A622 Instructions 1

Getting Started

The A622 current probe (Figure 1) enables a general purpose

oscilloscope to display AC and DC current signals up to 100 amps

Peak (70 A RMS). The A622 current probe can also make AC and

DC measurements with a multimeter by using the BNC-to-banana

plug adapter that is available as a recommended accessory. See

page 17 for ordering information.

Table 1 highlights the controls and indicators on the A622 current

probe.

Table 1: A622 controls and indicators

Control/Indicator Description

Current flow symbol. The arrow show the probe’s polarity

convention for measuring current flowing from positive to

negative.

ZERO Zero adjustment. Rotate to adjust the probe output to zero when

there is no current present. It may also be used to offset a DC

signal component. Zeroing is not needed for AC measurements

unless your instrument cannot isolate a DC component (if

present).

OFF/Range switch. Slide the switch from OFF to either the

10 mV/A or 100 mV/A range. When either range is selected, the

probe is turned on, and the green battery indicator lights. If the

indicator does not light, see Battery Notes and Battery Installation

on page 7.

Battery indicator. The green battery indicator lights when the

probe is turned on. For more information, see Battery Notes and

Battery Installation on page 7.

Overload indicator. The red overload indicator lights if the

measured signal is greater that the selected range capacity.

Switch the probe to 10 mV/A if possible, or remove the probe from

the circuit.

A622 Instructions 3

Operating Basics

Before using the probe, the batteries must be installed. See the

battery installation instructions on page 7.

WARNING. Do not clamp the probe onto circuits with voltages greater

than 600 VAC. Personal injury or damage to the probe may result.

Always connect the probe to the instrument before clamping onto the

circuit under test.

1. Connect the probe BNC connector to the oscilloscope input. Start

by setting the oscilloscope channel vertical coupling to DC volts,

the vertical deflection to 0.1 V/div.

2. Move the OFF/Range switchtothe10 mV/A or 100 mV/A

position to power on the probe.

The A622 current probe has a green LED power/battery indicator.

If the LED does not light, replace the battery.

3. Use the ZERO adjustment to zero or offset the probe output.

4. Connect the probe to the circuit by opening the jaws and

clamping around the conductor. See Figure 2.

NOTE. Clamping around both the “hot” and neutral wires may give

you a zero reading.

(Remember to unclamp the probe from the conductor before

disconnecting it from your meter or instrument.)

5. Adjust the probe and channel as necessary to get a clear view of

the signal. Set the channel to DC volts to see both the AC and DC

currents; set the channel to AC to see the AC current only.

The current drawn by some devices looks much different than that of

others. While the RMS current may be low, the momentary peaks

may be quite high. Figure 3 shows the difference between the line

current drawn by a resistive load and a motor controller.
