•
Align the probe so that the probe's current direction indication corresponds to the direction of
current flow through the conductor to be measured, as shown below. Also, align the clamp so that
the conductor is in the center of the sensor aperture.
•
Slide the opening lever on the sensor head to the lock position until the UNLOCK indication
disappears. Check that the opening lever is firmly locked, and the sensor head securely closed.
You are now ready to make the measurement.
Safe Probing
This device is designed to comply with Safety Standards and has been thoroughly tested for safety
prior to shipment. However, mishandling during use could result in injury or death, as well as damage
to the device. Be certain that you understand the instructions and precautions in the manual before
use. We disclaim any responsibility for accidents or injuries not resulting directly from device defects.
To avoid short circuits and potentially life-threatening hazards, follow these warnings and precautions:
•
Never attach the clamp to a circuit that operates over the maximum rated voltage to earth.
•
Do not clamp around bare conductors during measurement.
•
While clamping and measuring, do not touch the clamp in front of the barrier, or the conductor
being measured.
•
Be careful to avoid damaging the DUT conductor insulation while taking measurements.
•
Make sure that the oscilloscope connected to this device's output BNC connector is equipped with
protective earthing with double-insulation construction.
•
Do not allow the T3CP current probe to get wet, and do not take measurements with wet hands.
This may cause an electric shock.
•
Read and observe all warnings and precautions relating to electrical safety for the measuring
instrument (typically an oscilloscope) being connected to the probe.
•
Do not store or use the probe where it could be exposed to direct sunlight, high temperature,
humidity, or condensation. Under such conditions, the probe may be damaged and insulation may
deteriorate so that it no longer meets specifications.
