Spare parts, replacement parts and repairs are warranted for 90 days. In exercising its warranty, Teledyne Lecroy, at its option, will either repair or replace any assembly returned within its warranty period to the Customer Service Department or an authorized service center. However, this will be done only if the product is determined by Teledyne Lecroy’s examination to be defective due to workmanship or...
AP031 Probe Safety Instructions This section contains instructions that must be observed to keep this oscilloscope accessory operating in a correct and safe condition. You are required to follow generally accepted safety procedures in addition to the precautions specified in this section. The overall safety of any system incorporating this accessory is the responsibility of the assembler of the system.

Operator’s Manual Precautions To avoid personal injury or damage to property, review and comply with the following safety precautions. Use product only as specified. The probe is designed to make differential voltage measurements. It is not to be used to insulate the circuit under test from the measuring instrument.

If any part is damaged, cease operation immediately and sequester the probe from inadvertent use. Introduction The AP031 is a fully differential active probe designed for applications where electrical signals must be measured relative to a floating voltage different to the oscilloscope ground potential.

Operator’s Manual voltage is calculated within the probe, with only the resultant difference signal being passed to the oscilloscope, a large dynamic range can be achieved with excellent rejection of common mode signals. Figure 1 923064-00 Rev A 1.800.561.8187 information@itm.com www.
Operator’s Manual Electrical Ratings Maximum Input Voltage 1000 V rms (1400 V DC + peak AC) Installation (Overvoltage) Category Pollution Degree Measurement Category III (CAT III) is applicable for measurements performed in the building installation. Pollution Degree 2 is applicable to an operating environment where normally only dry non-conductive pollution occurs.

AP031 Probe Voltage vs. Frequency Derating NOTE: The voltage vs frequency derating curve provides the maximum voltage that can be applied to the probe inputs without risking damage to the probe or injury to the user from possible burns at higher frequencies.
To ensure the oscilloscope correctly interprets the vertical waveform scale be sure to adjust the probe attenuation setting using the ‘Probe Atten’ menu controls. The example shown, x100 probe attenuation, would achieve correct vertical scaling AP031 operating with a maximum range of ± 700 V.
The AP031 series probes utilize fine-pitch surface mount devices. It is, therefore, impractical to attempt repair in the field. Defective probes must be returned to a Teledyne LeCroy service facility for diagnosis and exchange. A defective probe under warranty will be replaced with a factory refurbished probe.
