Overview
The OC5000 Series combines flexible current measurement, compact construction, and convenient operation for general electrical testing and troubleshooting. The series includes the OC5010A, OC5110, OC5310, and OC5510 models, providing bandwidths of 500 kHz, 1 MHz, 3 MHz, and 5 MHz respectively. The probe supports two measurement sensitivity levels: 0.1 V/A for lower-current measurements and 0.01 V/A for higher-current measurements. Depending on the selected range, current measurement extends from as low as 50 mA peak to as high as 100 A peak. A one-click zeroing function reduces setup time, while the low-battery indicator, overload indication, audible alert, and protective functions help provide reliable operation.
