AC Current Probe
Model JM810A
User Manual
DESCRIPTION
The JM810A (Catalog #2110.80) is designed for use in industrial environments. The
“squared” jaws permit multiple conductor or bus bar positioning. The current output makes
it the perfect tool for measurement with DMMs, recorders, and power and harmonic meters.
The Model JM810A is compatible with any AC ammeter, multimeter, or other current
accuracy, use the JM810A with the DMM having an accuracy of 0.75%.

Making Measurements with the AC Current Probe Model JM810A
■Connect the black and red terminals to the Ampere AC range of your DMM or current
measuring instrument. Select the appropriate current range (2 A). Clamp the probe
range until you obtain the best resolution. Read the value display on the DMM and
).
■For best accuracy: carefully center the conductor inside the probe jaw, avoid if possible,
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.
Contaminants cause air gaps between the jaws, increasing the phase shift between
.
MAINTENANCE
Warning
■For maintenance use only original factory replacement parts.
■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 get water or other
foreign agents into 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,
with a soft oiled cloth.
