3. OPERATION Please make sure that you have already read and fully understand the WARNING section on page 1 Making Measurements with the AC Current Probe Model MN352 MN353 e Connect the black lead of the current probe to common and the red lead to the AC voltage input on your DMM or other voltage measuring instrument The AC current probe has an output of 10mV A This means that for 200AAC in a conductor around which the probe is clamped 2VAC will come out of the probe leads to your DMM or instrument Select the range which corresponds to the measured current If the current magnitude is unknown start with the highest range and work down until the appropriate range and resolution are reached Clamp the probe around the conductor Take the reading on the meter and multiply it by 100 to obtain the measured current e g 160mV reading 160 x 100 16 000mA or 16A e For best accuracy avoid if possible the proximity of other conductors which may create noise Tips for Making Precise Measurements e When using a current probe with a meter it is important to select the range that provides the best resolution Failure to do this may result in measurement errors e Make sure that probe jaw mating surfaces are free of dust and contamination Contaminants cause air gaps between the jaws increasing the phase shift between primary and secondary It is very critical for power measurement MAINTENANCE Warning e For maintenance use only original f
4. actory replacement parts e To avoid electrical shock do not attempt to perform any servicing unless you are qualified to do so e To avoid electrical shock and or damage to the instrument do not get water or other foreign agents into the probe Cleaning To ensure optimum performance it is important to keep the probe jaw mating surfaces clean at all times Failure to do so may result in error in readings To clean the probe jaws use very fine sand paper fine 600 to avoid scratching the jaw then gently clean with a soft oiled cloth REPAIR AND CALIBRATION You must contact our Service Center for a Customer Service Authorization number CSA This will ensure that when your instrument arrives it will be tracked and processed promptly Please write the CSA on the outside of the shipping container If the instrument is returned for calibration we need to know if you want a standard calibration or a calibration traceable to N I S T includes calibration certificate plus recorded calibration data Chauvin Arnoux Inc d b a AEMC Instruments 15 Faraday Drive e Dover NH 03820 USA Tel 800 945 2362 Ext 360 603 749 6434 Ext 360 Fax 603 742 2346 or 603 749 6309 repair aemc com Or contact your authorized distributor Costs for repair standard calibration and calibration traceable to N I S T are available NOTE All customers must obtain a CSA before returning any instrument TECHNICAL AND SALES ASSISTANCE If
