User Manual
DESCRIPTION
The MN01 (Cat. #2129.17) is small, compact AC current probe. Designed to meet the most stringent
demands in industry and electrical contracting, they also meet the latest safety and performance
standards. The probe has a measurement range up to 150Arms which makes it a perfect tool for
measurement with DMMs, recorders. The Model MN01 is compatible with any AC ammeter, multimeter,
or other current measurement instrument with an input impedance lower than 10 . To achieve the
stated accuracy, use the probe with an ammeter having an accuracy of 0.75% or better.
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 600V in overvoltage
category III (CAT III). Use extreme caution when clamping around bare conductors or bus bars.

DEFINITION OF MEASUREMENT CATEGORIES
CAT II: For measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the electrical distribution system.
Examples are measurements on household appliances or portable tools.
CAT III: For measurements performed in the building installation at the distribution level such as on
hardwired equipment in fixed installation and circuit breakers.
CAT IV: For measurements performed at the primary electrical supply (<1000V) such as on primary
overcurrent protection devices, ripple control units, or meters.
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.
