introduce a “ring” or slow the rise time of fast signals. Input leads which form a
large loop area will pick up any radiated electromagnetic field which passes
through the loop and may induce noise into the probe input.
Using one of the available accessories makes the ZD Series probe with its small
profile and low mass head ideally suited for applications in dense circuitry.
Care and Maintenance
Cleaning
The exterior of the probe and cable should be cleaned, using a soft cloth
moistened with water. The use of abrasive agents, strong detergents, or other
solvents may damage the probe. Always ensure that the input leads are free of
debris.
CAUTION. 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 ZD Series 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. Defective
probes under warranty are repaired or replaced. 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.
