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 this product only as specified.
Only qualified personnel should perform service procedures.
While using this product, you may need to access other parts of a larger system.
Read the safety sections of the other component manuals for warnings and
cautions related to operating the system.
To Avoid Fire or Personal Injury
Ground-Referenced Oscilloscope Use Only. Do not float the output of this probe.
The output cable must be connected to an earth-referenced (0 V) oscilloscope.
Avoid Electric Shock. When using probe accessories, never exceed the lowest
rating of the probe or its accessory, whichever is less, including the measurement
category and voltage rating.
Inspect The Probe And Accessories. Before each use, inspect probe and accessories
for damage (cuts, tears, defects in the probe body, accessories, cable jacket, etc.).
Do not use if damaged.
Connect and Disconnect Properly. When using the probe or accessories, keep
fingers behind the finger guard of probe body and accessories.
Connect and Disconnect Properly. Do not connect or disconnect probes or test
leads while they are connected to a voltage source.

General Safety Summary
Connect and Disconnect Properly. Connect the probe output to the measurement
instrument before connecting the probe to the circuit under test. Connect the
probe input leads one at a time. Make sure accessories are fully mated before
connecting and disconnecting. Disconnect the probe input leads one at a time
from the circuit under test before disconnecting the probe output from the
measurement instrument.
Observe All Terminal Ratings. To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all ratings
and markings on the product. Consult the product manual for further ratings
information before making connections to the product. Do not apply a potential to
any terminal, including the common terminal, that exceeds the maximum rating
of that terminal.
Avoid Electric Overload. To avoid injury or fire hazard, do not apply potential to
any input, including the reference inputs, that varies from ground by more than
the maximum rating for that input.
Do Not Operate Without Covers. Do not operate this product with covers or panels
removed.
Do Not Operate With Suspected Failures. If you suspect that there is damage to this
product, have it inspected by qualified service personnel.
Avoid Exposed Circuitry. Do not touch exposed connections and components
when power is present.

Compliance Information
Pollution Degree Description
A measure of the contaminants that could occur in the environment around
and within a product. Typically the internal environment inside a product is
considered to be the same as the external. Products should be used only in the
environment for which they are rated:
Pollution Degree 1. No pollution or only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs.
Products in this category are generally encapsulated, hermetically sealed, or
located in clean rooms.
Pollution Degree 2. Normally only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs.
Occasionally a temporary conductivity that is caused by condensation must
be expected. This location is a typical office/home environment. Temporary
condensation occurs only when the product is out of service.
Pollution Degree 3. Conductive pollution, or dry, nonconductive pollution that
becomes conductive due to condensation. These are sheltered locations where
neither temperature nor humidity is controlled. The area is protected from
direct sunshine, rain, or direct wind.
Pollution Degree 4. Pollution that generates persistent conductivity through
conductive dust, rain, or snow. Typical outdoor locations.
Pollution Degree
Pollution Degree 2 (as defined in IEC 61010-1). Note: Rated for indoor use only.

Installation
Installation
This booklet describes the installation and safe use of the probe and accessories.
For more information, refer to the THDP0100/0200 & TMDP0200 High Voltage
Differential Probes Instruction Manual on the documentation CD.
Connecting the Probe to the Oscilloscope
To connect the probe to the oscilloscope, align the probe to the input channel and
push in the probe until it latches into place.
To disconnect the probe, first disconnect the probe from the circuit. Next, press
the release button on the probe, and then pull the probe straight out.
12

Installation
Connecting the Probe to the Circuit
The integral input leads on the probe extend 10 in (25 cm) from the probe body.
Connect the leads directly to your circuit, or use the extender leads and the
accessories that are included with the probe. (See page 14, Standard Accessories.)
WARNING. To reduce risk of shock or fire, use only the accessories provided with
the probe. Do not exceed either the voltage rating or category ratings (for example,
CAT I, II, III, IV) of the probe or the probe accessory, whichever is the lesser of the
two. Refer to the tables on the following pages for the correct accessory to use with
your probe. When using multiple accessories (for example, the extender leads &
hook clips), the lowest accessory/probe ratings apply to all.
To avoid electric shock, keep your fingers behind the finger guard of the probe
accessory and away from the shaded area shown in the accessory illustrations on
the following pages.
To avoid electrical shock or fire, keep the probe body and output cable of the probe
away from the circuits being measured. The probe body and output cable are not
intended to be in contact with the circuits being measured.
