Page 7: Product Features
The sensor assembly is waterproof and insulated for 1000V CAT III; 600V CAT IV. The FlexProbe meets EN 61010-1 and is CE marked. ® The FlexProbe has a mV output proportional to the current measured ® for direct readings on DMMs, data loggers, oscilloscopes, and power or harmonic meters. TRMS measurements are taken when connected to a TRMS meter. The FlexProbe is insensitive to DC currents and only the ® AC component of the measured signal is measured. The sensor length is 24".

Page 13: Operation
Overload LED goes on. 4. Example: a. Read the DMM displayed value: 2.59V b. Determine the range and output used on the FlexProbe: 0.01V/A for the 300A range; .001V/A for the 3000A range c. Divide the reading by the output to determine the actual current value: 2.59 ÷ 0.01 = 259A or 2.59 ÷ 0.001 = 2590A For best accuracy, carefully center the conductor inside the flexible core, and avoid if possible, the proximity of other conductors which may create noise and interference (particularly near the latch). True RMS measurements are obtained when the FlexProbe is connected ® to a True RMS meter. Note that the DC component is not measured.

Page 14: Tips For Making Precise Measurements
FlexProbe may be wrapped several ® times around the conductor. Remember to divide your reading by the number of turns for the actual measurement (See Figure 1). • The overall measurement accuracy is the sum of the FlexProbe accuracy and the displaying instru- ® ment accuracy. • The FlexProbe may be doubled around the con- ® ductor to be measured to double the output.

• The green LED should go on when the module is turned on. Cleaning • Use a soft cloth lightly dampened with soapy water, then dry with a dry cloth. • Do not splash water directly on the instrument. • Do not use alcohol, solvents or hydrocarbons. • Make sure the sensor, electronic module, and all leads are dry before any further use.
