Pico Technology TA368 Current Probe User's Guide
WARNING. When the probe is used with the host
oscilloscope, a signal current exceeding the current full scale
measurement range is detected and indicated on the
measurement display. A red warning icon will appear in the
upper left corner and next to the relevant channel's vertical
axis:
Under these conditions, displayed waveforms and measurements may be incorrect and
the condition may be hazardous. Reduce input sensitivity to achieve a within-range
measurement and if the condition persists, to prevent injury or death, disable or otherwise
safely disconnect from the source of overcurrent.
WARNING. Peak load and fault currents associated with vehicle traction battery packs
and associated voltage converters are likely to exceed the peak current and/or voltage
rating of the current clamp. This current probe is not qualified or specified for this
application. To prevent injury or death, do not attempt to measure electric and hybrid
vehicle battery or inverter output currents with this current probe.
WARNING. Some accessories are marked with a 'CAT' rated voltage. CAT ratings apply
only to mains installations. In other types of application, you must observe the rated
voltage and not infer the CAT overvoltage rating.
CAUTION. Exceeding the overvoltage protection range on any cable, connector or
accessory can cause permanent damage to the oscilloscope and other connected
equipment.
Grounding
WARNING. The probe's ground connection through the host oscilloscope and USB cable
is for measurement purposes only. The probe does not have a protective safety ground.
External connections
CAUTION. Take care to avoid mechanical stress or tight bend radii for all connected
leads, including all coaxial leads and connectors, and do not attempt to form more than
one loop around the test conductor.. Mishandling will cause deformation and will degrade
performance and measurement accuracy.
Environment
WARNING. To prevent injury or death, do not use in wet or damp conditions, or near
explosive gas or vapor.
CAUTION. To prevent damage, always use and store your probe in appropriate
environments.
