Page 5: Introduction
• Never open the back of the instrument while connected to any circuit or input. • ALWAYS connect the Model MR410 or MR520 to the display device before clamping the probe onto the sample under test. • Always inspect the instrument and lead prior to use. Replace any defective parts immediately. • NEVER use the Model MR410 or MR520 on electrical conductors rated above 600V. 1.1 International Electrical Symbols This symbol signifies that the instrument is protected by double or rein- forced insulation. Use only specified replacement parts when servicing the instrument. This symbol on the instrument indicates a WARNING and that the operator must refer to the user manual for instructions before operat- ing the instrument. In this manual, the symbol preceding instructions... -

“pry” into or “hook” onto cables (will accept 2 x 500 MCM) or small bus bars. The MR series uses Hall effect technology. The electronics and batter- ies are self-contained in the handles. The output of the AC/DC probes is 1mV/A. When taking DC measurements, a mechanical DC zero allows the user to adjust for any DC offset. There is no output filtering - True RMS with DC components is possible. The phase shift is excellent, making the MR series well suited for power and power quality applications. Model MR410 measures 400A (600A peak), 600A Model MR520 measures 1000A (1500A peak), 1500A Both the MR410 and MR520 have proportional mV output for direct read- ings on multimeters, recorders, loggers and other instruments accepting banana plugs. An optional banana plug to BNC adaptor is available as an accessory. AC/DC Current Probe Models MR410 and MR520 GlobalTestSupply www. -

Page 10: Dmm / Display Compatibility
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com DMM / Display Compatibility The Models MR410 and MR520 current probes are compatible with any multimeter voltmeter or other voltage measuring instrument which has the following features: • Input jack that accepts 4mm safety banana plug • Range and resolution capable of displaying 1mV of output per amp of measured current • Voltmeter accuracy of 0.3% or better to take full advantage of the probe accuracy • Input impedance of 1MΩ/100 pF or greater When the probe is making a measurement, the current-carrying conductor is not broken and remains electrically isolated from the probe output. As a result, the probe output common may be either floated (isolated) or grounded. Warning: User Safety Always use a DMM, voltmeter or other displaying device, appropriately rated for safety. -

A positive reading indicates current flowing in the direction of the arrow located on the side of the jaw. A negative reading indicates current flow in the opposite direction of the arrow. • Apply the conversion ratio (1mV/A) to get the value of the current.

• Apply the conversion ratio (1mV/A) to get the value of the current. 4.1.3 Indicator Lights: Green LED • The Green LED indicates that the probe is on and that the battery is good. • It will not light under low battery conditions. • Replace the 9V battery if it is not lit. Tips For Getting the Best Accuracy The Models MR410 and MR520 are capable of measuring DC and fre- quency currents over a wide range. Here are some key considerations for getting the most accuracy from your display instrument: • When using the Models MR410 and MR520 with a DMM or other meter, it is important to select the range that provides the best resolution. • Make sure that probe jaw mating surfaces are free of dust and contamination. -
