Page 4: Introduction
Read the instruction completely. • Use caution on any circuit: potentially high voltages and currents may be present and may pose a shock hazard. • Do not use the probe if damaged. Always connect the current probe to the measuring device before it is connected around the conductor • Do not use on non insulated conductor with a potential to ground greater than 600V CAT III pollution 2. Use extreme caution when clamping around bare conductors or bus bars. • Before each use, inspect the probe; look for cracks in housing or output cable insulation. • Do not use clamp in wet environment or in locations that hazard- ous gases exist. • Do not use the probe anywhere beyond the tactile barrier.

Page 7: Product Features
CHAPTER 2 PRODUCT FEATURES Description The SL261 AC/DC Current Oscilloscope Probe expands oscilloscope applications in industrial, automotive or power environments, and is ideal for analysis and measurement of distorted current waveforms and har- monics. The probe permits accurate display and measurement of currents from 100mA to 100Arms, DC to 100kHz without breaking into the circuit. The probe uses Hall effect technology to measure AC and DC signals. The probe connects directly to an oscilloscope through a 2 meter coaxial cable with an insulated BNC. Compatibility The Model SL261 is compatible with any analog or digital oscilloscope or other voltage-measuring instrument which has the following features: • BNC input connector • Range capable of displaying 0.2 to 0.5V per division • Minimum input impedance of 1MΩ AC/DC Current Oscilloscope Probe Model SL261... -

Page 15: Battery Indication (Green Led)
Battery Indication (Green LED) The probe has a battery condition LED. To ensure proper readings with your current probe, be sure that the green LED is lit during measurement. If not, replace the 9V battery. Peak Overload (OL) Indication (Red LED) The SL261 offers an overload indicator. If the red LED illuminates during measurement, this indicates that the peak value exceeds the instrument response level and that the output is distorted. Switch the probe to a higher range if possible. AC/DC Current Oscilloscope Probe Model SL261... -
Page 16: Maintenance
• To avoid electrical shock and/or damage to the instrument, do not allow water or other foreign substances into the case. • Disconnect the unit from all circuits and test cables before open- ing the case. Cleaning • To clean the probe body, use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild detergent and water. To clean the core, open the jaw and clean the exposed core surfaces with a cotton swab dampened with isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol) or ethyl alcohol (fotocol or ethanol). Lubricate the jaws mating surfaces with a light oil. • Do not use chemicals containing benzine, benzene, toluene, xylene, acetone, or similar solvents. • Do not immerse the probe in liquids or use abrasive cleaners.

Page 17: Replacing The Batteries
If the green battery indication LED does not light up when the probe is turned on, the batteries will need to be replaced. Do not replace the battery while probe is in use. To replace the battery: • Disconnect the probe from the circuit and the oscilloscope. • Turn the probe “OFF”. • Unscrew the battery compartment screw and pull out the battery com- partment cover. • Replace the battery and put the cover back on.
