80i-2010s
AC/DC Current Clamp
Instructions
Introduction
Use the Fluke 80i-2010s AC/DC Current Clamp (the Clamp or Product)
with oscilloscopes and digital multimeters and power analyzers for
accurate non-intrusive measurements of ac, dc, and complex waveform
currents.
Using advanced Hall Effect technology, the Clamp can accurately
measure currents up to 2000 A RMS. These features make it a powerful
tool for use in inverters, switch mode power supplies, industrial
controllers, automotive diagnostics, and other applications requiring
current measurements and/or waveform analysis.
Table 1 shows the Clamp.

Safety
A Warning identifies conditions and procedures that are dangerous to the
user.
XW Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:
• Read all safety information before you use the Product.
• Use the Product only as specified, or the protection
supplied by the Product can be compromised.
• Comply with local and national safety codes. Use personal
protective equipment (approved rubber gloves, face
protection, and flame-resistant clothes) to prevent shock
and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors are
exposed.
• Do not use the Product around explosive gas, vapor, or in
damp or wet environments.
• Examine the case before you use the Product. Look for
cracks or missing plastic. Carefully look at the insulation
around the terminals.

• Use Product-approved measurement category (CAT),
voltage, and amperage rated accessories (probes, test
leads, and adapters) for all measurements.
• Do not use test leads if they are damaged. Examine the
test leads for damaged insulation and measure a known
voltage.
• Before each use, examine the Product. Look for cracks or
missing pieces of the clamp housing or output cable
insulation. Also look for loose or weakened components.
Carefully examine the insulation around the jaws.
• Hold the Product behind the tactile barrier. See  of
Table 1.
• Do not use the Product if it is damaged.
• Do not use the Product if it operates incorrectly.
• The battery door must be closed and locked before you
operate the Product.
• Remove all probes, test leads, and accessories before the
battery door is opened.
• Do not work alone.
• Do not exceed the Measurement Category (CAT) rating of
the lowest rated individual component of a Product,
probe, or accessory.
• Do not touch voltages >30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or
60 V dc.
• Have an approved technician repair the Product.

Operating Instructions
XW Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:
• When using the Clamp, ensure that your fingers are
behind the protective barrier as shown in Table 1.
• Do not use the Clamp if any part, including the lead and
connector(s), appears to be damaged or if a malfunction
of the instrument is suspected.
• Before using the clamp make sure there is no dust or any
small debris on the closing faces of the jaw.
• Close the jaws gently and avoid closing them with high-
impact. The force of the impact can affect the accuracy of
the measurement.
Turn on the Clamp
Push + for 2 seconds to turn on/off the clamp.
• Green LED indicates the Clamp is ON and the battery is ok.
• Orange LED indicates the battery is lower than 2.2 V.
• Red LED indicates the battery is lower than 2 V. Replace the
battery before doing a measurement.
PConforms to European Union directives.
Conforms to relevant Australian Safety and EMC
standards.
Conforms to relevant South Korean EMC Standards.
Measurement Category III is applicable to test and
measuring circuits connected to the distribution part of
the building’s low-voltage MAINS installation.
Measurement Category IV is applicable to test and
measuring circuits connected at the source of the
building’s low-voltage MAINS installation.

This product complies with the WEEE Directive marking
requirements. The affixed label indicates that you must
not discard this electrical/electronic product in domestic
household waste. Product Category: With reference to
the equipment types in the WEEE Directive Annex I, this
product is classed as category 9 "Monitoring and
Control Instrumentation" product. Do not dispose of this
product as unsorted municipal waste.

Zero Adjustment
The output zero offset voltage of the Clamp may change due to thermal
shifts and other environmental conditions. To adjust the output voltage to
zero:
1. Make sure that the Clamp is away from the current carrying
conductor.
2. Push Zero Adjust and wait until the power LED (+) stops flashing.
Note
The Clamp cannot do the zero adjustment if the output
voltage is ±25 mV.
Current Measurement
To measure current:
1. Turn on the Clamp and check the LED status.
2. Connect the output lead/adapter to an oscilloscope, mulitmeter,
power analyzer, or other measuring equipment.
3. If necessary, adjust the Clamp output voltage to zero as described
in the section Zero Adjustment.
4. Clamp the jaw around the conductor and make sure there is good
contact between the closing faces of the jaw.
5. Take measurements as required. Positive output indicates that the
current flow is in the direction shown by the arrow on the clamp.
Maintenance
Before each use, inspect the Clamp. Look for cracks or missing portions of
the housing and output cable insulating cover and for loose or weakened
components.
Cleaning and Storage
Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and detergent. Do not use
abrasives or solvents. Do not immerse the Clamp in liquids.
Battery Replacement
XW Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:
• Replace the batteries when the low battery indicator
shows to prevent incorrect measurements.
• Always remove the Clamp from any live electric circuit,
and make sure leads are disconnected before removing
the battery cover.
• Never operate the Clamp without the battery cover
installed.
When the clamp approaches the minimum operating voltage, the red LED
indicates the battery is low.
To replace the battery (see Figure 1):
1. Disconnect the Clamp from any conductor.
2. Turn off the Clamp.
3. Disconnect the output leads from external equipment.

4. Locate the battery cover on the handle and unlock the fastener.
5. Remove the battery door and install the new batteries (IEC LR6).
6. Replace the battery cover, and lock the fastener.
Note
Replace the battery with the specified type only. Replacing
with the wrong battery type will invalidate the warranty.
