TT-HVP 2739 High-Frequency High Voltage Probe
E-4
3. WARNINGS
• The ground lead is critical to the safe operation of the probe.
Failure to make this connection when making high voltage
measurements may result in personal injury or damage to the
probe or oscilloscope. This connection must always be made
BEFORE the probe tip comes in contact with the high voltage
and must not be removed until the probe tip has been
removed from the high voltage source.
• If the probe was exposed to voltages over 39kV DC, or
27kV AC rms, then DO NOT USE IT ANY LONGER. The
probe could potentially be damaged.
• Do not attempt to take measurements from the sources when
the chassis or return lead is not grounded.
• Do not connect the ground clip to the high voltage source or
the probe tip to the ground for any reason.
• Before turning the high voltage on, make sure that no part of
your body is in contact with the device.
• Remember that the voltage being measured is 1000 times
greater than the voltmeter reading.
• Disconnect the probe tip from the high voltage source
BEFORE removing the ground clip lead.
• Do not make any floating measurements with the TT-HVP
2739 High Voltage Probe.
