Comply with the following safety precautions to avoid personal injury or damage to your equipment: Use only as specified. The probe is intended to be used only with compatible Teledyne LeCroy instruments. Using the probe and/or the equipment it is connected to in a manner other than specified may impair the protection mechanisms.

CP03x/CP03xA Current Probes Do not overload; observe all ratings. To avoid electric shock or fire, do not connect the current probe to any wire that carries voltages or currents that exceed the ratings of the probe. Connect and disconnect properly. Connect the probe to the measurement instrument before connecting to the circuit/conductor being measured.
DC, AC and impulse currents. The CP030 and CP030A have a 50 MHz bandwidth and are designed to measure continuous currents up to 30 Amp. The CP030-3M probe has a 10 MHz bandwidth and is designed to measure continuous currents up to 30 Amp.

Operator’s Manual Operation Precautions The sensor head is a precision assembly consisting of a molded component with a ferrite core and a Hall effect element. It may be damaged if subjected to sudden changes in temperature, mechanical strain or shock, or application of static electricity. The mating surfaces of the sensor are precision ground and should be treated with care.
CP03x/CP03xA Current Probes Connecting to the Test Instrument The probe has been designed for use with the Teledyne LeCroy instruments equipped with the ProBus interface. When you attach the probe output connector to the instrument’s input connector, the instrument will: Recognize the probe model •...
The front panel Volts/div knob controls the oscilloscope’s scale factor and the probe’s internal attenuation to give full available dynamic range from 10mA/div to 15 A/div for CP030 and CP031, or 1 mA/div to 15 A/div for CP030A and CP031A. CP031A and CP031A will automatically adjust attenuation based on the A/div setting.

CP03x/CP03xA Current Probes AC Coupling In general, using offset to adjust a DC current on the screen is the preferred method to measure transient signals in the presence of a larger DC currents. The offset has limits that will cause a signal that is beyond the linear operating range of the probe to go off the screen, preventing measurement errors.
Performance Verification This procedure can be used to verify the warranted characteristics of the probe. The recommended calibration interval for the models CP030, CP030-3M, CP030A, CP031, and CP031A Current Probes is one year. The complete performance verification procedure should be performed as the first step of annual calibration. Performance verification can be completed without removing the probe covers or exposing the user to hazardous voltages.
Operator’s Manual Functional Check The functional check will verify the basic operation of the probe functions. It is recommended to perform the functional check prior to the performance verification procedure. 1. Open the C1 setup dialog and confirm that the bandwidth is set to Full (BWL OFF).
CP03x/CP03xA Current Probes 1. Set the Function generator to 50 Hz sine wave, output voltage at 3 Vrms with 50Ω output. 2. Remove the probe from the instrument and reconnect using the ProBus extension cable. Connect the BNC male connector of the ProBus extension to DMM #1 using a BNC Female to Dual Banana adapter.

Service Strategy Defective probes must be returned to a Teledyne LeCroy service facility for diagnosis and exchange. A defective probe under warranty will be replaced with a factory refurbished probe. A probe that is not under warranty can be exchanged for a factory refurbished probe.
4. Package the probe case in a cardboard shipping box with adequate padding to avoid damage in transit. 5. Mark the outside of the box with the shipping address given to you by Teledyne LeCroy; be sure to add the following: ATTN: <RMA code assigned by the Teledyne LeCroy>...
