General Information

Read This Before Using Your Probe

Your probe has been designed to provide years of uninterrupted service. Excellent
performance at high frequencies requires the use of very small and delicate
devices. Such components can be damaged by careless use.

Maximum rated input voltage

It is vital that the following specifications are not exceeded:
– Maximum DC input voltage (without 10:1 divider): ±50 V
– Maximum DC input voltage through a 10:1 divider: ±50 V
– Maximum RF voltage (without 10:1 divider): 1.5 V peak
– Maximum RF voltage through a 10:1 divider: 15 V peak
To minimize the potential for damage, always begin measurements with the 10:1
divider attached.
Remove the 10:1 divider only when both of the following conditions are met:
– RF and DC levels are known to be less than or equal to the rated input voltage.
– Higher sensitivity is required than is possible with the 10:1 divider attached.
When the probe is stored, attach the 10:1 divider and place the anti-static
protection cap over the probe tip.
