AC Current Probe

Instruction Sheet

Introduction

The i3000s 24 Flex, i3000s 36 Flex, and i2000 Flex AC Current

Probes (hereafter referred to as “the Probe”) are used with

oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, recorders or data loggers. The

i3000s probes can be used to measure AC current up to 3000 A.

The i2000 can be used to measure AC current up to 2000 A. The

flexible measuring head allows current measurements on

conductors that are hard to reach or inaccessible using typical

clamp-on current probes.

The Probes provide a low-voltage (3 V AC for i3000s models,

and 2 V AC for i2000) output that is proportional to the current

being measured. The Probes provide full-scale direct readings for

30 A, 300 A, and 3000 A when using the i3000s models, and 20

A, 200 A, and 2000 A when using the i2000.

i3000/i2000 English Instruction Sheet Page 2 Safety Instructions In this instruction sheet, a Warning identifies conditions and actions that pose hazard(s) to the user. A Caution identifies conditions and actions that may damage the calibrator or the test instruments. WX Warning To avoid electric shock or personal injury: • Use the Probes only if qualified. • Use caution during installation and use of the Probe; high voltages and currents may be present in circuit under test.

i3000/i2000 English Instruction Sheet Page 3 • Adhere to local and national safety codes. Individual protective equipment must be used to prevent shock and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors are exposed. • CAT III equipment is designed to protect against the transients in the equipment in fixed equipment installations, such as distribution panels, feeders and short branch circuits, and the lighting systems in large buildings.

i3000/i2000 English Instruction Sheet Page 8 Measuring Current XWWarning • To avoid electric shock or injury, read Safety Instructions before operating this product • Ensure that the conductor to be tested is deenergized To measure current: 1. Connect the output of the electronics to the input of an oscilloscope or other data recording device. XWWarning To avoid electric shock or injury, the flexible current probe is not for use on conductors with a potential of over 600 V. 2.

i3000/i2000 English Instruction Sheet Page 9 Operation To activate the unit, move the switch from ‘Off’ position to the required measuring range. If the value of current being measured is unknown, select the 3000 A (i3000s models) or 2000 A (i2000) current range and then reduce accordingly. Battery Status Battery status is indicated by an LED on the front of the probe. This LED will flash one time when the unit is activated. The length of time the LED is lit will increase as battery life decreases.
