Introduction
PROBES
WARNING
High voltage probes and test prod adapters provide a con-
venient and economical means of extending the voltage
range of the 270. 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
270-5 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.
Accuracy: Probe Resistance +2%.
The high voltage test probes are available at local electronic parts
distributors.
Accessory AC High Voltage Probe
The 10,000 volts AC accessory probe is similar to the high voltage
DC probes with the following exceptions: The AC high voltage
probe is designed to extend the 270-5 AC voltage range. The probe
can be used with the Simpson 270-5 10-volt AC range.
NOTE: Instructions are furnished with each high
voltage probe.
