These characteristics apply to an adjusted PT-710 AC/DC Current Probe installed on an
oscilloscope of any brand. The oscilloscope must be warmed up for at least 20 minutes and be in
an environment with the
temperature at 10
℃
~30
℃
and the humidity at 0~80.
Environmental Characteristics
Basic Operation:
Before using the probe, the batteries must be installed.
WARNING!
Do not clamp the probe onto circuits with voltages greater than 600 VAC. Personal injury or
damage to the probe may result. Always connect the PT-710 current probe output to the
instrument before clamping onto the circuit under test.
1. First connect the current probe BNC connector to BP-250 (double BNC connection cable) then
connect to oscilloscope input. Start by setting the oscilloscope voltage input channel to DC volts,
and the voltage sensitivity scale to 5m V/div.
2. Move the OFF/ Range switch to the 100mV/A or 10mV/A position to turn on the probe. (
※
The
PT-710 current probe has a green LED power/battery indicator. If the LED does not light, replace
the battery or use specified power adaptor.)
3. Use the ZERO adjustment to zero or offset the probe output detection of residual magnetic DC
charges.
4. Connect the probe to the circuit by opening the jaws and clamping around the conductor.
NOTE. Clamping around both the “hot” and neutral wires may give you a zero
reading. (Remember to unclamp the probe from the conductor before disconnecting
it from your meter or instrument).
