Safety & Warnings
To avoid personal injury and to prevent fire or damage to the product or connected products, comply with the following safety precautions:
– Only qualified personnel should use the probe assembly.
– Use only grounded instruments.
– Do not connect the probe ground lead to a potential other than earth ground. Ensure the probe and measurement instrument are properly grounded.
– Connect the probe output to the measurement instrument and the ground lead to earth ground before connecting the probe to the circuit under test. Disconnect the probe input and ground lead from the circuit under test before disconnecting the probe from the measurement instrument.
– Observe probe and probe accessory ratings. Do not exceed the maximum ratings of the probe or connected accessories.
– Comply with the voltage versus frequency derating curve.
– Keep away from live circuits and avoid open circuitry. Do not touch connections or components when power is present.
– Do not operate with suspected failures. Refer to qualified service personnel.
– Indoor use only. Do not operate in wet/damp environments. Keep product surfaces dry and clean.
– Do not operate the product in an explosive atmosphere.
