User Manual
DESCRIPTION
The AEMC Instruments Models SR601 and SR604 (Cat. #2113.43/2113.44) are designed
®
for use in industrial environments. The ergonomic design allows them to easily attach to cables
or small bus bars. The circular jaws guarantee a very good accuracy and low phase shift. The
probes have a measurement range up to 1000 A
AC ammeter, multimeter, or other current measurement instrument with an input impedance
lower than 5 Ω. To achieve the stated accuracy, use the SR601/SR604 with an ammeter
having an accuracy of 0.75 % or better.
WARNING:
The safety warnings are provided to ensure the safety of personnel and proper operation
of the instrument. Read the instruction completely.
ƒ Use caution on any circuit: potentially high voltages and currents may be present and may pose a
shock hazard.
ƒ Do not use the probe if damaged. Always connect the current probe to the measuring device before
it is connected around the conductor
ƒ Do not use on non-insulated conductor with a potential to ground greater than 600 V CAT III
pollution 2. Use extreme caution when clamping around bare conductors or bus bars.
ƒ Before each use, inspect the probe; look for cracks in housing or output cable insulation.
ƒ Do not use clamp in wet environment or in locations that hazardous gases exist.
ƒ Do not use the probe anywhere beyond the tactile barrier.
INTERNATIONAL ELECTRICAL SYMBOLS
Signifies that the instrument is protected by double or reinforced insulation.
CAUTION - Risk of Danger! Indicates a WARNING. Whenever this symbol is present,
the operator must refer to the user manual before operation.
Application or withdrawal authorized on conductors carrying dangerous voltages. Type
A current sensor as per IEC 61010-2-032.
DEFINITION OF MEASUREMENT CATEGORIES (CAT)
CAT IV:
Corresponds to measurements performed at the primary electrical supply (< 1000 V).
Example: primary overcurrent protection devices, ripple control units, and meters.
CAT III: Corresponds to measurements performed in the building installation at the
distribution level.
Example: hardwired equipment in fixed installation and circuit breakers.
CAT II:
Corresponds to measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the
electrical distribution system.
Example: measurements on household appliances and 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,
