Simpson 260 Series - PROBES; Using High Voltage Probes; DC High Voltage Probe Specifications

Introduction
WARNING
High voltage probes and test prod adapters provide a
convenient and economical means of extending the
voltage range of the 260. They are intended for high
voltage measurements in low power, consumer type
products such as TV receivers, oscilloscopes, burner
ignition systems and the like. They are NOT intended
for and should NOT be used for measurements in high
power circuitry such as power substations or distribution
centers, RF induction heaters or broadcast transmitters,
X-ray equipment or the like where an operator error may
create a dangerous condition.

Accessory DC High Voltage Probes
The DC high voltage probes are designed for use with the
Simpson 260 Series 7P or any 20,000 ohms per volt VOM having
a 2.5 volt DC range and scale graduations from 0-10 or multiple
thereof for the 10 kV probe, 0-50 or multiple thereof for the
40 kV probe.
