Using your Rogowski Probe
Replacing the battery
Low battery is indicated by a red LED located near the power switch.
To replace the battery, remove the probe from the test circuit, switch-
off the transducer, remove the battery cover, and replace the used
batteries with appropriate batteries for your transducer type (standard
or rechargeable).
Make sure the probe is removed from the test circuit before replacing
the batteries.
Switching on
CAUTION.
Make sure you've read the following sections before
switching on the transducer: Safety and pre-use checks on page 7 and
Handling instructions on page 6.
WARNING.
The probe may be used only with oscilloscopes or
monitoring equipment with properly grounded BNC inputs.
1. Connect the BNC output of the transducer to your grounded
oscilloscope or current monitoring equipment.
2. Visually inspect the Rogowski coil ensuring that the insulation is
intact. If you see an abrasion or tear, use a different probe.
3. If the coil passes the inspection in the previous step, un-clip the
coil and wrap it around the de-energized conductor under test.
4. Insert the free-end of the coil fully inside the ferrule.
5. Re-energize the conductor.
6. Use the Power button to switch the transducer On by pressing and
releasing the button. Turn the transducer Off by pressing and
releasing the button when the transducer is on. The transducer is
on when the Status Indicator LED is Green.
