Product Introduction
The CP2100 series is a current probe that can measure both DC and AC. It adopts split design and has small and beautiful appearance. It uses a standard BNC interface and is suitable for oscilloscopes. It can also be used for multimeters via connector. The maximum current can be measured to 100Apk (70Arms); it has 2 models: CP2100A and CP2100B, CP2100A can measure bandwidth to DC 800KHz, CP2100B can measure bandwidth to DC 2MHz; 2 optional measuring ranges: 10A and 100A. Automatic and manual zero adjustment, powered by USB, no additional power supply, making measurement more convenient. Often used in motor drives, industrial frequency, inverters, power supplies, avionics and other fields.

Instructions
-
Connect the BNC of the current probe to the oscilloscope (or other instruments), and connect the USB cable to power the current probe;
-
Select the appropriate range on the probe according to current range, the corresponding button light will turn Green;
-
Adjust the oscilloscope settings: input impedance 1MΩ; select probe to Current or display as A； Set attenuation factor for corresponding channelrange 100A（0.01V/A） set to 100X， range 10A （0.1V/A）set to 10X；
-
Press Automatic zero adjustment button to realize zero adjustment of the probe after success， the buzzer “beep” one time if “beep” three time indicating that the zero adjustment has failed； Manual zero adjustment is also possible the external magnetic field may have a slight influence on the DC zero position of the probed not move it in a large range after the zero adjustment is completed;
-
Open the jaws to clamp the conductor under test according to the direction indicated by the clamp head.
Note: If the measured current flows in the opposite direction to the clamp head, the output will be negative; -
Adjust the oscilloscope to get the best waveform;
Note: When the current exceeds the range, the buzzer will beep for a long time and the button light will flash.
5. Maintenance
During the warranty period of the product (one-year) and under normal use, the
company will be responsible for free repairs due to fault caused by the
quality of the product itself, and the product must not been disassembled and
repaired without Micsig permission.
Please keep the product dry, clean and tidy. If there is dirt, use a soft
cloth or sponge with alcohol to wipe off the dirt. Do not use water.
In order to ensure the performance of the product, it is recommended to check
or calibrate once a year.
