General Safety Information

Observe generally accepted safety procedures in addition to those listed

here to avoid personal injury or damage to equipment. The overall safety

of any system incorporating this accessory is the responsibility of the

assembler of the system.

Connect only to grounded instruments. Use only with compatible Teledyne LeCroy

oscilloscopes that have their BNC input connected to an earth ground. Do not

connect the probe reference lead to any point which is at a potential other than

earth ground.

Connect and disconnect properly. Connect probe to the oscilloscope before

connecting it to the test circuit. Disconnect the probe input and reference lead

from the test circuit before disconnecting from the oscilloscope. Do not connect

or disconnect probes while they are connected to a voltage source.

Do not overload. Do not apply any potential to the probe leads that exceeds the

maximum rating of the probe.

Always comply with the Voltage vs. Frequency Derating Curve.

Observe all terminal ratings. Observe all markings on the oscilloscope before

connecting. Consult the oscilloscope product manual for further ratings

information.

Do not remove probe casing. Touching exposed connections may result in

electric shock.

Do not excessively bend cables.

Use indoors only within operational environment listed. Do not use in wet or

explosive atmospheres. Keep product surfaces clean and dry.

Handle with care. Probe tips are extremely sharp and may puncture skin or

cause other bodily injury if not handled properly.

Keep fingers behind the finger guard of probe body and accessories.

Operator’s Manual

Do not operate with suspected failures. Before each use, inspect the probe and

accessories for any potential damage such as tears or other defects in the probe

body, cable jacket, accessories, etc. If any part is damaged, cease operation

immediately and sequester the probe from inadvertent use.

EC Declaration of Conformity

The product is marked with this symbol to indicate that it conforms to

the applicable European Union requirements per Low Voltage

Directive (LVD) 2006/95/EC. Compliance was demonstrated to the

following specification as listed in the Official Journal of the European

Communities:

IEC/EN 61010-031/A1:2008 Safety requirements for electrical equipment for

measurement, control and laboratory use – Part 031: Safety requirements for

handheld probe assemblies for electrical measurement and test.

EU RoHS Compliance

The probe and its accessories conform to the 2011/65/EU RoHS2 Directive, as

they have been classified as Industrial Monitoring and Control Equipment (per

Article 3, Paragraph 24) and are exempt from RoHS compliance until 22 July 2017

(per Article 4, Paragraph 3).

Disposal

The probe is marked with this symbol to indicate that it complies

with the applicable European Union requirements to Directives

2002/96/EC and 2006/66/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic

Equipment (WEEE) and Batteries.

This electronic product is subject to disposal and recycling

regulations that vary by country and region. Many countries

prohibit the disposal of waste electronic equipment in standard

waste receptacles. For more information about proper disposal and recycling of

your Teledyne LeCroy product, visit teledynelecroy.com/recycle.

Probe Compensation

Proper compensation of the probe is required to assure amplitude accuracy of

the waveform being measured by matching the probe to the oscilloscope’s input

capacitance. Compensation should be adjusted whenever the probe is connected

to or transferred between oscilloscopes.

1. Connect the sprung hook to the oscilloscope’s CAL OUT terminal and the

ground lead to the GND terminal. Connect the cable to any input channel.

2. Turn on the input channel and press AUTO SETUP.

3. Adjust the time base and channel Volts/div settings until the signal contains

two cycles as shown below.

4. Use the trimmer tool to adjust the low-frequency trimmer located on the

BNC Compensation Box until you achieve a flat-topped square wave like the

center illustration in the figure below.

CAUTION: Do not apply excessive pressure. The tip of the trimmer

is made of plastic and can break easily.

Operator’s Manual

Cleaning

•Clean only the exterior of the probe, cables, and accessories. Use a soft

cotton cloth moistened with a mild detergent and water solution. Do not

allow any portion of the probe to be submerged at any time.

•Dry the probe and accessory thoroughly before attempting to make any

voltage measurement.

•Do not subject the probe to solvents or solvent fumes as these can cause

deterioration of the probe body, cables, and accessories.
