AC Current Probe
Model SR600
User Manual
DESCRIPTION
The SR600 (Cat. #2113.42) is designed for use in industrial environments. The ergonomic design allows it to
easily attach to cables or small bus bars. The circular jaws guarantee a very good accuracy and low phase
shift. The probe has a measurement range up to 1000 A
AC ammeter, multimeter, or other current measurement instrument with an input impedance lower than 5 .
To achieve the stated accuracy, use the SR600 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.
• Use caution on any circuit: potentially high voltages and currents may be present and may pose a
shock hazard.
• Do not use the probe if damaged. Always connect the current probe to the measuring device before it
is connected around the conductor
• Do not use on non-insulated conductor with a potential to ground greater than 600 V CAT III,
Pollution Degree 2. Use extreme caution when clamping around bare conductors or bus bars.
• Before each use, inspect the probe; look for cracks in housing or output cable insulation.
• Do not use clamp in wet environment or in locations that hazardous gases exist.
• Do not use the probe anywhere beyond the tactile barrier.
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 A current sensor. This symbol signifies that application around and removal from
HAZARDOUS LIVE conductors is permitted.
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 (<1000 V) such as on primary
overcurrent protection devices, ripple control units, or meters.
