Use with Non-Teledyne LeCroy Instruments

The HFP1000 can be used with other instruments with the optional ADPPS power supply. The output
of the ADPPS must be terminated into 50 Ω. The AutoColor ID feature will be disabled when the
probe is used with an ADPPS adapter.

Use with Older Teledyne LeCroy Instruments

When used with Teledyne LeCroy instruments with software version lower than 8.7.0, the
oscilloscope will provide the correct scale factor but no AutoColor ID. With V/div settings greater
than 2 V/div, it is possible to display clipped waveforms on screen.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning

The exterior of the probe and cable should be cleaned only using a soft cloth lightly moistened with
water or isopropyl alcohol. The use of abrasive agents, strong detergents, or other solvents may

damage the probe. Always ensure that the input leads are free of debris.

The probe case is not sealed and should never be immersed in any fluid.

Calibration Interval

The recommended calibration interval is one year. (Performance Verification and Adjustment
Procedures are included in this manual.)

Service Strategy

The HFP1000 probe utilizes fine pitch surface mount devices. It is therefore impractical to attempt
to repair in the field. Defective probes must be returned to a Teledyne LeCroy service facility for
diagnosis and exchange. A defective probe under warranty will be replaced with a factory
refurbished probe.

A probe that is not under warranty can be exchanged for a factory refurbished probe for a modest
fee. You must return the defective probe in order to receive credit for the probe core.
