AC/DC Solar Current Clamp
100 A
Instructions
Introduction
Fluke current clamps extend the current ranges of Fluke tools.
The Fluke i100AC/DC Solar Current Clamp is highly reliable,
measures 1 Ato100 A and provides accurate current reading
without breaking the circuit. This clamp measures both ac and dc
current with a large jaw, battery-powered Hall-effect probe that
gives access to difficult toreach areas.
Safety
A Warning identifies hazardous conditions and procedures that
are dangerous to the user. A Caution identifies conditions and
procedures that can cause damage to the Product or the
equipment under test.
XW Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal
injury:
Carefully read all instructions.
Read all safety information before you use the
Product.

Do not alter the Product and use only as specified, or
the protection supplied by the Product can be
compromised.
Do not use the Product around explosive gas, vapor,
or in damp or wet environments.
Do not touch voltages >30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or
60 V dc.
Do not use the Product if it operates incorrectly.
Do not use the Product if it is altered or damaged.
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.
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.
Use the Clamp only on insulated conductors. Use
caution around bare conductors or bus bars. To
prevent electrical shock, do not touch the conductor.
Do not apply more than the rated voltage and rated
current on the jaws.
Do not use a current measurement as an indication
that a circuit is safe to touch. A voltage measurement
is necessary to know if a circuit is hazardous.
Hold the Product behind the tactile barrier.
Remove the input signals before you clean the
Product.
Repair the Product before use if the battery leaks.
Battery leakage may create a shock hazard or damage
the Product.
Batteries contain hazardous chemicals that can cause
burns or explode. If exposure to chemicals occurs,
clean with water and get medical aid.
Remove the batteries if the Product is not used for an
extended period of time, or if stored in temperatures
above 50 °C. If the batteries are not removed, battery
leakage may result.

The battery door must be closed and locked before
you operate the Product.
Be sure that the battery polarity is correct to prevent
battery leakage.
Use only specified replacement parts.
Have an approved technician repair the Product.
