1 Safety Information
OPERATOR SAFETY
To avoid personal injury and to prevent damage to the probe or any products connected to it,
review the following safety precautions. To avoid potential hazards, use the probe only as speci-
fied.
For indoor use only. To avoid fire or personal injury, comply with the following:
Connect probe to the measurement instrument before connecting test leads to a voltage source.
Do not disconnect probe from instrument while test leads are connected to a voltage source.
Use of the probe and/or the oscilloscope it is connected to in a manner other than that specified
may impair the protection mechanisms.
Do not apply a potential to any input that exceeds the maximum rating of that input. (Section 9,
Specifications.)
When measuring high frequency signals, be sure to comply with the voltage vs. frequency derating
curve. (Section 9, Specifications.)
Do not use in wet or explosive atmospheres.
Do not use the probe if any part is damaged. All maintenance should be referred to qualified ser-
vice personnel.

2 Overview
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The 1.5 GHz HFP1500 is a small, high frequency active probe designed to meet today’s increas-
ing 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 LeCroy’s WavePro™, Waverunner™ and LC series oscilloscope
with firmware version 8.7.0 or higher.
When the probe is used with any of these oscilloscopes, an AutoColor ID feature automatically illu-
minates 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.
When used in combination with an ADPPS power supply, the HFP1500 probe can be used with
non-LeCroy instruments. (See Section 4 for detailed operation with an ADPPS adapter).
KEY BENEFITS
• High frequency performance
• Low input capacitance
• Wide dynamic range
• ProBus interface
• AutoColor ID feature matches the probe color to the oscilloscope’s default trace color
• Five interchangeable tips for probing a variety of test points
• Replaceable probe tip socket
• Hands free probing with FreeHand probe holder
