2. General Sa ety Summary
Review the following safety preca tions to avoid inj ry and prevent damage to this probe or
any prod cts that connected to it.
O b serve Maxi mum Working Voltage
To avoid any inj ry, do not se the probe nder the condition that the voltage between
either inp t head or earth is above ± 40V (DC + peak AC).
Must be Grounded
This probe is gro nded with the shell of BNC connector, thro gh the gro nding cond ctor of
the power cord of the meas rement instr ment. Before making connections to the inp t
leads of this probe, ens re that the o tp t BNC connector is attached to the BNC connector
of the meas rement instr ment, while the probe is properly gro nded.
Do Not Operate Without Covers
To avoid electric shock or fire hazard, do not operate this probe with covers removed.
Do Not Operate in Wet/Damp Conditions
To avoid electric shock, do not operate this probe in wet of damp conditions.
Do Not Operate in Explosive Atmosphere
To avoid inj ry or fire hazard, do not operate this probe in an explosive atmosphere.
Avoid Exposed Circuit
To avoid inj ry, remove jewelry s ch as rings, watches, and other metallic objects. Do not
to ch exposed connections and components when power is present.
Use Proper Power Source
To ens re this probe f nction well, se one 9V battery or mains adapter with 5VDC/200mA
or 9VDC/150mA. The probe also can be powered by different power leads. Do not operate
this probe from a power so rce that applies more than the voltage specified.
Do Not Operated With Suspected Failures
If yo s spect there is damage to this probe, have it inspected by q alified service
personnel.
Cleaning
Use a soft cloth to clean the dirt. Prevent damage to probe. Avoid immersing the probe.
Avoid sing abrasive cleaners. Avoid sing chemicals contains benzene or similar solvents.

3. Description
4. Installation
With high bandwidth, this active 10:1 probe is ideal for timing analysis or tro bleshooting of
high speed logic and for design verification of disk drive, as well as for wireless and data
comm nication design.
a. Simply pl g-in the BNC o tp t connector to the vertical inp t of an oscilloscope
or other meas rement instr ment with 50Ohm inp t resistance.
The instr ment m st have a gro nd reference.
b. Connect an appropriate power so rce to this probe or enter the batteries, then t rn it on.
c. To se the probe with batteries, first slide open the battery compartment on the rear of
the probe ho sing and insert the 9V battery
d. Yo can also se the s pplied mains adapter or the optional USB-, PROBUS
or LEMO-power leads.
WARNING To protect against electric shock, se only the
accessories s pplied with this probe or the optional
offered TESTEC accessories.
Using the appropriate probe accessories, connect the inp ts to the circ its nder
meas rement.
CAUTION. This probe is to carry o t meas rement
between two points on the circ it nder meas rement.
This probe is not for electrically ins lating the circ it
nder meas rement and the meas ring instr ment.

6. Inspection Procedure
a. Connect the BNC o tp t connector to the vertical inp t of a proper gro nded oscilloscope
with 50Ohm inp t resistance.
b. T rn on the probe by sing the switch on the power nit.
c. Set the oscilloscope inp t co pling to DC and to 0.5V/div. Center the trace on the display.
d. Connect the inp t pins of the probe to a f nction generator and select a sq are-wave o tp t
of 10V amplit de and 100kHz freq ency.
e. Then, a 100kHz sq are-wave of 1V amplit de will be displayed on the screen of the
oscilloscope and this means the probe is working properly
If the offset voltage is too large, short the inp ts and t rn the variable resistor
(DC voltage adj stment) which yo find in the hole of the probe head by sing a flat-head
screwdriver ntil the offset voltage is lowest.
