Performance Verification
To ensure that the probe complies with the factory specifications,
perform the six tests in this section in the order listed. Connect the
required equipment listed in
Table 5
as shown in
Figure 6 on page
16
.
NOTE
Allow 30 minutes for warm up before starting the tests. While the test system is
warming up, clean the magnetic contacts on the probe’s jaw.
Construct a 10- turn coil with a diameter of about 4 inches (10 cm)
as shown in
Figure 5
. Use wire wrap or transformer wire and
attach stackable banana plugs to the coil for connection to the
instruments during testing.
