Introduction
The Teledyne LeCroy PP006D is a passive probe with a wide range of probing
accessories. It is designed to give high-impedance probing capability to a
circuit when attached to a Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscope.
To avoid electric shock, keep fingers behind the probe’s finger guard during
use.
The cable has an interior wear indicator that becomes visible when the wire
jacket is excessively worn. If the wear indicator is visible, do not use the
probe.
Rated for indoor use only. Do not operate where conductive pollutants may be
present.

Max. Input Voltage ……. Circuits not directly connected to Mains: 350 Vrms,
………………………………….. 1400 V transient overvoltage
………………………………….. Measurement Category II: 300 Vrms
To reduce risk of fire or electric shock, do not exceed the voltage or
category ratings of the probe. See voltage derating curve on p.4.

………………………………….. Decreasing linearly to 50% RH at 40°C
- As defined in IEC/EN 61010-031. See definitions below.
Definitions:
Measurement Category II (CAT II) refers to measurements performed on circuits directly connected to utilization points (socket outlets and similar) of the low-voltage mains installation.
Pollution Degree 2 refers to an operating environment where normally only dry, non-conductive pollution occurs. Temporary conductivity caused by condensation is to be expected.

General Safety Information
Observe generally accepted safety procedures in addition to those listed here
to avoid personal injury or damage to equipment. The overall safety of any
system incorporating this accessory is the responsibility of the assembler of
the system.
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 it to the test circuit. Disconnect the probe input and reference
lead from the test circuit before disconnecting from the oscilloscope. Do not
connect/disconnect probes that are attached to a live voltage source.
Do not overload. Do not apply any potential to the probe leads that exceeds
the maximum rating of the probe.
Always comply with the Voltage vs. Frequency Derating Curve.
Observe all terminal ratings. Observe all markings on the oscilloscope before
connecting. Consult the oscilloscope product manual for further ratings
information.
Do not remove probe casing.
Do not excessively bend cables.
If the cable wear indicator is visible, do not use the probe.
Use indoors only within operational environment listed. Do not use in wet or
explosive atmospheres. Keep product surfaces clean and dry.
Handle with care. Probe tips are 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 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.
EC Declaration of Conformity
The probe conforms to the applicable European Union requirements per Low
Voltage Directive (LVD) 2014/35/EU.
Compliance was demonstrated to the following specification as listed in the
Official Journal of the European Communities:
IEC/EN 61010-031:2015 Safety requirements for electrical equipment for
measurement, control and laboratory use – Part 031: Safety requirements for
handheld probe assemblies for electrical measurement and test.
EU RoHS Compliance
The probe and accessories conform to the 2011/65/EU RoHS2 Directive.
Disposal
**** The probe complies with the applicable European Union requirements to
Directives 2012/19/EU and 2013/56/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE) and Batteries.
Probe Compensation
Proper compensation of the probe is required to assure amplitude accuracy of the waveform being measured by matching the probe to the oscilloscope’s input capacitance. Compensation should be adjusted whenever the probe is connected to or transferred between oscilloscopes.
- Connect the sprung hook to the oscilloscope’s CAL OUT terminal and the ground lead to the GND terminal. Connect the cable to any input channel.
- Turn on the input channel and press AUTO SETUP.
- Adjust the time base and channel Volts/div settings until the signal contains two cycles as shown below.
- Use the trimmer tool to adjust the low-frequency trimmer located on the BNC Compensation Box until you achieve a flat-topped square wave like the center illustration in the figure below.
CAUTION: Do not apply excessive pressure. The tip of the trimmer is made of plastic and can break easily.
Over-compensated, correct, and under-compensated waveforms
Cleaning
- Clean only the exterior of the probe, cables, and accessories. Use a soft cotton cloth moistened with a mild detergent and water solution. Do not allow any portion of the probe to be submerged at any time.
- Dry the probe and accessory thoroughly before attempting to make any voltage measurement.
- Do not subject the probe to solvents or solvent fumes as these can cause deterioration of the probe body, cables, and accessories.
