2. Move the OFF/ Range switch to the 10 mV/A or 100 mV/A position to turn on the probe. (*The CP62 current probe has a green LED power/battery indicator. If the LED does not light, replace the battery or use specified power adapter.) 3. -
Page 15: Multimeter Measurements
To increase the measurement sensitivity of the CP62 current probe, loop additional turns of the wire under test through the jaws. See Figure 7. The sensitivity of the CP62 current probe is multiplied times the number of loops in the jaws. For example: 10 mV/A X 4 turns = 40 mV/A. -
Page 16: Maintenance
It is safe to power the CP62 with the AC adapter while the battery is installed. Disconnecting the external power supply will not produce waveform anomaly or any damage. However, when operating the CP62 with the AC adapter for an extended time period (more than 1 week), removal of the battery is recommended, to avoid battery leakage. -
