Using InfiniiMax III+ Series Probes
To Avoid Damaging the Probe
In this section, you'll learn to properly handle your probes to prevent damage and
maintain high performance. For more safe-handling information, go to

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can quickly and imperceptibly damage or destroy
CAUTION
high-performance probes, resulting in costly repairs. Always wear a wrist strap when
handling probe components.
Probes are sensitive devices and should be treated with care. Do not bend or kink the
CAUTION
probe amplifier cable. Do not drop heavy objects on the probe, drop the probe from
large heights, spill liquids on the probe, etc. Any of these examples can significantly
degrade the performance of the probe.
When storing the probe, it is best to coil the cable in a large radius and avoid a net
CAUTION
twist in the cable during the process. This can be done in a similar manner to how
garden hoses or extension cords are typically coiled.
InfiniiMax I and II probe heads cannot be used with Infiniimax III+ probe amplifiers and
CAUTION
InfiniiMax III+ probe heads cannot be used with InfiniiMax I and II amplifiers.
Never allow the probe head to be connected to the probe amplifer, if the probe

amplifier is not connected to the oscilloscope channel.
Always disconnect an N2836A or N5441A solder-in probe head from the probe

amplifier before unsoldering, moving to a new position, and resoldering the head.
Using a static-safe work station
InfiniiMax probes and accessories are ESD sensitive devices and should be treated
with care. Before using or handling the probe or accessories, always wear a
grounded ESD wrist strap and ensure that cables and probe heads are discharged
before being connected.
All work, including connecting probe amplifiers to the oscilloscope, should be
performed at a static-safe work station as shown in
