Connection between the Current Probe and Digital 
Meter 
 
Connect the BNC connector of the RP1001C current probe and the 
input terminal of the digital meter using the BNC-to-banana plug 
adapter provided with the accessories. 
 
To measure only AC current, select the AC volts of the meter. To 
measure DC current, select the DC volts of the meter, and adjust the 
probe output to the proper DC offset. When connecting the current 
under test, please note the current convention arrow on the test 
clamp to get the proper polarity reading. 
 
Note: To increase the measurement sensitivity of the RP1001C 
current probe, loop additional turns of the wire under test through the 
test clamp. The sensitivity of the RP1001C current probe is multiplied 
times the number of loops in the test clamp, for example, 10 mV/A X 
4 turns = 40 mV/A.
