AC Current Probe
Model MN185
User Manual
DESCRIPTION
The MN185 (Catalog #100.185) is a high accuracy current probe for tight areas such as crowded wiring.
Extends DMM AC measurements to 120A AC.
WARNING
These safety warnings are provided to ensure the safety of personnel and proper operation of the
instrument.
• Read the instruction manual completely and follow all the safety information before attempting to
use or service this instrument.
• Use caution on any circuit: Potentially high voltages and currents may be present and may pose a
shock hazard.
• Read the safety specifications section prior to using the current probe. Never exceed the maximum
voltage ratings given.
• Safety is the responsibility of the operator.
• ALWAYS connect the current probe to the display device before clamping the probe onto the
sample being tested.
• ALWAYS inspect the instrument, probe, probe cable, and output terminals prior to use. Replace any
defective parts immediately.
• NEVER use the current probe on electrical conductors rated above 250V. Use extreme caution
when clamping around bare conductors or bus bars.
INTERNATIONAL ELECTRICAL SYMBOLS
This symbol signifies that the current probe is protected by double or reinforced insulation. Use only
factory specified replacement parts when servicing the instrument.
This symbol signifies CAUTION! and requests that the user refer to the user manual before using
the instrument.
This is a type A current sensor. This symbol signifies that application around and removal from
HAZARDOUS LIVE conductors is permitted.
RECEIVING YOUR SHIPMENT
Upon receiving your shipment, make sure that the contents are consistent with the packing list. Notify your
distributor of any missing items. If the equipment appears to be damaged, file a claim immediately with the
carrier and notify your distributor at once, giving a detailed description of any damage.
INSTRUMENT COMPATIBILITY
The Model MN185 is compatible with any ammeter, multimeter, or other current measuring instruments with
an input impedance of less than 5Ω. To achieve the stated accuracy, use the MN185 with an ammeter
having an accuracy of 0.75% or better.
