WARNING, risk of DANGER! The operator must refer to these instruc-
tions whenever this danger symbol appears.
Current sensor protected by double insulation.
Application or withdrawal authorized on bare conductors carrying danger-
ous voltages. Type A current sensor as per IEC 61010-2-032.
Must not be applied to or removed from bare conductors at dangerous
voltages. Type B current sensor as per IEC 61010-2-032.
The arrow indicates the phase of the current.
Battery.
The CE marking guarantees conformity with European directives, in
particular LVD and EMC.
The rubbish bin with a line through it indicates that, in the European
Union, the product must undergo selective disposal in compliance with
Directive WEEE 2002/96/EC. This equipment must not be treated as
household waste.
Denition of measurement categories:
Measurement category IV corresponds to measurements taken at the source of
low-voltage installations.
Example: power feeders, counters and protection devices.
Measurement category III corresponds to measurements on building installations.
Example: distribution panel, circuit-breakers, machines or xed industrial devices.
Measurement category II corresponds to measurements taken on circuits directly
connected to low-voltage installations.
Example: power supply to electro-domestic devices and portable tools.

Thank you for purchasing a MN93, MN93A, C193 or PAC93 AC current clamp or
a MiniFlex®MA193 or MA196, AmpFlex® A193 or A196A exible current sensor.
This current sensor should only be used only with C.A 82XX, C.A 83XX, C.A 84XX
and PEL 1XX analysers.
For best service from your current sensor:
read these operating instructions carefully,
comply with the precautions for use.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
The protection assured by the current sensor can be compromised if it is used in a
way that is not recommended by the manufacturer.
Comply with the rated maximum voltage and current and the measurement cat-
egory. Do not use your current sensor on networks where the voltage or category
exceeds those stipulated.
Comply with the conditions of use, that is to say temperature, humidity, altitude,
degree of pollution and location of use.
Do not use the current sensor if its housing is open, deteriorated, or incorrectly
reassembled. Before each use, check the integrity of the insulation of the core or
of the arms of the clamps, of the housing, and of the leads.
Do not subject the current sensor to sprayed or falling water or other liquids.
Keep the gap of the clamp absolutely clean.
Use suitable personal protective equipment when parts at hazardous voltages may
be accessible in the installation where the measurement is made.
Any repairs must be carried out by accredited skilled personnel.
