stringent demands in industry and electrical contracting, it also meets the latest safety and performance
standards. This probe has a measurement range up to 10 Arms and is compatible with any AC voltmeter,
multimeter, or other voltage measurement instrument that has the following features: Range and
resolution capable of displaying 100 mV of output per amp of measured current; Voltmeter accuracy of
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: Potentially high voltages and currents may be present and may pose a
shock hazard.
•
• 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.
• ALWAYS inspect the instrument, probe, probe cable, and output terminals prior to use. Replace
any defective parts immediately.
•
when clamping around bare conductors or bus bars.

DEFINITION OF MEASUREMENT CATEGORIES (CAT)
CAT IV corresponds to measurements performed at the primary electrical supply (< 1000 V).
Example: primary overcurrent protection devices, ripple control units, and meters.
CAT III corresponds to measurements performed in the building installation at the distribution level.
Example: hardwired equipment in xed installation and circuit breakers.
CAT II corresponds to measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the electrical
distribution system.
Example: measurements on household appliances and portable tools.

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 MN375.
• 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
100mV/A. This means that for 10A AC in a conductor around which the probe is clamped, 1 V AC
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 10 to obtain the measured current
•
Tips for Making Precise Measurements
• When using a current probe with a meter, it is important to select the range that provides the best
• 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
■
■To avoid electrical shock, do not attempt to perform any servicing unless you are
■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 with a soft oiled cloth.
