PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
CAUTION: RF fields can be hazardous. Observe appropriate RF
exposure limits.
When measuring conductors that are not insulated, use extreme
care when installing the current probe and taking measurements. If
possible, de-energize the test sample during assembly and
disassembly of the setup. Also, arrange to center the test
conductor in the current probe window for additional voltage
breakdown protection.
Do not permit the un-insulated current probe connector and cable
connectors to come in contact with the ground plane or other
nearby conductors. This will prevent possible measurement error
due to ground loops, and will avoid danger from high voltages.
Ensure that the 50 Ohm load is capable of safely dissipating the
incurred power. Should the load become disconnected, the
developed voltage will be come much greater and may be very
dangerous.
