P5205 Instruction Manual
Installation
Install the P5205 probe as follows:
1. Connect the output of the probe to the TEKPROBE input of the
oscilloscope or other measurement instrument. The measurement
instrument input must have a ground reference.
NOTE. Use the 1103 TEKPROBE Powe r supply if the instrument does
not have the TEKPROBE interface.
2. Select the proper range setting. For higher resolution and less
noise when measuring signals below 130 V, switch the attenua-
tion to 50X. If the overrange indicator lights or flashes, the output
signal may not be accurate. Use the 500X setting instead.
3. The probe output is a djusted to zero at the factory. Adjust the
probe output to zero only if you need to measure small differen-
tial voltages. Follow steps a and b to make the adjustment.
a. Let the probe warm up for at least 20 minutes.
b. Connect the input leads of the probe together. Insert the
adjustment tool in the access hole of the compensation
box and adjust the probe to the zero reference point.
If you are using this probe for the first time, read the General Safety
Summary on page v, and read page 9 of the Operating Basics section
for important safety information.
