Model MN122
User Manual
DESCRIPTION
The MN122 (Catalog #2129.11) is a current probe for tight areas such as crowded wiring. Extends
DMM AC measurements to 150A
plug.
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 300V in overvoltage
category III (CAT III). Use only on insulated conductors.
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 B current sensor. Do not apply around or remove from HAZARDOUS LIVE
conductors without additional protective means (de-energizing the circuit or wearing protective
clothing suitable for high voltage work).
In conformity with WEEE 2002/96/EC
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.
PACKAGING
The AC Current Probe MN122 is shipped with this instruction manual and a product warranty and
registration card.
INSTRUMENT COMPATIBILITY
The Model MN122 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 MN122 with a meter
having an accuracy of 0.75% or better. The accuracy of the meter must be added to the probe
accuracy.
. The Model MN122 offers a 5 ft lead with safety 4mm banana
