• WARNING
  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.

• WARNING
  For Indoor Use Only. To avoid electric shock, injury, or fire hazard, do not operate this probe in wet or damp conditions or in an explosive atmosphere.

• WARNING
  Periodically inspect your probe and probe wires to check for any damage. Do Not Operate with Visible or Suspected Failures. If you suspect there is damage, have it inspected by Testec authorized service personnel.

• WARNING

• When it is likely that the ground protection is impaired, you must make the instrument inoperative and secure it against any unintended operation.

• CAUTION
  The probe and its cables are sensitive parts and therefore, you should be careful not to damage them though excessive bending or pulling. Avoid any mechanical shocks to the probe to guarantee accurate performance and protection.

IEC Measurement Category & Pollution Degree Definitions 
Measurement Category (CAT) – classification of testing and measuring circuits according to the types of mains circuits to which they are intended to be connected.

• Measurement Category other than II, III, or IV: circuits that are not directly connected to the mains supply.
• Measurement Category II (CAT II): test and measure circuits connected directly to utilization points (socket outlets and similar prints) of the low-voltage mains installation.
• Measurement Category III (CAT III): test and measure circuits connected to the distribution part of a building’s low-voltage mains installation.
• Measurement Category IV (CAT IV): test and measure circuits connected at the source of the building’s low-voltage mains installation.
• Mains Isolated: is for measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to a mains supply.

Pollution – addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid, or gaseous (ionized gases) that may produce a reduction of dielectric strength or surface resistivity. Pollution Degree 2 (P2) – only non-conductive pollution occurs except that occasionally a temporary conductivity caused by condensation is expected.

Introduction

Overview
The Testec TT-SX 900x Series High-Voltage Differential probes allow conventional earth-grounded oscilloscopes to be used for floating signal measurements – up to 700 V differential or common mode voltage (TT-SX 9001) and up to 1400 V differential or common mode voltage (TT-SX 9002). Each model offers user selectable attenuation setting of 10x & 100x (TT-SX 9001) and 20x & 200x (TT-SX 9002), making both probes highly versatile and usable for a broad range of applications including power supply measurements and motor controls. Both probes are compatible with any oscilloscope with a 1 MΩ BNC female input and feature up to 30 MHz of bandwidth. The probes can be powered by any oscilloscope USB port, internal batteries (4 AA batteries, not included in the scope of delivery), or mains power adapter.

Setting Up and Using the Probe

WARNING
Before connecting the probe for your measurement, read all the warnings in this section and all of the warnings in the section “Safety Information” on page 8.

Setting Up

1. To use this probe, first insert the four AA batteries into the probe…
2. OR, connect the USB power cord to the probe (see Figure 1 for the location of the input jack on the probe) and a USB port on the oscilloscope or to the Power Adapter plugged into a mains circuit.

Using
Connect the Insulated BNC male output connector to an input channel of the oscilloscope.

WARNING
The Probe Must be Grounded. Before making connections to the input leads of the probe, ensure that the output BNC connector is attached to the BNC input channel of the oscilloscope AND the oscilloscope is properly grounded.

1. Select the desired attenuation ratio, 10x or 100x (TT-SX 9001); 20x or 200x (TT-SX 9002), via the Attenuation selection button.
2. Turn off the high voltage source.
3. Press the probe hooks on its matching color 4 mm sheathed banana plug input lead.
4. Connect the probe hooks to the circuit under test.
5. After confirming that the probe operator is not touching the device under test, turn on the high-volt- age source.
6. Measure the voltage under test and observe the waveform on the oscilloscope.
7. Turn off high voltage source.
8. Disconnect the probe inputs from the high-voltage source.
