  • Page 6: Safety Instructions

    Operator’s Manual Safety Instructions Follow these instructions to keep the probe operating in a correct and safe condition. Observe generally accepted safety procedures in addition to the precautions specified here. The overall safety of any system incorporating this accessory is the responsibility of the assembler of the system.
  • Page 7 CP150 and CP500 Current Probes Do not overload; observe all ratings. To avoid electric shock or fire, do not connect the current probe to any wire that carries voltages or currents that exceed the ratings of the probe. Connect and disconnect properly. Connect the probe to the measurement instrument before connecting to the circuit/conductor being measured.

  • Page 13: Operation

    CP150 and CP500 Current Probes Operation Precautions The sensor head is a precision assembly consisting of a molded component with a ferrite core and a Hall effect element. It may be damaged if subjected to sudden changes in temperature, mechanical strain or shock.
  • Page 14: Connecting To The Test Instrument

    Operator’s Manual Connecting to the Test Instrument The probe has been designed for use with the Teledyne LeCroy instruments equipped with the ProBus interface. When you attach the probe output connector to the instrument’s input connector, the instrument will: Recognize the probe model •...
  • Page 15: Operating With An Oscilloscope

    CP150 and CP500 Current Probes Operating with an Oscilloscope When connected to a Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscope, the displayed scale factor and measurement values will be adjusted to account for the effective gain of the probe. A/div, Offset, and Coupling, and Bandwidth (BWL) are controlled from the Channel setup (Cx) dialog.
  • Page 16 Operator’s Manual AC Coupling In general, using offset to adjust a DC current on the screen is the preferred method to measure transient signals in the presence of a larger DC currents. The offset has limits that will cause a signal that is beyond the linear operating range of the probe to go off the screen, preventing measurement errors.
  • Page 17: Performance Verification

    Performance Verification This procedure can be used to verify the warranted characteristics of the probe. The recommended calibration interval for the models CP150 and CP500 Current Probes is one year. The complete performance verification procedure should be performed as the first step of annual calibration.
  • Page 18: Test Equipment Required

    Test Equipment Required The following table lists the test equipment and accessories (or their equivalents) which are required for performance verification of the CP150/CP0500 Current Probes. Because the input and output connector types may vary on different brands and models of test instruments, additional adapters or cables may be required.
  • Page 19: Functional Check

    1. Open the C1 setup dialog and confirm that the bandwidth is set to Full (BWL OFF). 2. Verify that the probe is sensed and the probe dialog (CP150 or CP500 tab) appears behind the C1 setup dialog. 3. Open the probe dialog and degauss the probe by touching DEGAUSS, then OK.

    Probe Output ________________ V Limits: 99 - 101 mV for CP150 0.495 - 0.505 V for CP500 Permission is granted to photocopy this page and record the results of the performance verification procedure on the copy. File the completed record as required by applicable internal quality procedures.
  • Page 22: Care And Maintenance

    Service Strategy Defective probes must be returned to a Teledyne LeCroy service facility for diagnosis and exchange. A defective probe under warranty will be replaced with a factory refurbished probe. A probe that is not under warranty can be exchanged for a factory refurbished probe.
  • Page 23: Returning A Product For Service

    CP150 and CP500 Current Probes Returning a Product for Service Contact your regional Teledyne LeCroy service center for calibration or other service. If the product cannot be serviced on location, the service center will give you a Return Material Authorization (RMA) code and instruct you where to ship the product. All products returned to the factory must have an RMA.
