CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
WARNING
•Read the instruction manual completely and follow all the safety
information before attempting to use or service this instrument.
• Wear protective clothing and gloves as required.
• Use caution on any circuit: potentially high voltages and currents
may be present and may pose a shock hazard.
• Read the safety specications section prior to using the current
probe. Never exceed the maximum voltage ratings given.
• Safety is the responsibility of the operator. The FlexProbe®must be
used only by qualied personnel using applicable safety precautions.
• ALWAYS de-energize the circuit before wrapping the FlexProbe®
around bare conductors, bus bars, or near live parts. Do not wrap on
live conductors.
• ALWAYS connect the electronic module to the display device before
wrapping the FlexProbe®around the sample being tested.
• ALWAYS inspect the module, sensor, sensor cable, and output termi-
nals prior to use. Replace any defective parts immediately. Use only
factory parts.
• NEVER use the FlexProbe®on electrical conductors rated above
1000V CAT III and 600V CAT IV.
1.1 International Electrical Symbols
This symbol signifies that the instrument is protected by double or reinforced
insulation.
This symbol on the instrument indicates a WARNING and that the operator must
refer to the user manual for instructions before operating the instrument. In this
manual, the warning instructions above indicate that if the instructions are not
followed, bodily injury, installation/sample and product damage may result.
Risk of electric shock. The voltage at the parts marked with this symbol may be
dangerous.
This symbol refers to a type B current sensor. Do not apply around or remove from
HAZARDOUS LIVE conductors without additional protective means (de-energizing
the circuit or wearing protective clothing suitable for high voltage work).
In conformity with WEEE 2002/96/EC

FlexProbe®- Flexible AC Current Probe
1.2 Definition of Measurement Categories
CAT II: For measurements performed on circuits directly connected to
the electrical distribution system. Examples are measurements
on household appliances or portable tools.
CAT III: For measurements performed in the building installation at
the distribution level such as on hardwired equipment in xed
installation and circuit breakers.
CAT IV: For measurements performed at the primary electrical supply
(<1000V) such as on primary overcurrent protection devices,
ripple control units, or meters.
1.3 Receiving Your Shipment
Upon receiving your shipment, make sure that the contents are consistent
with the packing list. Notify your distributor of any missing items. If the
equipment appears to be damaged, le a claim immediately with the
carrier and notify your distributor at once, giving a detailed description of
any damage. Save the damaged packing container to substantiate your
claim.

PRODUCT FEATURES
2.1 Description
The FlexProbe® is a exible AC current transformer composed of a exible
sensor and an electronic module. The exible sensor permits measure-
ments on conductors where standard clamp-on probes could not be
used. In particular, it can be installed in tight spaces, around breaker
panels, around cable bundles, around wide or large bus bars, or even
wrapped around irregular shapes.
The Shape Memory feature enables the user to “pre-shape” the sensor
before inserting it between or around conductors. This feature facilitates
closing, enhances user safety, and alleviates the drooping eect typically
associated with exible sensors.
The FlexProbe®is lightweight. It does not use magnetic cores like standard
transformers. The transformation principle is based on an air core. It
presents virtually no load to the system under test, has a low phase shift
and excellent frequency response, and cannot be damaged by overloads.
The sensor assembly is waterproof and insulated for 1000V CAT III;
600V CAT IV. The FlexProbe®meets EN 61010-1 and is CE marked.
The FlexProbe®has a mV output proportional to the current measured
for direct readings on DMMs, data loggers, oscilloscopes, and power or
harmonic meters. TRMS measurements are taken when connected to a
TRMS meter. The FlexProbe®is insensitive to DC currents and only the AC
component of the measured signal is measured. The sensor length is 24".
