2. Align the current sensor so that the current direction
indication corresponds to the direction of current flowing
through the conductor to be measured. Clamp the conductor
to be measured so that the conductor is in the center of the
sensor aperture.
3. Lock the current sensor by pushing the slide switch in the
direction of the arrow as shown in the figure below (for
RP1003C and RP1004C, the slide switch should be at the
LOCK position; for RP1005C, you need to first press the
current probe to close the current sensor and then push the
slide switch until LOCK is displayed and UNLOCK disappears).
4. At this point, you can view the voltage amplitude of the
waveform measured by the measuring instrument and
calculate the actual current amplitude (current
amplitude=voltage amplitude measured/gain of the current
probe). For example, when the voltage amplitude measured
is 2V and the gain of the current probe is 0.1V/A, the actual
current amplitude is 2V/(0.1V/A)=20A.
