using the oscilloscopes' bandwidth limit to reduce the high frequency noise.
Safe Probing
This device is designed to comply with Safety Standards and has been thoroughly tested for safety
prior to shipment. However, mishandling during use could result in injury, as well as damage to the
device. Be certain that you understand the instructions and precautions in the manual before use.
We disclaim any responsibility for accidents or injuries not resulting directly from device defects.
To avoid short circuits and potential hazards, follow these warnings and precautions:
•
Never attach the probe to a circuit that operates over the maximum rated voltage to earth.
•
While connected to, and measuring, a live circuit do not touch the Alligator Clips / Gripper Clips /
Test Hooks or the conductor being measured.
•
Be careful to avoid damaging the DUT conductor insulation while taking measurements.
•
Make sure that the oscilloscope connected to this device's output BNC connector is equipped with
protective earthing with double-insulation construction.
•
Do not allow the T3LVD probe to get wet, and do not take measurements with wet hands. This may
cause an electric shock.
•
Read and observe all warnings and precautions relating to electrical safety for the measuring
instrument (typically an oscilloscope) being connected to the probe.
•
Do not store or use the probe where it could be exposed to direct sunlight, high temperature,
humidity, or condensation. Under such conditions, the probe may be damaged and insulation may
deteriorate so that it no longer meets specifications.
•
Before using the probe for the first time, verify that it operates normally to ensure that no damage
has occurred during storage or shipping. If you find any damage, contact your dealer or a Teledyne
LeCroy representative.
•
This device is not designed to be water or dust proof. To avoid damage, do not use it in a wet or
dusty environment.
•
To avoid damaging the probe cable and power supply cable, do not excessively bend or pull the
cables.
•
When performing continuous measurements, it is necessary to be aware that the offset voltage
may drift, depending on factors such as the ambient temperature and probe temperature.
•
Accurate measurements may be impossible in locations subject to strong external magnetic fields,
such as transformers and high-current conductors, or in locations subject to strong external electric
or magnetic fields, such as radio transmission equipment.
