OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Pay special attention to the flexible current probe connecions.
1. Connect the flexible probe around the conductor.
2. Make sure the current flowing direction is in consistent with the arrow marked on the probe
coupling. If the flexible current probe is connected in the right orientation, the correct phase
will be displayed in the oscilloscope.
3. Keep the probe coupling more than 25mm away from the conductor.
WARNING: Always wear appropriate gloves in operation.
NOTE: Select the correct CLAMPin the SETUP menu. When the current probe is connected to the
power analyzer, the power analyzer will automatically detect the range selected.
NOTE: Select the correct frequency (Hz) in the SETUP menu.
