4P5205 Instruction Manual
Input Leads. The input leads of the differential probe
connect to the crocodile clips and plunge r clamps that
come with the probe. The connectors are 4 mm
insulated banana plugs and are double insulated for
safety.
NOTE. Use onlyaccessories that are rated to the
maximum input voltage of the P5205 probe.
Extension Leads and Adapters. To measure the potential
between widely separated points, connect the extension
leads to the input leads with the supplied adapt ers. Use
both extensionleads to minimize distortion caused by
mismatched lead length.
NOTE. Above 10 MHz, the extension leads degrade the
high frequency performance of the P5205 probe. See
Figure 4 on page 14.
Plunger Clamps. The plunger clamps have long sleeves
with retracting hooks. These clamps connect safe ly to
recessedtest points that are otherwise difficultto reach.
The connectors are double insulated for safety.
CrocodileClips. The large insulated clips connecteasily
to large bolts or bus bars. The connectors are double
insulated forsafety.
TEKPROBE Interface. The TEKPROBE interface
provides power, signal, and probe characteristic data
transfer.
If your oscilloscope doesnot support the TEKPROBE
interface, you can usethe optional 1103 probe power
supply as an effective interface. Contact your l ocal
Tektronix representative for more information.
