P6015A Instruction Manual
1–1
Overview
The P6015A is a 100 MW, 3.0 pF high voltage probe with 1000X
attenuation. It adds high-voltage measurement capability to
oscilloscopes and other measurement devices having an input
resistance of 1 MW and an input capacitance of 7 pF to 49 pF.
WARNING. Due to the inherent hazards associated with taking
high-voltage measurements, this product is intended for use by
qualified personnel who have had the training to take these types of
measurements.
Read and follow the precautions specified in this manual.
The P6015A consists of two major assemblies: the probe body and
the compensation box (see Figure 1–1).
H The probe body houses the probe tip, head, and ground lead. The
probe body is made of high-impact thermoplastic that provides
mechanical protection for the probe’s internal components and
electrical protection for the user.
H The compensation box connects to an oscilloscope or other
measuring device and has a cable that attaches to the probe body.
The compensation box contains an adjustment network to
optimize frequency response up to 75 MHz.
WARNING. To avoid shock, keep hands and fingers behind the guard
ring on the probe when the probe is connected to voltages.
