The B & K-PRECISION Model HV-44 High-Voltage Probe manual provides instructions for setup, operation, and troubleshooting of the high-voltage meter, which is designed to measure DC voltages up to +40 kilovolts in TV sets. It emphasizes safety precautions during measurements, details the probe's specifications, and offers guidance on maintenance and warranty information.
Manual Overview
The B & K-Precision Model HV-44 High-Voltage Probe is a direct-reading meter designed for measuring DC voltages up to 40 kilovolts. It features a core magnet-type meter that is resistant to external magnetic influences and is encased in high-impact ABS plastic for durability and insulation. The probe is factory-calibrated at 25 kilovolts with an accuracy of ±2% at this voltage and ±3% overall. It includes interchangeable probe tips for different applications, such as accessing CRT anodes. For troubleshooting, ensure the ground lead is connected before measuring, and check for issues with the ground lead, probe tip, or dust accumulation if malfunctions occur. The probe is not designed for AC or negative voltages. Maintenance involves checking these components, and if problems persist, contacting B & K-Precision for service is recommended. The product comes with a one-year warranty against defects, provided it is used under normal conditions and not tampered with.
Quick Issues Covered
- Diagnose power-up failures by checking ground lead and probe tip.
- Calibration issues resolved by factory calibration at 25 kV.
- Schematics assist in circuit tracing with 600 megohm resistor details.
Overview
The B & K-Precision Model HV-44 is a high-voltage probe designed as a self-contained, direct-reading meter capable of measuring 0 to +40 kilovolts DC.

Operation
To use the B & K-Precision Model HV-44 high-voltage probe, follow these steps:
1. Connect the alligator ground clip to the chassis or ground side. Ensure the probe is free of dust and moisture.
2. Locate the high-voltage point on the picture tube or in the high-voltage compartment.
3. Touch the probe tip to the high-voltage point. Keep your free hand behind you and ensure the hand holding the probe does not contact any other point. Read the high voltage on the meter.
4. Measure only positive DC voltages, as the instrument is not designed for negative or AC voltages.

Safety & Warnings
ALWAYS CONNECT THE GROUND LEAD BEFORE MAKING ANY MEASUREMENTS. Always make measurements with one hand behind your back or in your pocket. Avoid contacting any exposed metal parts. Do not stand on wet floors. A dry piece of plastic is useful as a place to stand. In handling replacement CRT’s, remember many picture tubes have conductive coatings which can hold a charge long after the set is turned off.
