2. INTRODUCTION
The CP 30, CP 330, CP 1100 and CP 1800 AC/ DC
current probe have been designed for reliable and
accurate, non-intrusive m easurement of AC, DC and
complex waveform currents.
Using advanced Hall Effect technology the CP 30,
CP 330 and CP 1100 can measure currents accurately
up to 30 Amps (CP 30), up to 450A (CP 330), up to 1400A
(CP 1100) and up to 1800A (CP 1800).
Measurement features include:
AC and DC current measu rement
High accuracy
1mA / 50mA / 100 mA Resolution
Auto Power Off
These features make it a powerful tool for use in inv erters,
switch mode power supplies, industrial controllers and
other applications requiring current measurement and/or
waveform analysis.

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4.1 Switch On
When the probe is switched on, the gre en LED will
illuminate. The LED starts flashing when the battery
2
voltage is too low for normal o peration and warns the user
that it requires changing. This pr ocedure is described in
Section 5.
4.2 Auto Zero
5
The output zero offset voltage of the probe may change
due to thermal shifts and other environmental conditions.
To null the output voltage depress the Auto Zero button.
Ensure that the probe is away from the current carrying
conductor whilst the probe is being nulled.
4.3 Current Measurement
Switch on the probe and check that the LED is lit.
Connect the output lead to an oscilloscope, multim eter or
other measuring equipm ent.
Zero the probe using th e Auto Zero button.
Clamp the jaws of the probe round the co nductor
ensuring a good contact between the closing faces of the
jaws.
Observe and take measuremen ts as required. Positive
output indicates that the current flow is in the direction
shown by the arrow on the probe.
4.4 Auto Power OFF
In order to save battery life, the probe will automatically
switch itself off after approximately 10 minutes. To
disable the Auto power off f unction, Switch Off the probe
and Switch On whilst pressi ng the auto zero button. The
red LED will illuminate and the probe will stay On until
switched off again.
4.5 Battery Replacement
The green or red LED will flash when the minimum
operating voltage is a pproached. Refer to Fig.1. Use the
following procedure.
Unclamp the probe from the conductor, turn it off using
the On - Off switch and disconnect the output leads, from
external equipment.
Loosen the captive scre w which secures the battery
cover. Lift the cover through 30° and pull it clear of the
probe body as shown in Fig 1. Replace the battery and
re-fit the battery cover and fasten the screw.
Fit only Type 9 V PP3 Alkaline (MN 1604).
SAFETY WARNING
Before removing the b attery cover,
make sure that the pr obe is remote
from any live electrical circuit.

6. WARRANTY
Your AC/DC current probe is guaranteed for two
years from the date of purchase against defective
material or workmanship. If the unit fails during
the warranty period, we shall at our discretion,
repair or replace it with a new or reconditioned
unit provided we are satisfied that the failure is
due to defective material or workmanship. To
make a claim under warranty, the probe should
be returned to us, postage prepaid, with a
description of the defect. The use of a battery or
external power supply, other than that specified
invalidates this warranty.
Goods alleged by the buyer to be defective
shall not form the subject of any claim for
injury, loss, damage, or any expense
howsoever incurred whether arising directly or
indirectly from such alleged defects other than
death or personal injury resulting from the
seller‘s negligence.
