Getting Started
This section describes the High Voltage Differential Probe and gives
instructions on how to install and functionally test the probe.
Features and Accessories
The P5205 probe shown in Figure 1 provides a safe means of
measuring circuits with floating high voltages. The probe outputs a
low-voltage, ground-referenced signal for display on instruments
with the TEKPROBE interface (or any oscilloscope or other
measurem ent instrument when used with the Tektronix 1103
TEKPROBE power supply).
To protect you from RF and high voltage, the case of the probe is
nonconductive, internally shielde d, and isola ted. The internal shield
connect s t o earth ground through the output l ead. The case of the
probe and control buttons are isolated and double insulated. Thi s
protection extends up to the full input rating of the probe.
The accessories supplied with the probe meet the same safety
standards as t he probe. You may use other acc essories if they are
approved for the maximum voltage present in your application and
have the same style and size connectors.
The P5205 probe allows clear and accurate measurements of
high-speed transitions and provides excel lent rejection of common-
mode signals. B oth inputs have high impedance and low capaci tance.
Because of these features, the probe can safely measure the fast
voltage tra nsients in switching power devices without damaging
them.
Other applications for the P5205 probe include testing high-volt age
motor control circuits and line-connected circuits in switch-mode
power supplies.
For a complete list of replaceable accessories and part ordering
information, see the Replaceable Parts section, starting on page 35.

The P5205 has several features and accessories that make probing
and measurement a simpler task. Take a moment to familiarize
yourself with these items and their uses.
Differential Inputs. The inputs are rated to safely accept
a maximum of 1,000 V
RMS
CAT II between either
input and earth ground and a maximum difference of
1,300 V (DC + peak AC) between the inputs.
NOTE. The input safety ratings are valid for both
attenuation range settings. However, for useful
measurem ents, the input should be kept to the
operating limits of the selected attenuation range of
130 V up to 1,300 V (DC + peak AC).
Attenuation R ange. In the raised position the range
button sets the attenuation to 500X. In the lowered
position the range button sets the attenuation to 50X.
Use the 500X position for measurements up to a
maximum of 1,300 V (DC + peak AC) differential. Use
the 50X position for better signal resolution on
connections below 130 V (DC + peak AC).
Overrange Indicator. The overrange indicator lights red
if the voltage of the input signal exceeds the linear
operating range of the probe. When this happens, the
signal on the probe output does not accurately represent
the signal on the probe input.
Audible Overrange. In the raised position the overrange
button sets the audible al arm to sound whenever the
overrange indicator lights.
Bandwidth Select. In the raised position the bandwidth
button sets the full bandwidth (100 MHz minimum). In
the lowered position t he bandwidth is restricted to
approximately 5 MHz.

P5205 Instructi on Manual
Input Leads. The input leads of the differential probe
connect to the crocodile clips and plunger clamps that
come with the probe. The connectors are 4 mm
insulated banana plugs and are double insulated for
safety.
NOTE. Use only accessories that are rated to the
maximum input voltage of the P5205 probe.
Extension Leads and Adapters. To measure the potenti al
between widely separated points, connect the ext ension
leads to the input leads with the supplied a dapters. Use
both extension leads to minimize distortion caused by
mismatched lead length.
NOTE. Above 10 MHz, the extension leads degrade the
high frequency performance of the P5205 probe. See
Figure 4 on page 14.
Plunger Clamps. The plunger clamps have long sleeves
with retracting hooks. These clamps connect safely to
recessed test points that are otherwise difficult to reach.
The connectors are double insulated for safety.
Crocodile Clips. The large insulated clips connect easily
to large bolts or bus bars. The connectors are double
insulated for safety.
TEKPROBE Interface. The TEKPROBE interface
provides power, signal, and probe characteristic data
transfer.
If your oscilloscope does not support the TEKPROBE
interface, you can use the optional 1103 probe power
supply as an effective interface. Contact your local
Tektronix representative for more information.

Zero Adjust. T he zero adjust allows you t o set t he probe
output to the zero reference point prior to making
measurements. Use the adjustment tool provided.
Soft Case. T h e soft c ase protects the probe and allows
you to hang the probe near the point of measurement.
Install or remove the case by opening the access doors
on the back.
When not in use, coil the leads and secure them with
the strap on the back. Use one of the loops to hang the
probe on a storage hook or utility belt.
Color Marker Bands. When you are using more than one
probe, the bands enable you to quickly distinguish
between probes and the channels they are connected to.
To use the marker bands, attach one band near the
probe head and the matchi ng band near the compensa-
tion box.

P5205 Instructi on Manual
Installation
Install the P5205 probe as follows:
1. Connect the output of the probe to the TEKPROBE input of the
oscilloscope or other measurement instrument. The measurement
instrument input must have a ground reference.
NOTE. Use the 1103 TEKPROBE Power supply if the instrument does
not have the TEKPROBE interface.
2. Select the proper ra nge setting. For higher resolution and less
noise when measuring signals below 130 V, switch the attenua-
tion to 50X. If the ove rrange indicator lights or flashes, the out put
signal may not be accurate. Use the 500X setting instead.
3. The probe output is adjusted to zero at the factory. Adjust the
probe output to zero only if you need to measure small differen-
tial voltages. Follow steps a and b to make the adjustment.
a. Let the probe warm up for at l east 20 minutes.
b. Connect the input leads of the probe together. Insert the
adjustment tool in the access hole of the compensation
box and adjust the probe to the zero reference point.
If you are using this probe for the first time, read the General Safety
Summary on page v, and re ad page 9 of the Operating Basics section
for important safety information.

Functional Check
To make a simple functional check of the P5205 probe, select a
source that supplies AC line voltage and use the following
procedure. This procedure verifies a majority of the circuitry within
the probe. For a complete performance verification, refer to the
Performance Verification section starting on page 27.
1. Use the installation procedure starting on page 6 to connect the
output of the P5205 probe to a measurem ent instrument.
2. Connect the inputs, set the range, and perform the check as each
line of Table 1, below, indicates.
