Safety Instructions

Follow generally accepted safety procedures in addition to the precautions

specified in this section. The overall safety of any system incorporating this

accessory is the responsibility of the assembler of the system.

Symbols

These terms and symbols may appear on the probe body or in this manual to

alert you to important safety considerations.

High Voltage WARNING, risk of electric shock or burn.

CAUTION of potential damage to equipment, or WARNING of

potential injury. Attend to the accompanying information to protect

against personal injury or damage. Do not proceed until conditions

are fully understood and met.

DOUBLE INSULATION

PROTECTIVE (EARTH) TERMINAL

Precautions

To avoid personal injury or damage to property, review and comply with the

following safety precautions. Use product only as specified.

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 the probe to the test circuit. Disconnect the probe input and

reference lead from the test circuit before disconnecting the probe from the

oscilloscope. To avoid injury or death due to electric shock, do not connect or

disconnect probes or probe accessories while they are connected to a

voltage source.

PP016 Passive Probe

Do not overload;observe all terminal ratings. To avoid electric shock or fire,

do not apply any potential to the probe leads that exceeds the maximum

rating of the probe. Consult the respective oscilloscope product manual for

further ratings information.

Comply with voltage derating curve. When measuring higher frequency

signals, comply with the Voltage vs. Frequency Derating Curve.

Do not remove probe casing. Removing the probe’s case or touching exposed

connections may result in electric shock.

Use only within operational environment listed. Use indoors only. Do not use

in wet or explosive atmospheres. Keep product surfaces clean and dry.

Use only accessories compatible with the probe.

Handle with care. The probe tip is 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.

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.

Introduction

PP016 is a passive probe designed to be used with Teledyne LeCroy

WaveAce oscilloscopes.

Keep fingers behind the probe’s finger guard during use.

Rated for indoor use only. Do not operate where conductive pollutants

may be present.

Maximum input voltage derates when frequency response is

approximately 30 kHz or higher. See voltage derating curve on p.4.

Use and Maintenance

Cleaning

The outside of the probe should cleaned with a soft cloth dampened with

either deionized / distilled water or isopropyl alcohol. Allow the surface to

dry completely before returning the probe to service. Never immerse the

probe in any liquid.

Probe Compensation

Proper compensation of the probe is required to assure good amplitude

accuracy in the dynamic portions of the waveform being measured. LF

compensation matches the probe to differences in oscilloscope input

capacitance. The LF compensation should always be checked and adjusted

as needed when first connecting a passive probe to the oscilloscope input.

HF compensation matches time constants within the probe to compensate

for normal component tolerances. It is typically not necessary to adjust HF

compensation unless the probe is being used with an oscilloscope with large

differences in input characteristics than the oscilloscope model it was

designed for.

LF compensation is performed by connecting the input of the probe to a low

frequency square wave, such as the oscilloscope calibrator signal set to 1

kHz. The compensation is adjusted by rotating the adjustment accessible

through the small hole in the center of the housing near the BNC connector.

Use the tool supplied with the probe for this adjustment.

Over-compensated, correct, and under-compensated waveforms

Certifications

Teledyne LeCroy certifies compliance to the following standards as of the

date of publication. See the EC Declaration of Conformity shipped with the

product for current certifications.

EC Declaration of Conformity - Safety

The probe meets intent of EC Directive 2014/35/EU for Product Safety.

Compliance was demonstrated to the following specifications as listed in the

Official Journal of the European Communities:

IEC/EN 61010-031:2015 Safety requirements for electrical equipment for

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

handheld probe assemblies for electrical measurement and test.

•Measurement Category II (CAT II) refers to measurements performed

on circuits directly connected to utilization points (socket outlets and

similar) of the low-voltage mains installation.

•Pollution Degree 2, operating environment where normally only dry

non-conductive pollution occurs. Conductivity caused by temporary

condensation should be expected.

Environmental Compliance

END-OF-LIFE HANDLING

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

with the applicable European Union requirements to Directives

2012/19/EU and 2013/56/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic

Equipment (WEEE) and Batteries.

The probe 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, please
