Page 7: Safety Instructions
Instruction Manual Safety Instructions This section contains instructions that must be observed to keep this oscilloscope accessory operating in a correct and safe condition. You are required to follow generally accepted safety procedures in addition to the precautions specified in this section. The overall safety of any system incorporating this accessory is the responsibility of the assembler of the system. -
Page 8: Operating Environment
To avoid short circuits and accidents that could result in injury or death, use the CP500 current probe only with conductors carrying 600 V (CAT II) or 300 V (CAT III) or less. ... -
Page 9: Overview
The probe can be used with a WaveRunner, WavePro, or LC series oscilloscope with firmware 4.3.0.0 or higher. With the ProBus interface, the CP500 becomes an integral part of the oscilloscope. The bandwidth limit, auto zero and degauss functions are all controlled from the oscilloscope’s graphical user interface. -
Page 10: Operation
1 MΩ and activate the probe control functions in the user interface. Connecting the Probe to the Test Circuit The CP500 has been designed with a movable split core, eliminating the need to break the conductor for the core to slip around the conductor. -

CP500 dialog. AC Coupling DC, Ground or AC coupling can be selected through the CP500 dialog. AC coupling occurs at the input of the oscilloscope and not at the probe input. When using the CP500 in the AC coupling mode and measuring AC signals with a DC component, care must be taken to assure that the dynamic range of the probe will not be exceeded. -
Page 12: Insertion Impedance
CP500 Current Probe An Auto Zero is automatically performed as part of the degauss cycle. NOTE: Never install or remove the probe on bare conductors which are energized. The transformer core and shield are grounded but not insulated and may contact the conductor when the locking lever is open. -
Page 13: Care And Maintenance
Instruction Manual Figure 2. Insertion Impedance B In a closed loop AC/DC current probe, the magnetizing inductance term drops out because the bucking coil prevents the core from being magnetized (Figure 2). In addition to the impedance resulting from probe insertion, any loop wire added to the conductor to gain access to the conductor will increase the total impedance of the conductor. -
Page 14: Service Strategy
CP500 Current Probe 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. A modest fee is charged for this service. -

5. Package the probe case in a cardboard shipping box with adequate padding to avoid damage in transit. 6. Mark the outside of the box with the shipping address given to you by the Teledyne Lecroy representative; be sure to add the following: •... -
Page 16: Performance Verification
CP500 Current Probe Performance Verification This procedure can be used to verify the warranted characteristics of the CP500 Current Probe. The recommended calibration interval for the model CP500 Current Probe is one year. The complete performance verification procedure should be performed as the first step of annual calibration. -
Page 17: Preliminary Procedure
1. Connect the CP500 to the channel 1 input of the oscilloscope and completely close the probe locking lever. 2. Turn the oscilloscope on and allow at least 30 minutes warmup time for the CP500 and test equipment before performing the Verification Procedure. -

CP500 Current Probe 7. Degauss the probe by touching DEGAUSS (on the CP500 dialog), then OK. 8. Verify that “Degaussing CP500 probe...” is displayed at the top of the screen and no error message remains displayed. Check LF Accuracy Figure 3. LF Accuracy Test set up. -
Page 19: Adjustment Procedure
Instruction Manual 7. Open the CP500 locking lever and position the probe input around the 500 Turn loop. Close and LOCK the locking lever. 8. Adjust the Function generator voltage until the voltage measured at the ’Current Sense’ terminals (DMM #2) reads 50 mV ±0.05 mV. (This corresponds to 500 A at the probe head). -
Page 20: Preliminary Procedure
2. Connect the CP500 compensation board to the channel 1 input of the oscilloscope through the ProBUS extension cable, and close and lock the probe jaws. 3. Turn the oscilloscope on and allow at least 30 minutes warmup time for the CP500 and test equipment before performing the Verification Procedure. -
