years of uninterrupted service. Excellent performance at high
frequencies requires the use of very small and delicate devices. Such components can be damaged by
careless use.
Input Voltage Tolerances
It is vital that the following specifications are not exceeded:
• Maximum safe DC input voltage (without 10:1 divider): ±50 V
• Maximum safe DC input voltage through a 10:1 divider: ±200 V
• Maximum safe RF voltage (without 10:1 divider): 1.5 V peak
• Maximum safe RF voltage through a 10:1 divider: 15 V peak
To minimize the potential for damage, always begin measurements with the 10:1 divider attached.
Remove the 10:1 divider
only when both of the following conditions are met:
• RF and DC levels are known to within the above tolerances.
• Higher sensitivity is required than is possible with the 10:1 divider attached.
When the probe is stored, attach the 10:1 divider and place the anti-static protection cap over the probe
tip.
