faites-le inspecter par le personnel de service autorisé de B&K
Precision.
When it is likely that the ground protection is impaired, you must
make the instrument inoperative and secure it against any unintended
operation.
Lorsqu’il est probable que la protection au sol soit altérée, vous
devez rendre l’instrument inopérant et le sécuriser contre tout
fonctionnement intempestif.
The probe and its cables are sensitive parts and therefore, you
should be careful not to damage them though excessive bending
or pulling. Avoid any mechanical shocks to the probe to guarantee
accurate performance and protection.
La sonde et ses câbles sont des pièces sensibles et, par conséquent,
vous devez faire attention à ne pas les endommager en les pliant ou
en tirant excessivement. Évitez tout choc mécanique sur la sonde
pour garantir des performances et une protection précises.

Introduction
The B&K PrecisionPR65 Series High-Voltage Dierential probes allow conventional earth-grounded
oscilloscopes to be used for oating signal measurements - up to 700 V dierential or common mode
voltage (PR65) and up to 1400 V dierential or common mode voltage (PR 67).
Each model oers user selectable attenuation setting of 10x & 100x (PR65) and 20x & 200x (PR 67),
making both probes highly versatile and usable for a broad range of applications including power supply
measurements and moter controls.
Both probes are compatible with any oscilloscope with a 1 MΩ BNC female input and feature up to 30
MHz of bandwidth. The probes can be powered by any oscilloscope USB port, internal batteries (4 AA
batteries included with the probe), or included mains power adapter. Figure 3.1 shows some key features
of the PR65 Series probe.

les crochets de sonde fournis avec cette sonde
Step 8. After conrming that the probe operator is not touching the device under test, turn on the high-
voltage source.
Step 9. Measure the voltage under test and observe the waveform on the oscilloscope.
Remember the actual voltage is the attenuation factor greater than
the oscilloscope waveform.
N’oubliez pas que la tension réelle est le facteur d’atténuation
supérieur à la forme d’onde de l’oscilloscope.
Step 10. Turn o high voltage source.
Step 11. Disconnect the probe inputs from the high-voltage source.
