  • Page 8 • When handling power cables and sensor cables: This may result in fire, electric shock or equipment damage. If the power cord is damaged, contact IWATSU or our sales distributors for repair. Do not attempt to fabricate power cord and sensor cable.
  • Page 9 • Do not use this instrument when it has failed. Using a failed main unit or, cable or AC adaptor may be a cause of an electric shock or fire. In the event of a failure, contact Iwatsu office or our sales distributors for repair.
  • Page 10 The dirt causes electric shock, a fire or damage. • This instrument SS-560 and SS-570 might not be able to be used at the same time because there are restrictions on power consumption in the probe power on the oscilloscope side according to the measured current.
  • Page 11 Read this page to ensure proper safety. (to be continued) CAUTION • Do not supply current that exceeds the maximum continuous input range. The values are derived from the rise in temperature caused when the unit heats up during measurement. Do not input the current that exceeds this.
  • Page 12 Read this page to ensure proper safety. (to be continued) CAUTION • When removing the connector from the power supply receptacle, first unlock the connector, grasp the connector and pull to remove. Failure to remove the connector in this manner may damage the terminator.

  • Page 17 1 Overview 6. Demagnetizing switch (DEMAG) This can demagnetize the core if it has been magnetized by switching the power on and off, or by an excessive input. Always carry out demagnetizing before measurement. Moreover, the demagnetizing process takes about 3 second. During demagnetizing, a demagnetizing waveform is output.

  • Page 25: Measurement Procedure

    Appendix 3 Measurement Procedure 3.1 Notes on Use To avoid short circuits and potentially life-threatening hazards, follow these precautions. • Be sure to use this instrument on an insulated circuit. Moreover, do not use it for the bare conductor. • Be careful to avoid damaging the insulation surface of the insulated target conductor to be measured.
  • Page 26: Preparations For Measurement

    Appendix 3.2 Preparations for Measurement (1) Have this instrument, the power supply (PS-52 etc.) and oscilloscope or recorder for waveform measurement ready. Before turning on the power, make sure that the voltage of the power supply being used matches the supply voltage indicated on the rear panel of the PS-52 or PS-54.
  • Page 27: Demagnetizing And Zero Adjustment

    Appendix 3.3 Demagnetizing and Zero Adjustment (1) With the waveform measurement instrument input at ground, adjust the trace to the zero position. (2) Set the input coupling of the waveform measurement instrument to Connect the output connector of this instrument to the input connector of the waveform measurement instrument.
  • Page 28: Measurement Procedure

    Appendix (4) Before clamping an insulated target conductor to be measured, confirm that the clamp can be securely closed: press the slider until UNLOCK is no longer displayed, and hold it until LOCK appears. (5) Press the demagnetizing switch (DEMAG) on the terminator. (6) Turn the zero adjustment dial on the terminator to adjust the trace to the zero position.
  • Page 29 • The current consumption of this instrument depends on the current value to be measured. Confirm that the total current consumption of this instrument does not exceed the current of 600 mA. See Figure 7 (for SS-560) or Figure 8 (for SS-570). Fig.7 Current consumption* vs.
  • Page 30 Appendix • The maximum continuous input range is based on heat that is internally generated during measurement. Never input current in excess of this level. Exceeding the rated level may result in damage to this instrument. • The maximum continuous input range varies according to the frequency of the current to be measured.
  • Page 31 (1) 700 Apeak, for non-continuous input (1) indicates an upper waveform response limit of 300 Apeak (for SS-560) / 700 Apeak (for SS-570). Use the sensor at RMS current input levels that are within the maximum continuous input range. (2) indicates the upper response limit for a single input pulse.
  • Page 32 Appendix • The output of this instrument is terminated internally. Use a waveform measurement instrument with an input impedance of at least 1 MΩ. • Immediately after powering on, this instrument may be subject to an appreciable offset drift due to the effect of self-heating. To counteract this, allow the instrument to warm up for about 30 minutes before carrying out measurement.
  • Page 33 Appendix • When power is turned on, a demagnetizing waveform is initially applied to the output: this is not a fault. • Accurate measurement may be impossible in locations subject to strong external magnetic fields, such as transformers and high current conductors, or in locations subject to strong external electric fields, such as radio transmission equipment.
