2. General Safety Summary
Review the following safety precautions to avoid injury and prevent damage to this probe
or any products that connected to it.
Observe Maximum Working Voltage
To avoid any injury, do not use the probe under the condition that the voltage between

Must be Grounded
This probe is grounded with the shell of BNC connector and an auxiliary grounding terminal,
through the grounding conductor of the power cord of the measurement instrument. Before
making connections to the input leads of this probe, ensure that the output BNC connector
is attached to the BNC connector of the measurement instrument and the auxiliary
grounding terminal is connected to a proper ground, while the measurement instrument is
properly grounded.
Use Fused Test Prods if Necessary
If this probe is intended to use for measurements in circuits of MEAUSREMENT
CATEGORY III, it should incorporate with fused test prods.
Do Not Operate Without Covers
To avoid electric shock or fire hazard, do not operate this probe with covers removed.
Do Not Operate in Wet/Damp Conditions
To avoid electric shock, do not operate this probe in wet of damp conditions.
Do Not Operate in Explosive Atmosphere
To avoid injury or fire hazard, do not operate this probe in an explosive atmosphere.
Avoid Exposed Circuit
To avoid injury, remove jewelry such as rings, watches, and other metallic objects. Do not
touch exposed connections and components when power is present.
Use Proper Power Source
To ensure this probe function well, use four AA cells or 6VDC/60mA or regulated
9VDC/40mA mains adaptor or power lead. Do not operate this probe from a power source
that applies more than the voltage specified.
Do Not Operated With Suspected Failures
If you suspect there is damage to this probe, have it inspected by qualified service
personnel.
3. Description
By enabling conventional oscilloscopes to display and measure in-circuit waveforms that are
referenced to high common mode voltages. The differential probe extends the measurement
capability of oscilloscopes in electronic power converters, inverters, motor speed controls,
switch mode power supplies, and many applications.

4. Installation
a. Simply plug-in the BNC output connector to the vertical input of a general purposed
oscilloscope or other measurement instrument, and connects the auxiliary grounding
terminal to a proper ground. The measurement instrument must have a ground referenced.
b. Connect an appropriate power source to this probe and or enter the batteries, then turn it
on.
c. Select the proper attenuation ratio. When measuring signals below 70V, switch the
attenuation ratio to 1/10 in order to get higher resolution and less noise ratio. Otherwise, set
the attenuation ratio to 1/100.
WARNING. To protect against electric shock, use only the
accessories supplied with this probe.
d. Using the appropriate probe accessories, connect the inputs to the circuits under
measurement.
CAUTION. This probe is to carry out differential measurement
between two points on the circuit under measurement.
This probe is not for electrically insulating the circuit
under measurement and the measuring instrument.
5. Appearance
The differential probe looks as follows.
a. Output Cable The BNC output connector and an auxiliary grounding terminal
are connected to the oscilloscope.
b. Input Leads The input leads of the differential probe connect to sprung hooks
that come with the probe.
c. Sprung Hooks The sprung hooks are connected safely to test points in
circuits under measurement.

a. The supplied voltage must be less than 12V and greater than 4.4V, otherwise the probe
could be damaged or can’t be operated properly.
b. Polarity is “+” inside and “–” outside. For wrong polarity, built-in circuit protects the
probe, no danger or damage will occur.
c. When the voltage of the cells become too low, the power indicator on the will flicker.

10. Derating Curve
The derating curve of the absolute maximum input voltage in common mode is shown as
follows.
11. Offset Adjustment
If the offset voltage is too large, short the input leads and turn the adjust variable resistor
(DC voltage adjustment) which you find in the hole of the panel by using a flat-head
screwdriver until the offset voltage is lowest.
12. Inspection Procedure
a. Connect the BNC output connector to the vertical input of a general purposed
oscilloscope.
b. Install four AA cells or connect an appropriate mains adaptor or power lead to the correct
line voltage.
c. Set the oscilloscope input coupling to DC and the 1V/div. Center the trace on the display.
d. Connect the inputs of the probe to power lines.
e. Set the range of the probe to 1/100.
f. Then, a 50Hz/60Hz sine-wave of proper amplitude will be displayed on the screen of the
oscilloscope and this means the probe is working properly.
13. Cleaning
Use a soft cloth to clean the dirt. Prevent damage to probe.
a. Avoid immersing the probe.
b. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
c. Avoid using chemicals contains benzene or similar solvents.
