Demagnetization and Zero Adjustment
CAUTION
• When unplugging the output terminal, always release the lock first, then pull the
terminal out while holding the connector. Damage can result if you forcibly pull the
terminal without releasing the lock, or pull by the cable instead of the connector.
• When using an input terminal other than a BNC terminal, make sure the polarity
of the input terminal is correct.
• Do not demagnetize the probe while the clamp is positioned around the
conductor under measurement. The demagnetization procedure can inject
current into the conductor under measurement, possibly resulting in damage to
connected components. For the same reason, make sure that the probe clamp
is not positioned around a conductor under measurement when supplying power
to the 701933. A demagnetizing waveform can be generated when power is
supplied.
1.
Ground the input of the waveform observation instrument and adjust the
trace to the zero position.
2.
Set the input coupling of the waveform measuring instrument to DC.
3.
Connect the output terminal of the 701933 to the input terminal of the
waveform observation instrument. Turn the connector until it clicks into
place, and confirm that it is securely locked.
4.
Without positioning the probe clamp around the conductor under
measurement, press the open/close lever until the unlocked indicator
goes out, then confirm that the sensor head is securely closed.
5.
Press the demagnetization switch (DEMAG) on the terminator.
6.
Turn the zero adjust dial on the terminator to adjust the trace to the zero
position.
7.
If you are unable to adjust the trace to zero in the step above, turn the
coarse adjustment trimmer until the trace comes within a range that can
be zeroed using the zero adjust dial.
Note
• The output from this probe is terminated internally. Use the probe with a waveform
measuring instrument of high input impedance. Accurate measurement cannot be
obtained at an input impedance of 50 Ω.
• Oscillation may occur when you execute DEMAG, but this has no effect on
measurements.
• The positive side of the waveform that is generated when you execute DEMAG may
not be symmetrical to the negative side, but this has no effect on measurements.
