alert you to important safety considerations.
Precautions
To avoid personal injury or damage to property, review and comply with the
following safety precautions. Use product only as specified.
Connect only to grounded instruments. Use only with compatible Teledyne
LeCroy oscilloscopes that have their BNC input connected to an earth ground. Do
not connect the probe reference lead to any point which is at a potential other
than earth ground.
Connect and disconnect properly. Connect probe to the oscilloscope before
connecting the probe to the test circuit. Disconnect the probe input and
reference lead from the test circuit before disconnecting the probe from the
oscilloscope. To avoid injury or death due to electric shock, do not connect or

Operator’s Manual
disconnect probes or probe accessories while they are connected to a voltage
source.
Do not overload. To avoid electric shock or fire, do not apply any potential to
the probe leads that exceeds the maximum rating of the probe.
Comply with voltage derating curve. When measuring higher frequency signals,
comply with the Voltage vs. Frequency Derating Curve.
Observe all terminal ratings. To avoid electric shock or fire, observe all markings
on the oscilloscope before connecting. Consult the respective oscilloscope
product manual for further ratings information.
Do not remove probe casing. Removing the probe’s case or touching exposed
connections may result in electric shock.
Use only within operational environment listed. Do not use in wet or explosive
atmospheres. Keep product surfaces clean and dry.
Use only accessories compatible with the probe.
Handle with care. The probe tip is extremely sharp and may puncture skin or
cause other bodily injury if not handled properly.
Keep fingers behind the finger guard of probe body and accessories.
Do not operate with suspected failures. Before each use, inspect the probe and
accessories for any potential damage such as tears or other defects in the probe
body, cable jacket, accessories, etc. If any part is damaged, cease operation
immediately and sequester the probe from inadvertent use.

PP007 Passive Probe
Introduction
The PP007 is a miniature high impedance passive probe. Its high input resistance
and low capacitance make it ideal from general purpose probing of signals with
frequency content from DC through several hundred MHz. The PP007 has a
large selection of connection accessories, both supplied standard with the probe
and available from Teledyne Lecroy as optional accessories.
The PP007 is available in two models, differing only in the design of the
compensation network.
The PP007-WR is designed for use with Teledyne Lecroy WaveRunner series
oscilloscopes.
The PP007-WS is designed for use with Teledyne Lecroy WaveSurfer series
oscilloscopes.
All standard and optional accessories are interchangeable between all models.

PC Board hole size and pattern
Use and Maintenance
This probe is a high quality, precision instrument. To maintain accuracy and
signal fidelity, mechanical shock should be avoided, as well as damage to the
cable through excessive bending.
To achieve the small 2.5 mm tip size, the input tip diameter is narrower than
those in larger probes. Avoid placing excessive force sideways on the tip.
Should the tip become damaged, it may be replaced by the user using the
procedure listed on the last page.
Other maintenance and component replacement should be referred to qualified
personnel.
Cleaning
The outside of the probe should cleaned with a soft cloth dampened with either
deionized / distilled water or isopropyl alcohol. Allow the surface to dry
completely before returning the probe to service. Never immerse the probe in
any liquid.
Use of PCB Adapter
The PCB adapter (Teledyne Lecroy P/N PK007-015) is intended to be designed
into and permanently installed in circuit boards to provide a reliable, high
frequency test point which eliminates the need to hand hold the probe.

Probe Compensation
Proper compensation of the probe is required to assure good amplitude
accuracy in the dynamic portions of the waveform being measured. LF
compensation matches the probe to differences in oscilloscope input
capacitance. The LF compensation should always be checked and adjusted as
needed when first connecting a passive probe to the oscilloscope input. HF
compensation matches time constants within the probe to compensate for
normal component tolerances. It is typically not necessary to adjust HF
compensation unless the probe is being used with an oscilloscope with large
differences in input characteristics than the oscilloscope model it was designed
for.
LF compensation is performed by connecting the input of the probe to a low
frequency square wave, such as the oscilloscope calibrator signal set to 1 kHz.
The compensation is adjusted by rotating the adjustment accessible through the
small hole in the center of the housing near the BNC connector. Use the tool
supplied with the probe for this adjustment.
Should HF compensation be required, access the
adjustments by sliding the black plastic cover off
the compensation housing near the BNC connector. A pulse generator with low overshoot and a
300 ps risetime is the required signal source, along
with a set of attenuators. The probe must be
connected to a terminated probe tip to BNC
adapter.
Some overshoot and ring will be present at some
settings of V/Div. Adjust both trimmers for the overall best response on all
ranges.

Operator’s Manual
To remove tip, grip the spring-loaded
portion of the tip beyond the outer
sleeve and pull straight out.
Do not apply pliers to the plastic insulator.
Tip Selection and Exchange
The PP007-xx probe is supplied with two tip styles. The spring tip, which is
installed when the probe is shipped, combines a sharp point with on-axis
compliance. This provides reliable connection under a wide range of physical
interconnect situtations. A rigid tip is also supplied. While lacking the on-axis
compliance feature of the spring tip, the rigid tip has a larger diameter and is
more robust when exposed to physical stress at the tip. The user should select
the proper tip for their application needs.
To change the tip or replace it when damaged, carefully grip the outer most
portion of tip and pull straight out, along the axis of the probe, using needle
nose pliers. Do not attempt to grip the plastic insulator with pliers when
removing the tip, as this will squeeze the tip, which will make it difficult or
impossible to remove. Do not grip the outer gold plated tube which the tip
slides into. With the tip removed, align the replacement tip with the hole and
begin the insertion with the pliers. The tip may be fully seated by placing the
probe against a hard surface and gently applying pressure.
