CP150 and CP500 Current Probes

Do not overload; observe all ratings. To avoid electric shock or fire, do not connect the

current probe to any wire that carries voltages or currents that exceed the ratings of
the probe.

Connect and disconnect properly. Connect the probe to the measurement instrument
before connecting to the circuit/conductor being measured. Avoid damaging the cable
through excessive bending.

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.

Be careful not to damage the insulation surface when making measurements. Before
clamping to the conductor being measured, check that the insulation on the conductor
is undamaged, and take care not to damage the insulation when clamping the
conductor. Any damage to the insulation could cause an electric shock.

Use only indoors and within the operational environment listed. Do not use in wet or
explosive atmospheres.

Do not remove the probe's casing. Touching exposed connections may result in electric
shock.

Keep product surfaces clean and dry.

Comply with the maximum input current vs. frequency derating when measuring

current that includes a high frequency component. Using the probe at high frequencies
or strong magnetic fields may cause the device to become abnormally hot, resulting in
fire, equipment damage or burns.

Do not operate with suspected failures. Before each use, inspect the probe and
accessories for any damage such as tears or other defects in the probe body, cable
jacket, accessories, etc. If any part is damaged, cease operation immediately and
sequester the probe from inadvertent use.

NOTE: Depending on the amplitude and frequency of the current being measured, the
sensor head may emit a resonant sound. This sound may also occur during
demagnetizing operation, but it does not represent a malfunction (device failure).

Introduction

The CP150 and CP500 current probes are designed for easy, highly accurate current
measurements. The compact probes offer wide bandwidth with over-current protection.

The probes utilize a combination of Hall-effect and transformer technology which
enables measurements to be made on DC, AC and impulse currents.

The CP150 has a 10 MHz bandwidth and is designed to measure continuous currents
up to 150 Amps. The CP150-6M has a 5 MHz bandwidth and is designed to measure
continuous currents up to 150 Amps.

NOTE: All CP150 probes, regardless of cable length, will indicate default probe
bandwidth of 10 MHz in the Attributes section of the Probe dialog.

The CP500 has a 2 MHz bandwidth and is designed to measure continuous currents up
to 500 Amp.

The probes can be used with any Teledyne LeCroy instrument with a ProBus interface,
or by using a ProBus interface adapter. With the ProBus interface, the probe becomes
an integral part of the measuring instrument. The bandwidth limit, Auto Zero and
Degauss functions are all controlled from the instrument’s touch screen user interface.
The interface provides power to the probe, so no external power supply is needed.

Precautions

The sensor head is a precision assembly consisting of a molded component with a
ferrite core and a Hall effect element. It may be damaged if subjected to sudden
changes in temperature, mechanical strain or shock.

The mating surfaces of the sensor are precision ground and should be treated with
care. If there is any type of dust or dirt on the mating surfaces of the sensor head,
measurements may be impaired.

Accurate measurements may not be possible in locations subject to strong magnetic
fields such as transformers and high-current conductors, or in locations subject to
strong external electric fields.

CAUTION: Never use this probe on bare conductors. The core and shield are

probe or the circuit under test.

Connecting to the Test Instrument

The probe has been designed for use with the Teledyne LeCroy instruments equipped
with the ProBus interface. When you attach the probe output connector to the
instrument’s input connector, the instrument will:

• Recognize the probe model

• Set the input termination to 1 MΩ

• Activate the probe control functions in the touch screen user interface.

Connecting to the Test Circuit

The probe has been designed with a movable split core, eliminating the need to break
the conductor for the core to slip around the conductor. To connect:

1. Pull back the slider so that the clamp opens.

2. Align the sensor so that the current direction indicator corresponds to the

direction of current flow in the conductor.

3. Close the probe jaws around the conductor until the jaws click shut.

4. Close the slider on the sensor head until the "UNLOCK’ indication disappears

and the "LOCK" indication appears.

5. Verify that the opening lever is firmly locked and the clamp is securely closed.

Operating with an Oscilloscope

When connected to a Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscope, the displayed scale factor and
measurement values will be adjusted to account for the effective gain of the probe.

A/div, Offset, and Coupling, and Bandwidth (BWL) are controlled from the Channel
setup (Cx) dialog.

Channel setup dialog with Probe dialog behind it.

The probe’s attributes are shown on the Probe dialog, which appears behind the
Channel dialog when a probe is detected. The Probe dialog also contains controls for
Auto Zero and Degauss.

Probe dialog.

Probe A/div and Attenuation

The front panel Volts/div knob controls the oscilloscope’s scale factor and the probe’s
internal attenuation to give full available dynamic range from 100mA/div to 200 A/div
for the CP500 and 100mA/div to 100 A/div for the CP150.

Alternatively, A/div may be controlled from the channel setup dialog (Cx).

Bandwidth Limit

The probe is capable of switching from Full (maximum bandwidth) to 20 MHz
bandwidth by changing the Bandwidth setting on the Cx dialog.

Operator’s Manual

AC Coupling

In general, using offset to adjust a DC current on the screen is the preferred method to
measure transient signals in the presence of a larger DC currents. The offset has limits
that will cause a signal that is beyond the linear operating range of the probe to go off
the screen, preventing measurement errors.

There are times, however, when it is convenient to use AC coupling to remove the DC
component of the measured signal from the measurement. Selecting AC uses the
scope AC coupling at the probe output to remove any steady state value from the
displayed voltage.

NOTE: Since this AC coupling is on the probe output, DC current beyond the linear
range of the probe will cause the probe to saturate and make the displayed waveform
inaccurate. It is important not to exceed the maximum linear input values when using
AC coupling.

Auto Zero

The Probe dialog incorporates an Auto Zero function to remove the DC offset from the
current probe. Auto Zero must be invoked by the user. After several minutes of warm­up, or when the probe is exposed to a large shift in ambient temperature, some DC
offset drift may occur. Open the Probe dialog and touch AUTO ZERO.

Degauss

If the probe has been magnetized by external magnetic field or by excessive input, the
core can be demagnetized by degaussing. The demagnetizing process takes about 5
seconds and should always be performed before taking a measurement.

Without clamping the probe around a conductor, slide the opening lever to close and
lock the probe. Open the Probe dialog and touch DEGAUSS.

An Auto Zero is automatically performed as part of the degauss cycle.

Performance Verification

This procedure can be used to verify the warranted characteristics of the probe. The
recommended calibration interval for the models CP150 and CP500 Current Probes is
one year. The complete performance verification procedure should be performed as the
first step of annual calibration. Performance verification can be completed without
removing the probe covers or exposing the user to hazardous voltages. Test results
can be recorded on a photocopy of the Test Record provided at the end of the manual.

The warranted characteristics of the probe are valid at any temperature within the
Environmental Characteristics listed in the Specifications. However, some of the other
test equipment used to verify the performance may have environmental limitations
required to meet the accuracy needed for the procedure. Make sure that the ambient
conditions meet the requirements of all the test instruments used in his procedure.

NOTE: Operation of the probe as described requires software version 4.3.0.0 or higher.
To confirm the version installed, choose Utilities > Utilities Setup from the oscilloscope
menu bar, then open the Status tab.

and exchange. A defective probe under warranty will be replaced with a factory
refurbished probe. A probe that is not under warranty can be exchanged for a factory
refurbished probe. A modest fee is charged for this service. A defective probe must be
returned in order to receive credit for the probe core.

Troubleshooting

If the probe is not operating properly the problem may be the way in which it is used.
Before assuming the probe is defective, perform the following troubleshooting
procedures:

1. Verify the test instrument is running the required firmware (4.3.0.0 or higher).

2. If the waveform is inverted, check that the arrow on the slider is in the direction

of the current flow.

3. If there is no signal, check that the slider is closed and locked.
