Peak Voltage rating of the HPS140 scope

Instruments HPS140 Handheld Pocket Oscilloscope
1

The peak voltage rating for an HPS140 is 100 Volts Peak.

House voltage in North America is 120 Volts RMS or 170 Volts Peak (340 Volts Peak to Peak).

I well know I cannot plug my HPS140 (or any of my bench scopes) directly to the house mains.

If I use the supplied probe in x10 position (so that voltage is reduced to 35 volts peak to peak at the HPS140 input), is this safe to do? That is, I won’t damage the HPS140?

I tend to use a x100 Probe on my bench scopes to work with anything greater than 50 Volts RMS.

Thank you.

if your probe is set as x10 than it should not be a problem
