Connecting the Probe

Signal Input Terminal
Precautions to Be Taken When Connecting Cables
Probes
IM 701450-01E
Connect the probe (or other input cables such as the BNC cable) to any of the input
terminals (4 terminals marked as CH1 to CH4 on the DL7440 and 8 terminals marked
CH1 to CH8 on the DL7480) at the bottom section of the front panel. The input
impedance is 1 MΩ±1.0% and approximately 20 pF or 50 Ω±1.0%.
• The maximum input voltage for 1-MΩ input is 400 V (DC + ACpeak) or 282
Vrms when the frequency is 1 kHz or less. Applying a voltage exceeding either
of the two values can damage the input section. If the frequency is above 1
kHz, damage may occur even when the voltage is below the value.
• The maximum input voltage for 50-Ω input is 5 Vrms or 10 Vpeak. Applying a
voltage exceeding either of the two values can damage the input section.

• When connecting a probe to the instrument for the first time, perform phase correction
of the probe as described in section 3.5, "Compensating the Probe (Phase
Correction)." Failure to do so will cause unstable gain across different frequencies,
thereby preventing correct measurement. Perform the phase correction on each
channel to which a probe is to be connected.
• Note that if the object being measured is directly connected to the instrument without
using a probe, correct measurements may not be possible due to loading effects.
