P5205 Instruction Manual
Minimizing Risk of RF Burn (probe leads)
WARNING. To avoid personal injury, do not handle the probe leads
when the leads are connected to a source that is above the volt age
and frequency limits given in Figure 2 on page 11. The area above
these limits poses a risk of radio frequency (RF) burns.
If you need to use the probe within the risk a rea for RF burn, power
down the source before connecting or disconnecting the probe leads.
Maximum Input Limits
CAUTION. To avoid damaging the input circuitry of the P5205 probe,
do not apply a voltage that is more than 1,000 V
RMS
CAT II between
either input and ground or more than 1,300 V (DC + peak AC)
between the two inputs. Above 3 MHz, the voltage limit decreases as
frequency increases. See Figure 2 on page 11. The input limit applies
to both the 50X and 500X settings.
