1. Features and Applications The UT-P4000 series current probes are wide band width DC/AC active current probes, featuring high bandwidth, fast and accurate capture the current wave, accuracy up to 1% and low circuit insertion loss. This probe can be used with any oscilloscope having a high-impedance BNC input.
2. Description of products UT-P4030D UT-P4150、UT-P4500 1) Sensor Head The core component to measure conductor current. The component contains a precise semi-conductor that could be damaged by drastic change of environmental temperature, external pressure and shock. Please be careful during measurement. 2) Opening lever The operating lever used to open the sensor head.
3. Making Measurements Before using the probe, check that the system is safe and that the preparations described in Safe Probing. Have a visual inspection of the current probe of high frequency UT-P4000 Series probes, power supply, cable, and oscilloscope. ...
into the LOCKED position as shown in Figure. Confirm that the sensor head is properly closed. Degaussing and Zero Setting When the key is pressed, the probe will demagnetize the core and set the output to zero voltage if it has been magnetized by switching the power on and off, or by an excessive input.

measured. The facing surface of the core section can be scratched while it is open. Do not place any un-clamped conductor with an electric current of a frequency of 10 kHz or more near the sensor head. Current flowing in the conductor nearby may heat up the sensor head and cause its temperature to rise, leading to damage to the sensor.
Under certain circumstances, oscillation may occur if the probe is connected to the power supply while the power supply is on. This does not indicate a malfunction. Oscillation can be stopped and operation restored to normal by opening and closing the sensor head. Depending on the measured current frequency, some sound maybe produced by resonance, ...

Operating Method Note The output interface of this machine is set inside. When using the oscilloscope, please select high input resistance (1MΩ).
At the lock state, please do not press the entire part as shown below. 7.1 Preparation before testing Prepare the high frequency current probe UT-P4000 series, adapter and oscilloscope Power up the UT-P4000 probe and the green LED power indicator will be lighted.
9.1 Does UT-P4000 series fit the oscilloscope of any brand? A: UT-P4000 series has standard BNC interface can be applied to the oscilloscope of any brand. It is powered by standard adapter, independent of oscilloscope power, so it is very easy to use.
Make sure the probe is locked during testing. The probe should be away from the interference source like transformer. The method to judge if the probe is interfered is to put the probe close to circuit under test. IF there’s any output, there could be interference in the testing environment because the probe is not on the circuit yet.
