Safety Precautions
WARNING
This high voltage probe is designed to prevent accidental shock to
the operator when properly used. This user guide must be read and
understood prior to using the probe. Improper procedures or
incorrect analysis of the measurement situation can result in serious
shock.
If the probe is subjected to voltages over 15kV (DC +
AC peak) or
10 kV rms then DO NOT USE. The probe could potentially be
damaged. Return the probe immediately to a Keysight service
center for performance validation.
WARNING
This high voltage probe is designed for use within Measurement
Category I (CAT I) only. Do not use the probe for measurements
performed on circuits defined by any other measurement category or
transient overvoltages of more than 1500V. Refer to
Measurement Category Definitions"
measurement categories.
WARNING
Do not exceed 60 seconds of contact between the probe and
circuit-under-test when measuring voltages
≥
8 kV (DC) or
≥
5 kV
(AC, rms). Keysight recommends that an interval of 5 minutes be
taken between measurements.
WARNING
This high voltage probe must only be used by personnel who are
trained, experienced, or otherwise qualified to recognize hazardous
situations and who are trained in the safety precautions that are
necessary to avoid possible injury when using such a device.
WARNING
Do not work alone when working with high voltage circuits.
