Page 8: Getting Started
Overview The A622 current probe enables a general purpose oscilloscope to display AC and DC current signals up to 100 amps Peak (70 A RMS). The A622 current probe can also make AC and DC measurements with a multimeter by using the BNC-to-banana plug adapter available as a recommended accessory (see on page 15). -

2. Move the OFF/Range switch to the 10 mV/A or 100 mV/A position to power on the probe. The A622 current probe has a green LED power/battery indicator. If the LED does not light, replace the battery. 3. Use the ZERO adjustment to zero or offset the probe output. - Page 10 To increase the measurement sensitivity of the A622 current probe, loop additional turns of the wire under test through the jaws. See on page 10. The sensitivity of the A622 current probe is multiplied times the number of loops in the jaws. For example: 10 mV/A Figure 4 ×...
