General Safety Summary

Review the following safety precautions to avoid injury and prevent

damage to this product or any products connected to it. To avoid

potential hazards, use product only as specified.

Only qualified personnel should perform service procedures.

Injury Precautions

Avoid Electric Overload. To avoid injury or fire hazard, do not apply

potential to any input, including the common inputs, that varies from

ground by more than the maximum rating for that input.

Avoid Electric Shock. To avoid injury, do not connect or disconnect

probes or test leads while they are connected to a voltage source.

Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere. To avoid injury or fire

hazard, do not operate this product in an explosive atmosphere.

Keep Probe Surface Clean and Dry. To avoid electric shock and

erroneous readings, keep probe surface clean and dry.

Product Damage Precautions

Do Not Operate With Suspected Failures. If you suspect there is damage

to this product, have it inspected by qualified service personnel.

Do Not Immerse in Liquids. Clean the probe using only a damp cloth.

Refer to Cleaning Instructions, page ii.

Features and Accessories

The P6112 Passive Probe is designed for use with a TDS 200 series

oscilloscope that has a bandwidth of 100 MHz or less.

The P6112 Passive Probe is listed with Underwriters Laboratories

Inc. and meets the requirements of UL 3111–1, ground referenced.

NOTE. Remove and discard the protective cover on the tip of the

probe before attempting to connect a probe tip accessory.

P6112 Features and Standard Accessories

BNC-to-Probe Tip Adapter – To install the adapter, push the wide

end firmly into a BNC connector. Then, insert the probe tip firmly into

the adapter.

Retractable Hook Tip – Use the retractable hook tip to make

hands-free measurements.

NOTE To ensure a proper connection, firmly twist the hook tip onto the

probe.

Marker Rings – To identify probe connections, attach matching

colored rings onto the probe cable and tip as shown.

Unlocked Locked

Locking Connector – Install the connector in the unlocked position

and turn it clockwise until it snaps into the locked position.

P6112 Features and Standard Accessories (Cont.)

Ground Lead – Use the alligator clip to attach the probe to a ground

reference. Attach matching marker ring as shown.

AdjustmentTool – Use the adjustment tool for probe compensation

adjustments.

Long Ground Lead

Short Ground Lead

To see the best signal, use the shortest possible ground lead and

signal path.

P6112 Instructions 3

Probe Compensation

Before taking any measurements using a probe, first check the

compensation of the probe and adjust the probe compensation to

match the channel input the probe is connected to.

NOTE. If you use a hook tip, ensure a proper connection by firmly

twisting the hook tip onto the probe.

1. Connect the probe to the Probe Comp signal on your TDS 200

series oscilloscope and then press AUTOSET.
