6. Interface Spring Pins
When the probe interface is connected, it touches the pad on the interface
board of the oscilloscope. The probe's power and offset voltage are supplied
through this interface component. It also automatically recognizes the probe
type.
7. Latch Release Lever
Release the lock when connecting the probe interface to the oscilloscope
input.
If the waveform measuring instrument to be connected to the output
terminal (BNC) of this probe has other measuring terminals, the probe's
connection terminals and internal circuits may become hazardous live
depending on the types of devices that are connected to the instrument's
measuring terminals.
To avoid this, note the following:
• Ensure that basic insulation equivalent to that of the circuit under test
in terms of measurement category, operational voltage, and pollution
degree is used between the measuring terminal to which the probe is
connected and other measuring terminals.
• If the basic insulation across measuring terminals does not meet this
requirement, do not apply an input exceeding the safety voltage level to
any of the other measuring terminals.
• Always ground the measuring instrument.
• Take care to avoid electric shock whenever connecting the probe
to a measuring terminal. Also, never disconnect the probe from the
measuring instrument while the probe is connected to the circuit under
test.
• Before connecting the probe to the circuit under test, confirm that the
measuring instrument is correctly grounded, and that the probe interface
is properly connected to the measuring instrument's input.
• Make sure to read all safety precautions and warnings such as
information concerning electric shock for any instruments to which the
probe will be connected.
To clean the instrument, wipe using a soft cloth with a small amount of
water or mild detergent. Never use detergents that contain benzine,
alcohol, acetone, ethyl compounds, ketones, thinner, or gasoline as
deformation or discoloration can result.
