Getting Started

To safely install and functionally check the P5200 High Voltage
Differential Probe, follow the procedures in this section.

Installation

Install the P5200 probe as follows:
1. Connect the output of the probe to the BNC input of the oscilloscope
or other measurement instrument. The measurement instrument
input must have a ground reference.
2. Connect the AC adapter to the jack located on the output lead of
the probe.
3. Connect the AC adapter to the proper line voltage. The green power
LED on the probe should light.
4. Adjust the vertical offset (or position) of the measurement
instrument input.
5. Select the proper range setting. For higher resolution and less noise
when measuring signals below 130 V, switch the attenuation to
1/50. If the overrange indicator lights or flashes, the output signal
may not be accurate. Use the 1/500 setting instead.
6. Set the volts per division setting on the measurement instrument to
the range indicated in the table on the front panel of the probe.
WARNING.
when working with voltages above 60 VDC or 30 VAC
levels pose a shock hazard. Make sure that the test leads are in good
condition. Use only the accessories supplied with the P5200 probe.
7. Using the appropriate probe accessories, connect the inputs of the
probe to the voltage source.
