Scope Multimeter Operations Getting Started
NOTE:
i 200V to 400V scales are not to be used to measure signals greater than 50VAC (rms) or 75VDC.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use the Low Amp Probe to measure current on conductors at a potential greater than
46VAC peak or 70VDC.
8.2.2 Leads, Probes and Adapters
The Scope Multimeter uses standard safety banana plugs that are compatible with many
accessories. The various leads, probes, clips, and adapters that are supplied with, or available as
optional equipment, are explained in this section.
IMPORTANT:
When removing leads from their sockets, do not pull on the wire because it can damage the leads.
Pull on the plug.
Channel 1 Lead
Figure 8-4 Yellow Channel 1 Lead
The shielded yellow lead is used for Channel 1 (
Figure 8-4) and other channel connections that
need additional grounding. The lead color matches the color of socket 1 on the Display Device and
the color of trace 1 on the test screens.
This yellow lead includes a black, right-angle, common ground plug and a black, stackable,
common ground plug. The non-stackable ground plug always connects to the ground (GND) port
on top of the unit. The stackable ground plug is used for connecting additional leads, such as the
Channel 2 Lead or the Secondary Coil Adapter Lead, that require grounding. The stackable lead
grounds through the non-stackable lead and does not need to be connected to the port on the unit.
Channel 2 Lead
Figure 8-5 Green Channel 2 lead
The shielded green lead (
Figure 8-5) is used for Channel 2. The lead color matches the color of
socket 2 on the Display Device and the color of trace 2 on the test screens. This green lead
includes a stackable, black, right-angle ground plug.
