Talk:AM503

Are the AM503, AM503A, AM503B, AM5030 and 11A16 all electrically compatible with the same set of probes? Kurt (talk) 07:18, 5 January 2024 (PST)

Good question ... what I can tell so far:

The 11A16 manual lists only the A6302/P6302 and A6303/P6302 probes, as does the original AM503's. The A6312 came out later, its manual refers to all AM5x models (but not the 11A16).

The A6304XL works only with the AM503B and AM5030, according to Media:070-8939-03.pdf.

Media:070-3905-05.pdf says, The A6302XL can only be used with the AM503B and AM5030, and will not be recognized by other current probe amplifiers.

Media:070-3906-06.pdf says, The A6303XL can only be used with the AM503B and AM5030, and will not be recognized by other current probe amplifiers.

From the various manuals, I compiled the matrix below. --Peter (talk) 04:30, 8 January 2024 (PST)
