OPERATION
Please make sure that you have already read and fully understand the WARNING section on page 1.
Making Measurements with the AC Current Probe Model SR634
•
Connect the current probe to an AC current range on your DMM or other current measuring instrument.
The AC Current Probe SR634 is a multi-ratio unit. The outputs are as follows:
Current Flow
in Conductor
100A
250A
Select the 10 A range on your DMM or instrument. Use the switch on the inside handle to select the 1000:5
range. Clamp the probe around the conductor and work down until the appropriate range and resolution in
reached. Take the reading on the meter and multiply it by the ratio selected to obtain the measured current
(e.g, 500mA reading - 500 x 200 = 100,000mA or 100A with the 1000:5 ratio).
•
For best accuracy, avoid if possible, the proximity of other conductors which may create noise.
Tips for Making Precise Measurements
•
When using a current probe with a meter, it is important to select the range that provides the best
resolution. Failure to do this may result in measurement errors.
•
Make sure that probe jaw mating surfaces are free of dust and contamination. Contaminants cause air
gaps between the jaws, increasing the phase shift between primary and secondary. It is very critical for
power measurement.
MAINTENANCE
Warning:
•
For maintenance use only original replacement parts.
•
To avoid electrical shock, do not attempt to perform any servicing unless you are qualified to do so.
•
To avoid electrical shock and/or damage to the instrument, do not get water or other foreign agents into
the probe
Cleaning:
To ensure optimum performance, it is important to keep the probe jaw mating surfaces clean at all times.
Failure to do so may result in error in readings. To clean the probe jaws, use very fine sand paper (fine 600)
to avoid scratching the jaw, then gently clean with a soft oiled cloth.
REPAIR AND CALIBRATION
You must contact our Service Center for a Customer Service Authorization number (CSA#). This will ensure
that when your instrument arrives, it will be tracked and processed promptly. Please write the CSA# on the
outside of the shipping container.
