AC Current Probe
Model MN05
User Manual
DESCRIPTION
The Model MN05 (Cat. #2129.19) is a 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 two measurement ranges
(10 and 100) A
RMS
recorders.The Model MN05 is compatible with any voltmeter, multimeter, or other current
measurement instrument with an input impedance greater than 1 MΩ. To achieve the stated
accuracy, use the probe with a voltmeter 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 600 V in overvoltage
CAT III. Use extreme caution when clamping around bare conductors or bus bar.
INTERNATIONAL ELECTRICAL SYMBOLS
This symbol signifies that the current probe is protected by double or reinforced insu-
lation. 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 symbol signifies that this is a type A current sensor and that application near
and removal from HAZARDOUS LIVE conductors is permitted.
DEFINITION OF MEASUREMENT CATEGORIES (CAT)
CAT IV: For measurements performed at the primary electrical supply (< 1000 V), such as
primary overcurrent protection devices, ripple control units, or meters.
CAT III: For measurements performed in the building installation at the distribution level,
such as hardwired equipment in fixed installation or circuit breakers.
CAT II: For measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the electrical
distribution system, such as measurements on household appliances or portable tools.
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 providing a detailed
description of any damage.
