A6304XL Instructions
1
Getting Started
This section covers the installation and operation of the A6304XL with the
AM 503B and AM 5030 amplifiers. The probe does not need to be matched to a
dedicated amplifier for operation or calibration.
The A6304XL is a DC to 2 MHz current probe designed for use with the
AM 503B and AM 5030 current probe amplifiers. The A6304XL can measure
currents to 500 A (DC + peak AC), and up to 700 A peak current (while not
exceeding the amp-second rating).
The A6304XL can only be used with the AM 503B and AM 5030 and will not
be recognized by other current probe amplifiers.
NOTE
. If the A6304XL is not recognized by your AM503B or AM5030, contact
your nearest Tektronix Service Center concerning an amplifier firmware
upgrade.
Please refer to the amplifier documentation for verification procedures, adjust-
ments, and additional specifications.
If you need assistance using your probe, please call our Customer Support Center
at 1-800-TEK-WIDE (1-800-835-9433). If you are outside the United States or
Canada, please contact your nearest Tektronix Service Center.
Probe Installation
To connect a current probe to the Amplifier input connector, align the tab of the
probe connector with the slot in the Amplifier INPUT connector as shown in
Figure 1(a). Align the dot on the probe connector with the groove opening of the
input connector as shown in Figure 1(b). Push the probe connector in while
twisting the barrel clockwise to lock the connector.
CAUTION.
Handle current probes with care. Do not drop a probe or subject it to
impact, or the core may crack. Do not connect or disconnect a current probe
while the probe is clamped around a live conductor or while the Amplifier is
powered on, or the probe may suffer electrical damage.
