The overall safety of any system incorporating this accessory is the responsibility of the assembler of the system. Symbols These terms and symbols may appear on the probe body or in this manual to alert you to important safety considerations. High Voltage WARNING, risk of electric shock or burn. CAUTION of potential damage to equipment, or WARNING of potential injury. Attend to the accompanying information to protect against personal injury or damage. Do not proceed until conditions are fully understood and met. DOUBLE INSULATION PROTECTIVE (EARTH) TERMINAL Precautions To avoid personal injury or damage to property, review and comply with the following safety precautions. Use product only as specified. 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 the probe to the test circuit. Disconnect the probe input and reference lead from the test circuit before disconnecting the probe from the oscilloscope. To avoid injury or death due to electric shock, do not connect or disconnect probes or probe accessories while they are connected to a voltage source. 1 PP008 Passive Probe Do not overload. To avoid electric shock or fire, do not apply any potential to the probe leads that exceeds the maximum rating of the probe. Comply with voltage derating curve. When measuring higher frequency signals, comply with the Voltage vs. Frequency Derating Curve. Observe all terminal ratings. To avoid electric shock or fire, observe all markings on the oscilloscope before connecting. Consult the respective oscilloscope product manual for further ratings information. Do not remove probe casing. Removing the probe’s case or touching exposed connections may result in electric shock. Use only within operational environment listed. Use indoors only. Do not use in wet or explosive atmospheres. Keep product surfaces clean and dry. Use only accessories compatible with the probe. Handle with care. The probe tip is 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 any potential 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. 2 Operator’s Manual Introduction The PP008 is a miniature high impedance passive probe designed for use with ≤ 600 MHz Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscopes. Its high input resistance and low capacitance make it ideal for general purpose probing of signals with frequency content from DC through several hundred MHz. Keep fingers behind the probe’s finger guard during use. Rated for indoor use only. Do not operate where conductive pollutants may be present. Maximum input voltage derates when frequency response is approximately 30 kHz or higher. See voltage derating curve on p.4.

To maintain accuracy and signal fidelity, mechanical shock should be avoided, as well as damage to the cable through excessive bending. To achieve the small 2.5 mm tip size, the input tip diameter is narrower than those in larger probes. Avoid placing excessive force sideways on the tip. Should the tip become damaged, it may be replaced by the user using the procedure listed on the last page. Other maintenance and component replacement should be referred to qualified personnel. Cleaning The outside of the probe should cleaned with a soft cloth dampened with either deionized / distilled water or isopropyl alcohol. Allow the surface to dry completely before returning the probe to service. Never immerse the probe in any liquid. Use of PCB Adapter The PCB adapter (Teledyne Lecroy P/N PK007-015) is intended to be designed into and permanently installed in circuit boards to provide a reliable, high frequency test point which eliminates the need to hand hold the probe. 5.08 mm (0.200″) 1.5 mm (0.059″) Probe connected using PCB Adapter 1.0 mm x 4 (0.039″) PC Board hole size and pattern 9 PP008 Passive Probe Probe Compensation Proper compensation of the probe is required to assure good amplitude accuracy in the dynamic portions of the waveform being measured. LF compensation matches the probe to differences in oscilloscope input capacitance. The LF compensation should always be checked and adjusted as needed when first connecting a passive probe to the oscilloscope input. HF compensation matches time constants within the probe to compensate for normal component tolerances. It is typically not necessary to adjust HF compensation unless the probe is being used with an oscilloscope with large differences in input characteristics than the oscilloscope model it was designed for. LF compensation is performed by connecting the input of the probe to a low frequency square wave, such as the oscilloscope calibrator signal set to 1 kHz. The compensation is adjusted by rotating the adjustment accessible through the small hole in the center of the housing near the BNC connector. Use the tool supplied with the probe for this adjustment. Undershoot Overshoot Should HF compensation be required, access the adjustments by sliding the black plastic cover off the compensation housing near the BNC connector. A pulse generator with low overshoot and a 300 ps risetime is the required signal source, along with a set of attenuators. The probe must be connected to a terminated probe tip to BNC adapter. Some overshoot and ring will be present at some settings of V/Div. Adjust both trimmers for the overall best response on all ranges. 10 Correct adjustment Typical optimum HF adjustment Operator’s Manual Tip Selection and Replacement The PP008 probe is supplied with two tip styles. The spring-loaded tip, which is installed when the probe is shipped, has a sharp point and an on-axis requirement. It provides reliable connection under a wide range of physical interconnect situtations. A rigid tip is also supplied. Lacking the on-axis requirement of the spring tip, the rigid tip has a larger diameter and is more robust when exposed to physical stress at the tip. Select the proper tip for your application needs. To replace tips, carefully grip the outermost portion and pull straight out along the axis of the probe using needle nose pliers. Do not grip the plastic insulator with pliers; this will squeeze the tip, making it difficult or impossible to remove. Do not grip the outer gold plated tube that the tip slides into. With the tip removed, align the replacement tip with the hole and begin the insertion with the pliers. The tip can be fully seated by placing the probe against a hard surface and gently applying downward pressure. To remove a tip, grip the outmost portion and pull straight out. Do not apply pliers to the plastic insulator. 11 PP008 Passive Probe Certifications Teledyne LeCroy certifies compliance to the following standards as of the date of publication. See the EC Declaration of Conformity shipped with the product for current certifications. EC Declaration of Conformity - Safety The probe meets intent of EC Directive 2014/35/EU for Product Safety.
