2. PRODUCT FEATURES
2.1 DESCRIPTION
The AC/DC Current Probe Model SL361 can be used to measure current from 100 mA to 100 Apeak without breaking the circuit in which it is flowing. It measures the waveform and amplitude of the current, in the form of a voltage. The bandwidth is from (DC to 100) kHz. The shape of the clamp enables it to access hard-to-reach places. It can be powered by a battery or 5 V via the mico-USB connector.
The instrument features: a reset push button, a range overload indicator, a power supply indicator, automatic standby to prolong battery life.
2.2 COMPATIBILITY
The Model SL361 is compatible with any analog or digital oscilloscope or other voltage-measuring instrument which has the following features: BNC input connector Range capable of displaying (0.2 to 0.5) V per division Minimum input impedance of >1 M Jaw opening can accommodate up to a single 4/0 AWG (11.684 mm diameter)

3. OPERATION
3.1 TURNING INSTRUMENT ON
Switch the instrument ON by pushing the slide switch to the 10 mV/A or the 100 mV/A setting.
The 10 mV/A setting corresponds to the 100 A range.
The 100 mV/A setting corresponds to the 10 A range.
The ON indicator lights green. If it blinks, there is less than 4 hours of use. If it fails to light, you must replace the battery (see § 5.2), or plug into the USB power (optional) see § 3.6.
It takes 10 seconds to set up the instrument for use.
3.2 ZERO ADJUSTMENT
Switch the probe on. Connect the probe to the measuring instrument. The phase is on the core of
the BNC connector.
Make sure that the probe is not on a conductor and that its jaws are correctly closed.
Place the probe in the position it will be in during the measurement. Press the zero adjustment button. The OL indicator lights for approximately three seconds to indicate that the
zero adjustment is in progress in the two ranges.
If the zero has been correctly adjusted, the OL indicator goes off. If it remains on, the zero could not be adjusted.
In this case, check that the probe is not on any conductor and that its jaws are correctly closed, then press the zero adjustment button again.
Or switch the probe off and back on, and it is the last adjustment stored that will be used.

3.3 MEASUREMENT
NOTE: The zero must be adjusted before each measurement.
WARNING: Always connect the probe to the instrument before clamping onto the circuit under test.
Once the zero has been adjusted, press the mobile arm of the probe handle to open the jaws.
Clamp the cable carrying the current to be measured. The arrow on the probe must point in the presumed direction of current flow.

Release the mobile arm gently and make sure that the jaws are correctly closed.
The value measured is displayed on the measuring instrument. If the OL indicator lights, it means that the current is too strong to be measured. If you are in the 100 mV/A range, switch to the 10 mV/A range.
12
AC/DC Current Probe Model SL361 – User Manual
Apply the conversion factor corresponding to the setting of the switch.
NOTE: Remember to unclamp the probe from the conductor before disconnecting it from your meter or instrument.
3.4 AUTO OFF
At the end of 10 minutes of operation with no sign of the user’s presence (a press on the zero adjustment button or an action on the switch), the probe switches to standby and the ON indicator goes off.
To wake up the probe, press the zero adjustment button or set the switch to a position other than OFF.
To disable auto off (operation in permanent mode P ), press the zero adjustment button when starting up the instrument. The ON indicator blinks to indicate that the request has been taken into account, then lights steady orange when you release the zero adjustment button.
When the probe is switched off (switch set to OFF), the auto off function is re-activated.

Lighted green: Instrument On
Blinking green: The battery will have to be replaced in less than 4 h. Lighted orange: Permanent operation
P (auto off deactivated)
OL Indicator
Off: The measurement is correct.
Lighted red: The measurement exceeds the range.
Lighted red for 3 seconds: 3 s The zero adjustment is in
progress.
3.6 POWER ADAPTER (OPTIONAL)
For long-term measurements, you can connect the clamp to an external power source using the optional line power adapter. You can use any micro-USB adapter that supplies 5 VDC with a minimum 50 mA output or more.
When the instrument is powered via the micro-USB connector, automatic standby is disabled.
The insulation between the type B micro-USB connector and the measurement output is 600 V CAT III. This makes it possible to connect the clamp, without risk, to measuring instruments having inputs that are not insulated.
WARNING: The type B mico-USB connector must not be in contact with conductors or uninsulated parts at dangerous voltage.

5. MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Except for the battery, the instrument contains no parts that can be replaced by personnel who have not been specially trained and accredited. Any unauthorized repair or replacement of a part by an equivalent may gravely impair safety.
To ensure optimum performance, it is important to keep the probe jaw mating surfaces clean at all times. Failure to do so may result in error in readings.
For maintenance use only specified factory replacement parts. To avoid electrical shock, do not attempt to perform any servicing unless you
are qualified to do so. To avoid electrical shock and/or damage to the instrument, do not allow water
or other foreign substances into the case.
Disconnect the unit from all circuits and test cables before opening the case.
5.1 CLEANING
Disconnect the instrument completely and turn the rotary switch to OFF. Also make sure that no cable is clamped.
Use a damp soft cloth and dry rapidly with a dry cloth or forced air. Do not use alcohol, solvents or hydrocarbons. The air gaps of the clamp must always be kept clean. Do no leave the probe in very damp places, or exposed to splashes of any
liquid substances.

AC/DC Current Probe Model SL361 – User Manual
5.2 REPLACING THE BATTERY
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Disconnect all input(s) from the unit or remove the probe from any conductor before opening the battery cover to change the battery.
If the green battery indication LED does not light up when the probe is turned on, the battery will need to be replaced. Do not replace the battery while probe is in use. Disconnect the current probe from the circuit. Turn the current probe OFF. To replace the battery: 1. Use a screwdriver to remove the screw securing the battery compartment. 2. Slide the battery compartment cover away and off from the current probe. 3. Connect the battery to the snap-on connector; take care with the polarity.
NOTE: You can use a rechargeable Ni-MH battery, but the life will be shorter. The instrument does not recharge rechargeable batteries.
4. Place the battery in its compartment. 5. Slide the battery compartment cover back in place; make sure that it is
completely and correctly closed. 6. Screw the battery compartment cover screw back in place.
