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 HCP8000 Series probes,
power supply, cable, and oscilloscope.
The output of the current probe is terminated internally. Use a high impedance input to the measuring
instrument. Be sure to set the input impedance to 1 MΩ before making measurements. Set the oscilloscope’s
input coupling to DC. With the oscilloscope input at ground, adjust the trace to the zero position. Connect the
probe’s output connector to the oscilloscope’s input connector.
Connect the power supply to probe and the power indicator will light. Select suitable Range you want via the
Range Key.
Ensure that the probe sensor is NOT clamped around any conductors. Slide the probe’s Opening Lever 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. Always carry out demagnetizing and
Zero Setting before measurement and without current in the clamp. The demagnetizing and Zero Setting process
takes about a few seconds. During demagnetizing and Zero Setting, a demagnetizing waveform is output.
If degaussing and Zero Setting succeeds, the buzzer will make two short beeps. If degaussing and Zero Setting
failed, the buzzer will make a single sound, for one second.
Do not demagnetize while the conductor being measured is clamped. This could damage the components of the
circuit being measured. Also, check that the conductor being measured is not clamped when supplying power to
the current probe for the same reason. Demagnetized waveforms are generated when switching on the supply.
