CONNECTING POWER

You can power the ProbeScope from:

    A bench-top power supply (such as Cat. No. 22-120)

    A 9-volt battery (such as Cat. No. 23-553)

    An AC adapter (such as Cat. No. 273-1651 or 273-1652)

1.  If you are using a bench-top power supply or a 9-volt battery:

    a. Insert the cable's barrel plug into the ProbeScope's power jack.

    b. Connect the supplied power cable's alligator clips to the DC power
       source.

    CAUTIONS:  Make sure the input power source is not below +9V DC or
               above +13V DC.

               Make sure to observe the proper polarity by connecting the
               red clip to + and the black clip to -.

2.  If you are using an optional AC adapter (such as Cat. No. 273-1651 or
    273-1652, not supplied)

    a. Insert the adapter's barrel plug into the ProbeScope's power jack.

              correctly fits the ProbeScope's power jack with its center
              tip set to positive.  Using an adapter that does not meet
              these specifications could damage the ProbeScope or the
              adapter.
