Charging the Sensor

Connect Go Direct Current to the included USB Charging Cable and any USB

device for two hours.

You can also charge up to eight Go Direct Current Probes using our GoDirect

Charge Station, sold separately (order code: GDX-CRG). An LED on each Go

Direct Current indicates charging status.

Go Direct

Current

(Order Code GDX-CUR)

Go Direct Current is designed for exploring

the basic principles of electricity. Use Go

Direct Current to measure currents in low

voltage AC and DC circuits. With a range of

±1 A, this sensor is ideal for use in most

“battery and bulb” circuits.
