CP03x/CP03xA Current Probes test before connecting or disconnecting the probe. Avoid damaging cables through excessive bending. 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.
The probes utilize a combination of Hall-effect and transformer technology which enables measurements to be made on DC, AC and impulse currents. The CP030 and CP030A have a 50 MHz bandwidth and are designed to measure continuous currents up to 30 Amp.

Connecting to the Test Instrument The probe has been designed for use with the Teledyne LeCroy instruments equipped with the ProBus interface. When you attach the probe output connector to the instrument’s input connector, the instrument will: Recognize the probe model •...
Operating with an Oscilloscope When the probe is connected to a Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscope, the displayed scale factor and measurement values will be adjusted to account for the effective gain of the probe.
Page 16
The front panel Volts/div knob controls the oscilloscope’s scale factor and the probe’s internal attenuation to give full available dynamic range from 10mA/div to 15 A/div for CP030 and CP031, or 1 mA/div to 15 A/div for CP030A and CP031A. CP031A and CP031A will automatically adjust attenuation based on the A/div setting.
Performance Verification This procedure can be used to verify the warranted characteristics of the probe. The recommended calibration interval for the models CP030, CP030A, CP031, and CP031A Current Probes is one year. The complete performance verification procedure should be performed as the first step of annual calibration. Performance verification can be completed without removing the probe covers or exposing the user to hazardous voltages.
Operator’s Manual Functional Check The functional check will verify the basic operation of the probe functions. It is recommended to perform the functional check prior to the performance verification procedure. 1. Open the C1 setup dialog and confirm that the bandwidth is set to Full (BWL OFF).
CP03x/CP03xA Current Probes 1. Set the Function generator to 50 Hz sine wave, output voltage at 3 Vrms with 50Ω output. 2. Remove the probe from the instrument and reconnect using the ProBus extension cable. Connect the BNC male connector of the ProBus extension to DMM #1 using a BNC Female to Dual Banana adapter.

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.
Operator’s Manual Returning a Product for Service Contact your local Teledyne LeCroy service center for calibration or other service. If the product cannot be serviced on location, the service center will give you a Return Material Authorization (RMA) code and instruct you where to ship the product. All products returned to the factory must have an RMA.
Spare parts, replacement parts and repairs are warranted for 90 days. In exercising its warranty, Teledyne LeCroy, at its option, will either repair or replace any assembly returned within its warranty period to the Customer Service Department or an authorized service center.
2 Emissions which exceed the levels required by this standard may occur when the probe is connected to a test object. 3 To ensure compliance with the applicable EMC standards, use high quality shielded interface cables.
