Measurement Category II (CAT II) refers to local-level electrical distribution,
such as that provided by a standard wall outlet or plug-connected
equipment. Examples of CAT II measurements would be household
appliances, portable tools, and similar modules.
Measurement Category III (CAT III) refers to measurements on hard-wired
equipment in xed installations, distribution boards, and circuit breakers
that form part of a building wiring installation. Other examples are wiring,
including cables, bus bars, junction boxes, switches, socket outlets in the
xed installation, and stationary motors with permanent connections to
xed installations
Pollution Degree 2 refers to an operation environment where normally only
dry, non-conductive pollution occurs. Temporary conductivity caused by
condensation can be expected.
Working CAT rating is equal to that of the lowest rated element
within the test set-up.

1 Introduction to CT4071 and CT4072
Overview
The CT4071 and CT4072 differential probes allow safe, accurate
measurements between two voltage points where neither point is
referenced to ground. The CT4071 offers a 50 MHz bandwidth and
the CT4072 offers a 100 MHz bandwidth. Both are compatible with
oscilloscopes from all major manufacturers. The probes are exclusively
powered by the included 9 V power adapter.

3 Using the Probe
WARNING
At the time of powering on the probe, the input leads must not
be connected to an item to be tested. Never operate the probe
with the case open.
CAUTION
This probe is used to carry out differential measurements
between two points on the circuit under test. This probe is not
designed for electrically insulating the circuit under test or the
measuring instrument.
Inspection Procedure
1. Connect the BNC output connector to the vertical input of the
oscilloscope.
2. Power on the probe.
3. Set the attenuation setting on the oscilloscope to match the
probe.
4. Connect the input of probe to a function generator. Then select
a square-wave output of 10 V amplitude and 100 kHz frequency.
5. The square-wave will be displayed on the screen of the
oscilloscope. This indicates the probe is working properly.
Note that the oscilloscope should show the same voltage and
frequency as the function generator.
450886-001 Rev. A caltestelectronics.com 9
Getting Started
1. Connect the BNC output connector to the vertical input of a
general purposed oscilloscope. The oscilloscope must have a
ground referenced.
2. Connect power adapter.
3. Select the proper attenuation ratio. When measuring signals
below 350 V, switch the attenuation ratio to 100x in order to get
higher resolution and less noise ratio. For voltages up to 700 V,
set the attenuation ratio to 200x, for voltages up to 1750 V set
the attenuation ratio to 500x, and for voltages up to 3500 V set
the attenuation ratio to 1000x.
4. The power indicator LED should turn on.
5. Plug the hook probes, alligator clips, or 4 mm probes (CT4072)
onto the test leads and connect the circuit to be tested.
Vertical Scale on Oscilloscope
The actual vertical scale of the oscilloscope is equal to the attenuation
factor multiplied by the range of vertical scale selected on the
oscilloscope. For example, with the probe on factor 20x and the
oscilloscope on 0.5 V/div, the real vertical scale is 20 x 0.5 = 10 V/div.
With the probe on 100x, the real vertical scale is 200 x 0.5 = 100 V/
div. These values apply when the oscilloscope is set to the typical 1
MΩ impedance input. When the scope is set to 50 Ω input, the actual
vertical scale will be doubled: 20 V/div for the 20x setting and 200 V/div
for the 200x setting. See the chart below.
