Operating the Current Probe Slide
The current probe has a slide mechanism that opens and closes the probe jaw.
This allows you to clamp the probe around a conductor under test. The slide
must be locked to accurately measure current or to degauss the probe. If a probe
is unlocked, the PROBE OPEN indicator on the amplifier lights.
WARNING. When the probe slides are open, the exposed ferrite core pieces are
not insulated. To avoid injury or equipment damage, remove power from an
uninsulated wire before clamping the current probe around it. Also, never
disconnect the probe from the amplifier when the probe is connected to a live
conductor.
Figure 2 illustrates the slide operation of the probe. To open the probe, pull the
slide back until the jaw is open. To lock the probe, push the slide forward until
the detent snaps into place.
