This warranty is applicable only to defects due to material or workmanship. PMK disclaim any EN other implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. PMK will not be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages (including damages for loss of profits, loss of business, loss of use or data, interruption of business and the like), even if PMK has been advised of the possibility of such damages arising from any defect or error in this manual or product.
Safety Information
Prevent personal injury, fire and product damage.
To avoid personal injury and to prevent fire or damage to this product or products connected to it, review and comply with the following safety precautions. Be aware that if you use this probe assembly in a manner not specified the protection this product provides may be impaired. Only qualified personnel should use this probe assembly.
Use only grounded instruments.
Do not connect the probe ground lead to a potential other than earth ground. Always make sure the probe and the measurement instrument are grounded properly.
Connect and disconnect properly.
Connect the BNC output to the measurement instrument and then connect the probe to the circuit under test. Disconnect from the circuit under test before disconnecting the probe from the measurement instrument.
Observe probe and probe accessory ratings.
Do not apply any electrical potential to the probe input which exceeds the maximum ratings of the probe or the accessories connected to it. In a combination always the lower rating / measurement category applies to both probe and accessories connected to it. Make sure to comply with the voltage versus frequency derating curve on page 2158.
Keep away from hazardous live circuits.
Avoid open circuitry. Do not touch connections or components when power is present.
Do not operate with suspected failures.
Refer to qualified service personnel.
Indoor use only.
Do not operate in wet or damp environment. Keep the product dry and clean.
Do not operate the product in an explosive atmosphere.
IEC Safety Symbols
The following symbols may appear on the product or in this instruction manual:
Caution, risk of danger. Refer to manual.
Caution, risk of electric shock.

About TETRIS® Series
The active probes of the TETRIS® series offer a wide dynamic measurement range of ±8V and up to 2.5 GHz bandwidth. With a very high input resistance of 1 M, low input capacitance of 0.9 pF and useful standard accessories the TETRIS® series probes are ideal for a wide range of low and high frequency measurements.
Individual contacting options, including the unique in-line probing system for multi-contacting adjacent pin connectors in 2.54 mm pitch, and the universal BNC connector for measurement instruments with 50 input make the active probe TETRIS® series universally applicable in every lab.
Specifications
This product comes with 2 years warranty.
Specifications that are not marked (*) as guaranteed are typical. 14
Max. Input Voltage and Dynamic Measuring Range
The TETRIS® probe is protected against electro-static-discharge voltage (ESD). Applying input voltages outside the specified limits can result in a defect of the probe´s amplifier.
The maximum amplitude of the applied signal may not exceed the limits stated by the graph below to counter harmonic distortion and avoid input linearity errors. (Dynamic Measurement Range).
The maximum amplitude of the input signal may not exceed the limits state by the graph below to avoid damage to the probe. (Maximum Input Voltage).
Input Voltage vs. Frequency TETRIS® 1000 / 1500 / 2500
Input Impedance
Note that the input impedance of the probe decreases as the frequency of applied signal increases.
Probe Accessories
The parts supplied are “highlighted”, see also “Scope of Delivery” on page 18.
Scope of Delivery
Accessories delivered with each probe are highlighted in the graphical overview.
Ordering Information
A power supply unit is already included in the scope of delivery.
Handling
Handle with care especially when fitted with the extra thin and sharp spring contact tip to avoid any injury. Note that the probe cable is a sensitive part of the probe. Do not damage through excessive bending or pulling. Avoid mechanical shock to this product in general to guarantee accurate performance and protection.
Use ground accessories for connections to earth ground only.
The accessories provided with the probe have been safety tested. Do not use any other accessories than those “originally” provided.
Cleaning
To clean the exterior of the probe use a soft cloth moistened with either distillated water or isopropyl alcohol. Before use allow the probe to dry completely.
