AC Current ProbeModel MN05User ManualDESCRIPTIONThe Model MN05 (Cat. #2129.19) is a small, compact AC current probe. Designed to meetthe most stringent demands in industry and electrical contracting, they also meet the latestsafety and performance standards. The probe has two measurement ranges(10 and 100) ARMS which makes it a perfect tool for measurement with DMMs,recorders.The Model MN05 is compatible with any voltmeter, multimeter, or other currentmeasurement instrument with an input impedance greater than 1 MΩ. To achieve the statedaccuracy, use the probe with a voltmeter having an accuracy of 0.75 % or better.WARNINGThese safety warnings are provided to ensure the safety of personnel and proper operation ofthe instrument.■ Read the instruction manual completely and follow all the safety information beforeattempting to use or service this instrument.■ Use caution on any circuit: Potentially high voltages and currents may be present andmay pose a shock hazard.■ Read the Safety Specifications section prior to using the current probe. Never exceedthe maximum voltage ratings given.■ Safety is the responsibility of the operator.■ ALWAYS connect the current probe to the display device before clamping the probeonto 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 overvoltageCAT III. Use extreme caution when clamping around bare conductors or bus bar.INTERNATIONAL ELECTRICAL SYMBOLSThis 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 usermanual before using the instrument.This symbol signifies that this is a type A current sensor and that application nearand 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 asprimary 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 electricaldistribution system, such as measurements on household appliances or portable tools.RECEIVING YOUR SHIPMENTUpon receiving your shipment, make sure that the contents are consistent with the packinglist. Notify your distributor of any missing items.
