On the back of the protective housing is a notch for the attachment of a belt clip (optional). With the Multifix magnetic mounting accessory, you can position your Digital FlexProbe anywhere, leaving both hands free. The Multifix can ® be used to: •...
CHAPTER 3 OPERATION Measurement Principle The flexible sensor is based on the Rogowski coil. This principle combines: • Excellent linearity with no saturation effect (therefore no heating) • Light-weight (no magnetic circuit) 3.2.1 Connection 1. Press the locking clip(s) to open the sensor. 2.
If the measurement exceeds the display capacity (4000A), the device dis- plays 3999, blinking. If the measurement is too low (see § 3.2), the device displays dashes. If the edges of the signal are too steep, or its peak factor is too large, the device displays OL.
3.2.4 Search for Maximum To search for a maximum, for example a spike lasting at least 100ms, press the HOLD (MAX > 2s) button for more than two seconds. The Max symbol will display and the instrument will begin measuring. The Digital Flexprobe compares each new measurement to the one ®...
