TCPA300/400 Amplifiers and TCP300/400 Series Current Probes Instruction Manual
Replace the current transformer of the probe as follows:
1. Gently lift the front edge of the circuit board and transformer enough to clear
the probe body. Refer to Figure 7--13.
2. Pull the transformer socket straight off the circuit board pins.

3. Before reassembling the probe, be sure that the gap between the stationary
and moveable core pieces is clean. If necessary, use isopropyl alcohol or a
similar cleaning agent to clean the pieces. Also, clean the contacts of the
slide switch, if necessary. If the plastic slide assembly requires lubrication,
sparingly apply silicone-based grease to the parts.
4. Probe reassembly is the reverse of steps 1 through 2 of this procedure and
steps 1 through 5 on pages 7--14 through 7--15.
NOTE. Exercise care when fitting the slide back into the probe body; aligning the
switch contacts can require patience.
