CP03x/CP03xA Current Probes

Connecting to the Test Instrument
The probe has been designed for use with the Teledyne LeCroy instruments equipped
with the ProBus interface. When you attach the probe output connector to the
instrument’s input connector, the instrument will:
•
Recognize the probe model
•
Set the input termination to 1 MΩ
•
Activate the probe control functions in the touch screen user interface.
Connecting to the Test Circuit
The probe has been designed with a movable split core, eliminating the need to break
the conductor for the core to slip around the conductor. To connect:
1. Pull back the slider so that the clamp opens.
2. Align the sensor so that the current direction indicator corresponds to the
direction of current flow in the conductor.
3. Close the slider on the sensor head until the "UNLOCK’ indication disappears
and the "LOCK" indication appears.
4. Verify that the opening lever is firmly locked and the clamp is securely closed.
CAUTION: Never use this probe on bare conductors. The core and shield are
grounded and any voltage applied to the conductor may cause damage the
probe or the circuit under test.
