Safety
Observe these instructions to keep the product operating in a correct and safe
condition. Follow generally accepted safety procedures in addition to the precautions
specified in this section. The overall safety of any system incorporating this product
is the responsibility of the assembler of the system.
Symbols
These symbols appear on the product or in its documentation to alert you to
important safety considerations.
CAUTION of potential damage to product, or WARNING of potential bodily
injury. Refer to the manual to protect against injury or damage. Do not
proceed until conditions are fully understood and met.
Precautions
Use only as intended. The product is intended to be used only with the compatible
Teledyne LeCroy instruments. Using the product and/or the equipment it is connected
to in a manner other than specified may impair the protection mechanisms.
Do not apply a voltage to any input that exceeds the maximum rating of that input.
Refer to the body of the oscilloscope and the product page at teledynelecroy.com for
detailed information.
Use indoors only. The accessory is intended for indoor use and should be operated in
a clean, dry, environment. Do not use in wet/damp or explosive atmospheres.

Operator's Manual
Introduction
The CA10 ProBus Current Adapter allows current transducers and transformers that
output a voltage or current signal proportional to a measured current to be easily
connected to an oscilloscope or motor drive analyzer. Specific information about the
input device is programmed into the CA10 so that when the device is connected to
the instrument it will correct for the transducer/transformer gain or attenuation and
display the result in Ampere units.
Using the CA10 with transducers/transformers saves the time (and errors) involved
in manually entering scaling factors and units each time the device is connected to
the instrument.
CAUTION. The secondary of a current transformer (CT), when unterminated,
can generate hazardous open-circuit voltages when energized. These
voltages could be dangerous to personnel and damage the oscilloscope. If the
CA10 is used with an unterminated current transformer, you must install a
suitably rated terminating resistor in the CA10 before energizing the CT. See
Customizing the CA10 for details.

Connecting the CA10
Using the Heat-Shrink Tubing
We highly recommend using the included heat-shrink tubing to semi-permanently
attach the CA10 to the transducer/transformer for which it has been programmed.
However, the heat-shrink tubing is not required, and the CA10 will function perfectly
without it.
Cut the tubing into 1.5" length sleeves before using.
Connecting the CA10 to the Transducer/Transformer
1. Slip one of the sleeves over the transducer/transformer's BNC output connector.
2. Connect the device to the CA10 BNC input connector.
2

Operator's Manual
3. Slide up the sleeve so that it is flush to the body of the CA10 and completely
covers the connector. Apply heat until the wrap snugly encases the connection.
4. If desired, attach a removable label the front of the CA10 case and write the
name and/or setup of the attached device.
5. Connect the CA10 to a ProBus input on the instrument.

Programming the CA10
When the CA10 is first connected to the instrument, you will be asked if you want to
program it. Select Yes to display the CA10 dialog:
Enter all the device settings on the dialog, then select Save to Adapter.
In the future, the CA10 will update channel settings automatically as long as there is a
program saved on it. The CA10 dialog will appear behind the input channel dialog
whenever it is connected to the instrument, with the sensor name appearing next to
the channel number on the tab.
To change the programming, open the CA10 dialog, then select Edit before modifying
the settings. Use Clear to quickly clear the previous settings. These buttons are only
active after a program has been saved.
Remember to Save to Adapter after reprogramming.

Operator's Manual
Customizing the CA10
Current transducers with a voltage output proportional to a current input can directly
drive the input impedance of the instrument: DC1MΩ, AC1MΩ or 50Ω.
Bandwidth filters can be applied to the input chanels via the CA10 programming
interface: Full BW, 200MHz or 20MHz.
It is also possible to customize the CA10 through addition of shunt resistors and
other bandwidth filtering components. Current transformers (CTs) output a current
signal proportional to the turns ratio and require that a suitably rated R4, R13 and/or
R14 terminating resistor be installed in the CA10 to provide a voltage output to the
oscilloscope. It is the operator's responsibility to ensure that these resistors are
suitably rated for the input current at J3 in the schematic below.
A schematic of the user-installable components is shown below. The CA10 comes
from the factory with a 0Ω (short) installed in the L1 location, and no components in
the other locations shown.
Resistive Termination
The locations R13 and R14 can be used to install a specific value of termination
resistance. These two locations will allow 1206 sized surface mount resistors to be
installed. The location R4 is intended for a precision axial resistor and is particularly
suited to small value precision resistors that might be required.

Filter Components
The locations C7, C8 and L1 can be used to create a filter to remove higher frequency
noise that might be present at a current transducer or transformer output. The
specific components that might be installed depends on the desired frequency
response as well as the instrument and transducer impedance. Some possible
combinations are shown below:
Scope termination 1MΩ
Source termination 50Ω
-3dB FREQUENCY 1 MHz
L1 50Ω
