Controls and Indicators

Overload LED

The

Overload

LED alerts you that the probe

speci

cations are being exceeded. When the

LED glows red, the maximum input continuous
current limit has been exceeded.

CAUTION.

Do not subject the probe to

conditions that cause the Overload LED to light
for extended periods.

Quick Tip

An input current overload can magnetize
the probe. Always degauss the probe after
an overload.
