    • Always zero theModel K100/K110 prior tomaking ameasure-ment.See§4.1forprocedure.

    • Makesure thatprobe jawmatingsurfacesare freeofdustandcontamination. Contaminants cause air gaps between sensorhalves, making the Model K100/K110 susceptible to externalmagneticfieldswhichcancontributetomeasurementerrors.See§5.3forcleaningprocedure.

    • Donotallowprobe jaws toabruptlysnapclosed fromtheopenstate. This can lead to residual readings. If this happens, theModelK100/K110willneedtoberezeroed.

    • Bewareofshort-circuitcurrents.Largein-rushcurrents(whichcanoccurwhenpowerisfirstappliedinacircuit)andlargehigh-cur-renttransientsmaycausevaryingdegreesofresidualreadings.Ifindoubtofaparticularreading,removetheprobefromthecon-ductorundertestandchecktoseethatthedisplaydevicereturnszero.Ifnot,itwillbenecessarytorezerotheModelK100/K110.

    • WhenusingtheModelK100/K110tomeasureACcurrents,keepinmindthemaximumcurrentratingsandthefrequencyresponsecurves shown in the electrical specifications section. Dynamiccurrents thatcontain largestepdiscontinuitiesand/or frequencyconstituents near or beyond the measurement passband aresubject tomeasurementserrorsandwaveformdistortion (oscil-loscopedisplay).IftheredLEDcomesonduringmeasurement,theMicroProbe’soutputsignalmaybeinerror.
