Do not attempt to repair this sealed device.
Do not use this device for any purpose
other than indicated in these instructions.
Doing so may expose you to bodily injury
or cause equipment damage.
Do not install substitute parts or
perform any unauthorized modification to
the product. Return the product to an Key-
sight Technologies Sales and Service
Office for service and repair to ensure that
safety features are maintained.
WARNING
A WARNING notice denotes a hazard.
It calls attention to an operating proce-
dure, practice, or the like that, if not
correctly performed or adhered to,
could result in personal injury or death. Do
not proceed beyond a WARNING notice
until the indicated conditions are fully
understood and met.
C A U T I O N
A CAUTION notice denotes a hazard.

Instructions for Use

The Keysight 34330A Current Shunt is
a precision 0.001W resistor housed in a
plastic case surrounded by epoxy.
Output is 1 mV per A of current
passing through the shunt.
W A R N I N G
Install the shunt in the multimeter voltage
input terminals before use. Do not remove
the shunt with a current source still con-
nected, as there may be danger of shorting
the banana plugs to ground. Observe the
current and voltage limits listed under

"Specifications."

The following simplified diagram shows
how the shunt is used:
Insert the shunt's banana-plug outputs
into the main voltage inputs on the multi-
meter (not the high ampere inputs). Then
connect the current source to be mea-
sured to the shunt's input terminals
(binding posts). The multimeter will read
the IR drop caused by the input current
through the shunt.
The precision resistance of the shunt is
0.001W, so the voltage measured by the
multimeter is equal to the current
multiplied by 0.001W. Thus, the voltage
reading sensitivity is 1 mV/A. For a
15 A current, the voltage reading is
15 mV. Select an appropriate voltage
range on the multimeter. See your
multimeter User's Guide for further
information.

Cleaning Instructions

Wipe with a soft cloth, moistened slightly
with water, if needed.
