[Head of probe] AC VOLTAGE PROBE SP9001

[Main body measuring circuit] NON-CONTACT AC VOLTAGE PROBE SP3000

The SP3000 is a non-contact AC voltage waveform probe ideal for maintenance applications involving device control signals and sensor signals. Simply apply the probe to a cable outside its insulation cover to capture the signal without exposing the technician to electrocution.

Observe waveforms with an oscilloscope or a Hioki Memory HiCorder by visualizing signals from electric equipment simply by applying the probe to the wire’s insulation
Capture LIN and other communications signals
Measure signals from electric equipment on vehicles

Miniaturization of devices and use of waterproof connectors make it impossible to establish contact with metal terminals
Connectors can’t be removed due to reduced ability to reproduce phenomena
There is need to avoid tearing the wire insulation so as to prevent risk of damage to the sensor due to static electricity

SP3000-01	Discontinued, SP3000, SP9001 bundled model

Connect to a Memory HiCorder’s analog input terminal or oscilloscope. Both the SP3000 amplifier box and SP9001 probe head are necessary to measure. Select Model SP3000-01 for the entire system.

“First, this award recognizes Hioki’s proprietary no-metal-contact measurement technology, which allows measurement of voltage waveforms from outside a wire’s insulation, without any need to make contact with a metal terminal. Further, it recognizes the product’s technology and design, for example in terms of the implementation of that technology in an instrument that can be applied to wires single-handedly in confined locations and designers’ success in creating a small, hands-free probe that need not be supported by the end-user.”
