AC Current Probe
Model MN02
User Manual
DESCRIPTION
The Model MN02 (Cat. #2129.20) is a small, compact AC current probe and is designed
to meet the most stringent demands in industry and electrical contracting. This instrument
meets the latest safety and performance standards. The probe has a measurement range
up to 100 Arms which makes it a perfect tool for measurement with DMMs and recorders.
The Model MN02 is compatible with any AC ammeter, multimeter, or other current
measurement instrument with an input impedance lower than 10 Ω. To achieve the stated
accuracy, use the probe with an ammeter with an accuracy of 0.75 % or better.
WARNING
These safety warnings are provided to ensure the safety of personnel and proper operation of the
instrument.
• Read the instruction manual completely and follow all the safety information before attempting to use
or service this instrument.
• Use caution on any circuit: high voltages and currents may be present and may pose a shock hazard.
• Read the Safety Specications section prior to using the current probe. Never exceed the maximum
voltage ratings given.
• Safety is the responsibility of the operator.
• ALWAYS connect the current probe to the display device before clamping the probe onto the sample
being tested.

defective parts immediately.
• NEVER use the current probe on electrical conductors rated above 600 V in overvoltage category III
(CAT III). Use extreme caution when clamping around bare conductors or bus bars.

DEFINITION OF MEASUREMENT CATEGORIES (CAT)
CAT IV: For measurements performed at the primary electrical supply (< 1000 V), such as
primary 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 xed installation or circuit breakers.
CAT II: For measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the electrical
distribution system, such as measurements on household appliances or portable tools.

Making Measurements with the AC Current Probe Model MN02
• Connect the black lead of the current probe to “common” and the red lead to the
AC current input on your DMM or other current measuring instrument. Select the
appropriate current range (400 mAAC range). Clamp the probe around the conductor
to be tested. If the reading is less than 400 mA, select the lower range until you obtain
the best resolution. Read the value display on the DMM and multiply it by the probe
ratio (1000/1). If the reading = 0.098 A, the current owing through the probe is
0.098 A x 1000 = 98 AAC.
• For best accuracy, avoid taking measurements in the proximity of other conductors if
possible. The other conductors may create noise that will aect the accuracy of the
measurement.
Tips for Making Precise Measurements
• 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.
• Make sure that probe jaw mating surfaces are free of dust and contamination. It is
critical for power measurement. Contaminants cause air gaps between the jaws,
which increases the phase shift between primary and secondary.
MAINTENANCE
Warning
• For maintenance, use only original replacement parts.
• To avoid electrical shock, do not attempt to perform any service on the device unless
you are qualied to do so.
• To avoid electrical shock and/or damage to the instrument, do not allow water or other
foreign agents to come into contact with 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 ne sand paper (ne 600) to avoid scratching the jaw, and 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.
