HFP1500 High Frequency Probe
2 922252-00 Rev A
Do not overload. To avoid electric shock or damage to probe or instrument it is connected to, do
not apply any potential that exceeds the maximum rating of the probe and/or the probe accessory,
whichever is less. Observe all terminal ratings of the instrument before connecting the probe.
Be careful not to damage the insulation surface when making measurements.
Use only within operational environment listed. Do not use in wet or explosive atmospheres. Keep
product surfaces clean and dry. Use indoors only.
Handle with care. Probe accessory tips are sharp. They can puncture skin or cause other bodily
injury if not handled properly.
Keep fingers behind the finger guard of the probe accessories.
Do not operate with suspected failures. Before each use, inspect the probe and accessories for any
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.
Operating Environment
The accessory is intended for indoor use and should be operated in a clean, dry environment. Before
using this product, ensure that its operating environment is maintained within these parameters:
Temperature: 0° to 50° C.
Humidity: ≤ 80% max up to 31 °C, decreasing linearly to 45% max at 50 °C
Altitude: up to 2000 m (6562 feet)
Introduction
The 1.5 GHz HFP1500 is a small, high frequency active probe designed to meet today’s increasing
demand for measurements on a variety of test points. With low input capacitance and high input
resistance, circuit loading is minimized.
The HFP1500 can be used with Teledyne LeCroy’s WavePro™, Waverunner™ oscilloscopes, and LC
series oscilloscopes with firmware version 8.7.0 or higher.
When the probe is used with any of these oscilloscopes, an AutoColor ID feature automatically
illuminates the probe head in the default trace color of the channel to which the probe is connected,
eliminating the need for color bands or other markers.
With the ProBus interface, the HFP1500 becomes an integral part of the oscilloscope. The probe can
be controlled from the oscilloscope’s front panel. The oscilloscope provides power to the probe, so
there is no need for a separate power supply or batteries.
