Safety Instructions

Follow generally accepted safety procedures in addition to the precautions
specified in this section. The overall safety of any system incorporating this

accessory is the responsibility of the assembler of the system.

Symbols

These terms and symbols may appear on the probe body or in this manual to
alert you to important safety considerations.

High Voltage WARNING, risk of electric shock or burn.

CAUTION of potential damage to equipment, or WARNING of

potential injury. Attend to the accompanying information to protect
against personal injury or damage. Do not proceed until conditions

are fully understood and met.

DOUBLE INSULATION

PROTECTIVE (EARTH) TERMINAL

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
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. Use indoors only. 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.

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 (-WR for use with WaveRunner and
–WS for use with WaveSurfer), differing only in the design of the
compensation network.

All accessories are interchangeable between all models.

Keep fingers behind the probe’s finger guard during use.

Rated for indoor use only. Do not operate where conductive pollutants
may be present.

Maximum input voltage derates when frequency response is
approximately 30 kHz or higher. See voltage derating curve p.4.
