Page 7: Description
1 DESCRIPTION The Models MR415 and MR416 are clamp-on current probes that measure DC currents up to 600A, AC currents up to 400A (600A peak), and combined AC+DC currents without opening the circuit in which the currents flow. They indicate the shape and amplitude of the current measured in the form of a voltage. -

1.1 Interface Figure 1 (MR415 shown) Item Function Fixed (non-mobile) jaw Banana plugs (4mm) Arrow indicating current flow direction DC Zero button OL (overload) and ON indicators. ON is green when Auto Standby is enabled, yellow when it disabled. Slide switch (2-position for MR415, 3-position for MR416) USB port Trigger Hand guard... -
Page 9: Operation
2 OPERATION 2.1 Battery Installation Before changing batteries: set the switch to OFF and remove the clamp from the circuit under measurement. Using a screwdriver, remove the battery compartment cover (1) from the back of the housing (see Figure 2). Connect the battery to the snap-on connector (2), observing polarity. -
Page 10: Turning On The Instrument
2.3 Turning ON the Instrument Turn on the clamp by pushing the slide switch to the 1mV/A or 10mV/A setting: 1mV/A corresponds to the 600A range (MR415 and MR416) 10mV/A corresponds to the 60A range (MR416) The green ON indicator should light up: If indicator blinks, less than 4 hours of battery life remains ... -

2.6 Measurements 2.6.1 Making a Measurement After adjusting DC Zero: Press the clamp trigger to open the jaws. Clamp the jaws around the conductor to be measured. Use the centering marks on the jaws to position the clamp around the conductor. If the measurement is to be used in a power calculation, ensure the arrow on the clamp jaws (see Figure 1) points in the direction of the current flow: source... -
