To avoid any injury, do not use the probe under the condition that the voltage between both input leads and earth is above 1000 Vrms CAT III. This voltage rating applies to both probes and both settings 1/10 & 1/100 (RT-ZD002) and 1/20 & 1/200 (RT-ZD003).

Must be Grounded This probe is grounded with the shell of BNC connector and an auxiliary grounding terminal, through the grounding conductor of the power cord of the measurement instrument. Before making connections to the input leads of this probe, ensure that the output BNC connector is attached to the BNC connector of the measurement instrument and the measurement instrument is properly grounded.
Select the proper attenuation ratio. When measuring signals below 70 V or 140 V, switch the attenuation ratio to 1/10 (RT-ZD002) or 1/20 (RT-ZD003) in order to get higher resolution and less noise. Otherwise, set the attenuation ratio to 1/100 (RT-ZD002) or 1/200 (RT-ZD003) when measuring signals up to 700 V or 1400 V.
6. Available Power Sources • 4 x AA batteries • USB Power Cord, for oscilloscopes which offer USB connector. The supplied voltage must be less than 12 V and greater than 4.5 V, otherwise the probe could be damaged or can’t be operated properly. Polarity is “+”...
Connect the inputs of the probe to power lines, using an appropriate power socket to 4 mm adapter. e. Set the range of the probe to 1/100 (RT-ZD002) or 1/200 (RT-ZD003). f. Then, a 50 Hz/ 60 Hz sine-wave of proper amplitude will be displayed on the screen of the oscilloscope and this means the probe is working properly.
