PVP2150 PVP2150 Passive Probe To Adjust the Probe Compensation Frequency Compensation 10X / Compensation Adjustment Hole Before taking any measurement using a probe, first check the frequency compensation of the probe and adjust it to match the oscilloscope used. Generally, the oscilloscope provides a calibration signal output terminal at the front panel. Connect the probe (set the probe attenuation to 10X) to the signal output terminal to display a square waveform on the oscilloscope. Insert the adjustment tool into the compensation adjustment hole at the probe head and rotate it clockwise/counterclockwise until the properly compensated square waveform is displayed (flat-top square waveform).

Voltage Derating CAT II IEC II Input Impedance IEC measurement category II is for measurements performed on circuits directly connected to low voltage installations. Examples are measurements on household appliances, portable tools and similar equipment. Equipment fully protected by DOUBLE INSULATION or REINFORCED INSULATION. Review this user manual carefully to avoid any personal injury or damage to this product and any product connected to it. To avoid potential hazards, use this product only as specified. The measurement category of a combination of a PROBE ASSEMBLY and an accessory (an auxiliary to the measurement) is the lower of the measurement categories of the PROBE ASSEMBLY and of the accessory. Follow the instructions to use the PROBE ASSEMBLY properly. The improper use of the PROBE ASSEMBLY will impair or ruin its self-owned protection function.
