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.

Read the safety specifications section before using the Model

MR411 or MR521. NEVER exceed the maximum voltage

ratings given.

Safety is the responsibility of the operator.

NEVER open the back of the instrument while connected to

any circuit or input.

ALWAYS connect the Model MR411 or MR521 to the display

device before clamping the probe onto the sample under test.

ALWAYS inspect the instrument and lead prior to use.

Replace any defective parts immediately.

NEVER use the Model MR411 or MR521 on electrical

conductors rated above 600V.

International Electrical Symbols

This symbol signifies that the instrument is protected by double

or reinforced insulation. Use only specified replacement parts

when servicing the instrument.

This symbol signifies CAUTION! and requests that the user refer

to the user manual before using the instrument.

Risk of electric shock. The voltage at the parts marked with this

symbol may be dangerous.

This is a type A current sensor. This symbol signifies that

application around and removal from HAZARDOUS LIVE

conductors is permitted.

Definition of Measurement Categories

CAT II: For measurements performed on circuits directly connected to

the electrical distribution system. Examples are measurements

on household appliances or portable tools.

CAT III: For measurements performed in the building installation at the

distribution level such as on hardwired equipment in fixed

installation and circuit breakers.

CAT IV: For measurements performed at the primary electrical supply

(<1000V) such as on primary overcurrent protection devices,

ripple control units, or meters

Receiving Your Shipment

Both models include a 9V battery, warranty card and user manual.

Upon receiving your shipment, be sure that the contents are consistent

with the packing list. Notify your distributor of any missing items. If the

equipment appears to be damaged, file a claim immediately with the

carrier and notify your distributor with a detailed description of any

damage. Save the damaged packing container to substantiate your claim.

Description

The MR probes are designed to meet the latest safety and performance

standards. Two different hook-shaped jaws are offered, both permitting

the user to “pry” into or “hook” onto cables (will accept 2 x 500 MCM) or

even smaller bus bars.

The MR series uses Hall effect technology. The electronics and batteries

are self-contained in the handles. The output of the AC/DC probes is

1mV/A and 10mV/A. An auto zero push button ensures rapid and stable

zeroing. There is no output filtering - True RMS with DC components is

possible. Phase shift is excellent, making the MR series well suited for

power and power quality applications.

Model MR411 is a portable 400A AC (600A peak), 600A DC current

probe. Model MR521 is a portable 1000A AC (1500A peak), 1500A DC

current probe that accurately measures AC or DC current waveforms

using Hall effect technology.

Both models have proportional mV output for direct readings on

multimeters, recorders, loggers and other instruments accepting banana

plugs.
