CAUTION. Handle current probes with care. Do not drop a probe or subject it to
impact, or the core may crack.
Do not connect or disconnect a current probe while the probe is clamped around a
live conductor, or the probe may suffer electrical damage.
If you connect a probe to the wrong ampli fi er, (for example, a TCP312A to a
TCPA400), the NONCOMPATIBLE PROBE TYPE LED illuminates. Disconnect
the probe and use the correct ampli
fi er. The TCPA400 ampli fi er accepts
TCP3XXA probes, but will only operate properly with TCP4XX probes.
Each current probe is calibrated before it is shipped, and should not require
further adjustment. If a probe requires adjustment, information is available in the
service manual. The adjustment procedure must be performed only by quali
fi ed
service personnel. Contact your nearest Tektronix Service Center if you need
more assistance.
