  • Page 41 Preparing for Measurement What is demagnetization? The magnetic core can be magnetized, which results from turning the power on and off, inputting an excessively large current, or other factors. Executing demagnetization eliminates magnetic charges. What is automatic zero-adjustment? Automatic zero-adjustment corrects variations in the offset voltage caused by factors such as the device-specific offset voltage and variations in temperature.
  • Page 42 Preparing for Measurement How to execute demagnetizing and automatic zero-adjustment IMPORTANT Do not move the sensor during demagnetization or automatic zero-adjustment.

  • Page 48 Measuring Currents DANGER • Confirm that the insulation on a conductor is not worn or damaged before clamping the sensor around the conductor to be measured. Also, take care not to damage the insulation when clamping the sensor around the conductor. Damage to the conductor insulation can cause an electric shock.
  • Page 49 Measuring Currents WARNING Do not hold down the DEMAG / AUTO ZERO when the sensor is clamped around a conductor to be measured. Starting magnetization can cause damage to the circuit being measured, which can lead to bodily injury. Conductor to be measured Do not hold down the key.
  • Page 50 Measuring Currents CAUTION • Do not apply high voltage, including static electricity, to the sensor. Doing so may damage its internal Hall element and circuitry. • Do not pass a current through a conductor to be measured when Model 3269 Power Supply or a host waveform measuring instrument is off.
  • Page 51 Measuring Currents CAUTION Do not place any conductor carrying a current with a frequency of 10 kHz or more close to the jaws even when the sensor is not clamped around a conductor. A current flowing through conductors near the sensor may heat up the sensor heads, leading to damage to the device.
  • Page 52 Measuring Currents CAUTION • Do not prevent heat radiation from the device. Never input a current that exceeds the maximum rated current value*. The maximum rated current is affected by a temperature increase caused by self-heating during measurement. An temperature increase in the device cause damage to the device, a short-circuit, or electric shock.
  • Page 53 Measuring Currents CAUTION • Use the device for measuring currents much lower than the maximum rated current value if an ambient temperature is relatively high or a current to be measured can contain frequency components other than the fundamental. Self- heating could damage the device even if the current being measured is lower than the maximum rated current.
