AC Current (Flexible Current Probe)
XW
Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock or personal injury:
Do not apply the Flexible Current Probe around or remove from HAZARDOUS
LIVE conductors. Take special care during fitting and removal of the Flexible
Current Probe. De-energize the installation under test or wear suitable protective
clothing.
To use the Flexible Current Probe, follow these instructions:
1.
Connect the Flexible Current Probe to the Meter. See Figure 5.
2.
Connect the flexible part of the Flexible Current Probe around the conductor. If opening the
end of the Flexible Current Probe to make the connection, make sure that you close and
latch it. See the detail in Figure 5. You should be able to hear and feel the Flexible Current
Probe lock snap into place.
Note
When measuring current, center the conductor in the Flexible Current Probe. If possible,
avoid taking measurements close to other current-carrying conductors.
3.
Keep the probe coupling more than 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the conductor.
4.
Turn the Rotary Function Switch to
D
. When the Rotary Function Switch is in the correct
position,
Y
shows on the display, meaning that the readings are coming from the Flexible
Current Probe.
