Observe maximum input voltage
To avoid electric shock and personal injury, observe the following limits:
●
The maximum input voltage for DC signals is ±60 V between each sig-
nal socket and the ground socket.
●
The maximum effective input voltage for AC signals is 30 V (eff)
between each signal socket and the ground socket. The maximum tran-
sient peak voltage is ±42.4 V.
●
The maximum input voltage is derated for higher frequencies. Refer to
the "R&S

RT-Zxx High Bandwidth Probes" data sheet for further infor-
mation.
