What are the key safety precautions for using the AEMC INSTRUMENTS SR193-BK and other compatible current probes?
The protection assured by the current probe can be compromised if it is used in a way that is not recommended by the manufacturer. Always follow these precautions:
• 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 perform a measurement with the AEMC INSTRUMENTS SR193-BK and other current probes?
The current probes and flexible sensors are used to measure the current flowing in a conductor or bus bar without opening the circuit. The choice of probe depends on the amperage and the size of the conductor.
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.
1. Connect the current probe or sensor to the current terminals of the instrument.
For Probes like the AEMC INSTRUMENTS SR193-BK:
• 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.
For AmpFlex® and MiniFlex® Sensors:
• To open the sensor, press simultaneously on both sides of the opening connector (AmpFlex®) or press the opening device (MiniFlex®).
• Clamp the sensor around the conductor to be tested. For best results, center the conductor in the jaws of the clamp.
• Close the sensor by pushing the moving part into the connector until it clicks.
For MR193 and SL261 Probes:
• MR193: Set the switch to 1mV/A; the ON indicator will light up.
• SL261: Set the switch to 10mA or 100mA/A; the ON indicator will light up.
• Connect the probe to the instrument.
• Adjust the zero by turning the potentiometer with no conductor in the jaws of the clamp.
• When the measurement is finished, turn the probe switch to OFF.
