AC/DC Current Oscilloscope Probe Model SL261 Warning These safety warnings are provided to ensure the safety of personnel and proper operation of the instrument. • Connect the probe to the oscilloscope or voltage measuring instrument before clamping the probe around a conductor.
If the equipment appears to be damaged, file a claim immediately with the carrier and notify your distributor at once, giving a detailed description of any damage. Packaging The shipping container includes the SL261 AC/DC Current Oscilloscope Probe with a separate battery (not installed) and this user manual. Compatibility •...
AC/DC Current Oscilloscope Probe Model SL261 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 harmonics. The probe permits accurate display and measurement of currents from 100mA to 100Arms, DC to 100kHz without breaking into the circuit.

AC/DC Current Oscilloscope Probe Model SL261 Linearity for a DC Signal Range 10mV/A Typical Specification -10% -12% -14% -16% 100A Accuracy Operation Zero Adjustment The probe has a zero adjustment which should be adjusted before measurement. Alternatively, you may “zero” with the oscilloscope instead.
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 Repair and Calibration To ensure that your instrument meets factory specifications, we recommend that it be submitted to our factory Service Center at one-year intervals for recalibration, or as required by other standards or internal procedures.
