Hazardous contact voltages Do not use the probe at uninsulated live lines. Make sure to measure at sufficiently insulated conductors. -
Page 9: Product Description
Key features Product description The R&S RT-ZC10B is an AC/DC current probe. It allows the user to make cur- rent measurements from DC to 10 MHz. By clamping on the conductor to be measured, the current waveform is captured easily without interrupting the elec- tric circuit. -

Page 14: Connecting The Probe
Handling the probe Connecting the probe Handling the probe The R&S RT-ZC10B can withstand a moderate amount of physical and electrical stress. To avoid damage, treat the probe with care: ● Prevent the probe from receiving mechanical shock. ● Avoid strain on the probe cable and route it carefully. Keep the cable away from heat sources, as bare conductors could be exposed if the insulation melts. -
Page 15: Connecting The Probe To The Oscilloscope
Check that the conductor being measured is not clamped when connecting the R&S RT-ZC10B to the oscilloscope. 2. NOTICE! Risk of damaging the probe. Connect the probe only to an instrument with Rohde & Schwarz probe inter- face. -

Page 17: Setting Up And Demagnetizing
2. NOTICE! Risk of circuit damage. Demagnetizing causes current to flow into the conductor, which may damage parts in the circuit to be measured. Do not demagnetize while the R&S RT-ZC10B is clamping a conductor to be mea- sured. Make sure that there is no conductor in the sensor aperture. -

Page 19: Considerations For Measurements
® Connecting the probe R&S RT-ZC10B Considerations for measurements Considerations for measurements Measurements of continuous input current To avoid damage to the probe when doing measurements of continuous input cur- rent, consider the following: ● The maximum continuous input range is based on heat that is internally gen- erated during measurement. - Page 20 ® Connecting the probe R&S RT-ZC10B Considerations for measurements utive maximum current, electric currents in both sides will heat up the sensor and raise the temperature, thereby causing damage to the sensor. Drift, oscillation, and sound ● Immediately after powering on, the probe may be subject to an appreciable offset drift due to the effect of self-heating.
- Page 21 ® Connecting the probe R&S RT-ZC10B Considerations for measurements At high frequencies, common mode noise may affect measurements taken on the high-voltage side of circuits. If this occurs, reduce the frequency range of the waveform measuring instrument, or clamp onto the low-voltage side of the circuit, as appropriate.
