6P5205 Instruction Manual
Installation
Install the P5205 probe as follows:
1. Connect the output of the probe to the TEKPROBE input of the
oscilloscopeor other measurement instrument. The measurement
instrument input must have a ground reference.
NOTE. Use the 1103TEKPR OBE Power supply if the instrument does
not have the TEKPROBE interface.
2. Select the proper range setting. For higher resoluti on and less
noise when measuring signals below 130 V, switch the attenua-
tion to 50X. If the overrange indicator light sor fl ashes, the output
signal may not be accurate. Use the 500X setting instead.
3. The probe output is adjusted to zero at the factory. Adjust the
probe output to zero only if you need to measure small differen-
tial voltages. Followsteps 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 toolin the access hole of the compensation
box and adjust the probe to the zero reference poi nt.
If you are usingthis probe for the first time, read the General Safety
Summary on page v, and read page 9 of the Operating Basics section
for importantsafety information.
