The BK Precision manual provides instructions for setting up, operating, and troubleshooting the HV-44A high voltage probe, emphasizing safety precautions such as ensuring the probe is clean and dry, connecting the alligator clip to earth ground, and only measuring positive polarity DC voltages. It also includes specifications, such as a voltage range of 0 to +40 kV and input impedance of 600 megohms, and describes the probe's components like interchangeable tips and a direct-reading meter.
Manual Overview
The BK Precision HV-44A High Voltage Probe manual provides detailed instructions for troubleshooting, diagnostics, calibration, and safety precautions. The probe is designed to measure positive polarity DC high voltages up to 40 kV and includes two interchangeable contact tips for different applications. It features a direct-reading meter and a high-impact ABS case for durability and insulation. The probe is factory-calibrated at 25 kV and typically does not require recalibration under normal conditions. For troubleshooting, the manual emphasizes the importance of ensuring the probe is clean and dry, and that the test area is free of moisture and contaminants. Error diagnostics involve checking the probe’s connection to the earth ground and ensuring that only positive DC voltages are measured. Calibration adjustments are internal and factory-set. The manual provides board-level guidance on maintaining a safe distance from conductive parts and using the probe with one hand to prevent current flow across the chest. Safety is paramount, with instructions to always work with another person present and to follow additional safety guidelines from the device manufacturer.

Safety & Warnings
These steps outline the minimum, basic safety precautions that must be followed when using this high voltage probe. Before you use this instrument, read and thoroughly understand this information. You must have a thorough understanding of the hazards that may occur when working with high voltages and when using this probe. Failure to follow good safety practices could cause you serious personal harm, even death. Remember, high voltage kills if safety precautions are not followed!
1. Examine probe, make sure it is clean and dry. Dirt, moisture and grease can provide a creep path for voltage. If in doubt, wipe with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth.
2. Look at the condition of the floor in the test area. It must be dry, clean and free of oil. Never stand on a wet or damp floor.
3. Always connect the alligator clip of this probe to earth ground before taking any measurements.
4. Examine the entry to your high voltage test point. Make sure that you are able to bring the probe in to the test point. Also, make sure the tip is clear of wires, metal supports and other nearby conductive surfaces.
5. Only use this probe to measure positive polarity dc voltages. Never try to measure negative polarity dc voltages or ac voltages.
6. Verify that you are able to remain clear and avoid contact with any exposed metal and/or other conductive parts of the device being checked.
7. Only use one hand to hold the handle of the probe. Keep your free hand behind you, preferably in your hip pocket. This position helps avoid a situation where the voltage could flow across your chest should a mishap occur. Current flow across your chest is very damaging as it disturbs the rhythm of the heart.
8. Always work within sight and hearing of another person. If an accident occurs, you will be able to get aid quickly.
9. In addition to these safety instructions, follow those given by the manufacturer of the device being checked.
10. When handling a CRT, avoid touching the conductive coating before it’s discharged. Remember, it can hold a dangerous charge long after the set is turned off.
