What precautions should be taken before using an AEMC INSTRUMENTS MN193-BK current probe?
The protection assured by the current probe can be compromised if it is used in a way that is not recommended by the manufacturer.
■ Comply with the rated maximum voltage and current, and the measurement category. Do not use the current probe on networks where the voltage or category exceeds those specified.
■ Comply with the conditions of use (e.g. temperature, humidity, altitude, degree of pollution, location).
■ Do not use the current probe if its housing is open, deteriorated, or incorrectly reassembled. Before each use, check the integrity of the insulation of the unit, jaws, clamps, housing, and leads.
■ Do not subject the current probe to water or other liquids.
■ Keep the jaw contacts of the clamp absolutely clean.
■ Use suitable personal protective equipment when hazardous voltages may be accessible in the installation where the measurement is made.
■ Any repairs must be carried out by accredited skilled personnel.

How do I operate the AEMC INSTRUMENTS MN193-BK current probe?
The current probes are used to measure the current flowing in a conductor or bus bar without opening the circuit. They also insulate the user from dangerous voltages in the circuit. The choice of current probe depends on the amperage to be measured and the diameter of the cables or size of the bus bar.
■ For three-phase measurements, use the color-coded ID markers to associate a color for each current input to match the phase identifiers on the measured system.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Always connect the probes or sensors with the indicating arrows pointing toward the load.
■ Connect the current probe or sensor to the current terminals of the instrument.
For Probes:
■ Press the jaw opening lever on the probe to open the jaws.
■ Clamp the probe around the conductor to be tested. For best results, center the conductor in the jaws of the clamp.
