ETS-Lindgren 95242-1 Injection Probes - Manual (Page 9)

Operation: Precautionary Measures
Before connecting any components, follow the
safety information in the ETS-Lindgren
Product Information Bulletin included with your
shipment.
RF fields can be hazardous. Observe
appropriate RF exposure limits.
When measuring conductors that are not
insulated, use extreme care when installing the
current probe and taking measurements. If
possible, de-energize the test sample during
assembly and disassembly of the setup. Also,
arrange to center the test conductor in the
current probe window for additional voltage
breakdown protection.
Do not permit the uninsulated current probe
connector and cable connectors to come in
contact with the ground plane or other nearby
conductors. This will prevent possible
measurement error due to ground loops, and
will avoid danger from high voltages.
Ensure that the 50-ohm load is capable of safely
dissipating the incurred power. Should the load
become disconnected, the developed voltage
will be come much greater and may be very
dangerous.
