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. Be careful not to damage the insulation surface when making measurements. Before clamping to the conductor being measured, check that the insulation on the conductor is undamaged, and take care not to damage the insulation when clamping the conductor.
DC/AC 100 A Peak, 70 A rms, 2 MHz Bandwidth Teledyne Test Tools new T3CP100-2 current probe is a 2MHz bandwidth active AC/DC coupled probe, featuring 2 ranges of 100 A Peak, 70 A rms / 10A Peak, 7 A rms, fast and accurate waveform capture, risetime of <...
When the voltage of the battery is 6.5V or lower the low battery indicator will be lit red indicating that the battery should be changed or external power applied to the probe. External DC Power Socket This is the point where the external power supply (supplied) is connected to the T3CP100-2 current probe. High / Low Range Indicators During use of the probe one of the high / low indicators will always be lit indicating the current measurement range selected.

DVM / DMM then a BNC to banana plug cable may be required (not supplied), see your DVM / DMM manual. 1m BNC to BNC Output Cable Power Supply The supplied wall socket power supply (not illustrated) can be used to power the T3CP100-2 current probe in place of batteries if required. Page 5...
• Set the oscilloscope’s input coupling to DC and channel attenuation ratio to 10:1 or 100:1 for correct scaling depending on the T3CP100-2 range being used. For the L range set the oscilloscope attenuation ratio to 10:1, for the H range set the oscilloscope attenuation ratio to 100:1.
• Before using the probe for the first time, verify that it operates normally to ensure that no damage has occurred during storage or shipping. If you find any damage, contact your dealer or a Teledyne LeCroy representative. • This device is not designed to be water or dust proof. To avoid damage, do not use it in a wet or dusty environment.
