WARNING. High Voltage, risk of electric shock.
CAUTION. Potential for damage to probe or instrument it is connected to. Attend to the accompanying
information to protect against personal injury or damage. Do not proceed until conditions are fully understood
and met.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) HAZARD. The probe is susceptible to damage if anti-static measures
are not taken.
DOUBLE INSULATION
PROTECTIVE (EARTH) TERMINAL
Safety Instructions
This section contains instructions that must be observed to keep this oscilloscope accessory operating in
a correct and safe condition. You are required to follow generally accepted safety procedures in addition
to the precautions specified in this section.
The overall safety of any system incorporating this accessory is the responsibility of the assembler of
the system.
Symbols
These symbols may appear on the probe body or in this manual to alert you to important safety
considerations.
Precautions
Connect and disconnect properly. Connect probe to the measurement instrument before
connecting the test leads to a circuit/signal being tested.
Use only within operational environment listed. Do not use in wet or explosive atmospheres.
Use indoors only.
Keep product surfaces clean and dry.
Be careful with sharp tips. The tips may cause bodily injury if not handled properly.
Do not operate with suspected failures. Do not use the probe if any part is damaged. Cease
operation immediately and sequester the probe from inadvertent use.
Be careful not to damage the insulation surface when making measurements.

CP031 Current Probe
Never install or remove the probe on bare conductors which are energized. The transformer
core and shield are grounded but not insulated and may contact the conductor when the locking
lever is open.
To avoid short circuits and accidents that could result in injury or death, use the CP031 current
probe only with conductors carrying 300 V or less.
To prevent short circuits and electric shock when conductors being measured carry less than
300 V but more than the safe voltage level (SELV-E) make sure that the conductors to be
measured are insulated with material conforming to:
o Overvoltage Category I, basic insulation requirement for working voltage of 300 V
o Pollution degree 2
Operating Environment
The accessory is intended for indoor use and should be operated in a clean, dry environment. Before
using this product, ensure that its operating environment is maintained within these parameters:
Temperature: 0° to 40° C
Humidity: ≤ 80% relative humidity (non-condensing)
Altitude: up to 2000 m (6562 feet)

Instruction Manual
Overview
Description
The CP031 uses a combination of Hall effect and transformer technology which enables measurements
to be made on DC, AC and impulse currents. It has a 100 MHz bandwidth and is designed to measure
continuous currents up to 30 Amp.
The probe can be used with a WaveSurfer, WaveRunner 6000, or WavePro 7000 series oscilloscope with
firmware 4.3.0.0 or higher. With the ProBus interface, the CP031 becomes an integral part of the
oscilloscope. The bandwidth limit, auto zero and degauss functions are all controlled from the
oscilloscope’s graphical user interface. The oscilloscope provides power to the probe, so no external
power supply is needed.
Key Features
• Highly accurate current measurements
• Easy current measurements
• Wide bandwidth
• Compact
• Over-current protected
