Safety

To maintain the probe in a correct and safe condition, observe generally accepted safety
procedures in addition to the precautions specified in this section. The overall safety of any
system incorporating this product is the responsibility of the assembler of the system.
These symbols appear on the probe and accessories or in this manual to alert you to
important safety considerations.

instrument if anti-static measures are not taken.

Precautions

WARNING. To avoid personal injury or damage due to electric shock or fire:
Do not handle probe tips, leads or any part of the amplifier if DC bus voltages are > 60 V.
Use stationary setup for measurements > 60V. If there is any question as to whether >60 V
voltages are present in the circuit, exercise caution and do not touch these components.
Do not use the probe for measurements on Mains circuits. The probe does not have a CAT
rating for use on circuits in Measurement Categories II, III or IV.
Do not overload; observe all terminal ratings. Do not apply any potential that exceeds the
maximum rating of the probe and/or the probe accessory, whichever is less.
Comply with the Voltage vs. Frequency derating curve.
Connect and disconnect properly. Always connect the probe input lead to the probe
accessories before connecting to a voltage source. Ensure the connections are secure
before applying voltage. Do not disconnect leads or accessories from a live circuit.
Keep the probe body and output cable away from the circuits being measured. Only
accessory tips are intended for contact with electrical sources.
Use only accessories compatible with the probe and rated for the application. Substituting
other accessories than those specified in this manual may create a shock /burn hazard.
Do not remove the probe's casing. Touching exposed connections may result in electric
shock or burn.
