AC/DC Current Clamp
Instruction Sheet
Introduction
The i310s Current Clamp (“Clamp”) has been designed for use
with oscilloscopes and digital multimeters for accurate non-
intrusive measurement of ac, dc and complex waveform currents.
Using advanced Hall Effect technology, the Clamp can
accurately measure currents up to 450 A peak over the
frequency range of dc to 20 kHz. 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.

The table below lists the symbols used on the Clamp and/or in
this manual.

Safety Instructions
Please read this section carefully. It will make you familiar with
the most important safety instructions for handling your product.
In this instruction sheet, a Warning identifies conditions and
actions that pose hazard(s) to the user. A Caution identifies
conditions and actions that may damage the calibrator or the test
instruments.
WX Warning
The Clamp may only be used and handled by
qualified personnel. To avoid personal injury, follow
these precautions:
•To avoid electric shock, use caution during
installation and use of this product; high
voltages and currents may be present in circuit
under test.
•Do not use the Clamp if damaged. Always
connect to display device before it is installed
around the conductor.
•Always ensure the Clamp is removed from any
live electric circuit, and leads are disconnected
before removing the battery cover.
•Use the Clamp only as specified in the
operating instructions; otherwise the safety
features may not protect you.
•Adhere to local and national safety codes.
Individual protective equipment must be used
to prevent the shock and arc blast injury where
hazardous live conductors are exposed.
•Do not hold the Clamp anywhere beyond the
tactile barrier.
•Before each use, inspect the Clamp. Look for
cracks or missing portions of the housing or
output cable insulation. Also look for loose or
weakened components. Pay particular attention
to the insulation surrounding the jaws.
•Use caution when working with voltages above
60 V dc, 30 V ac rms or 42 V ac peak. Such
voltages pose a shock hazard.
•Use of this equipment is designed to protect
against transients in equipment in fixed
equipment installations, such as distribution
panels, feeders and short branch circuits, and
lighting systems in large buildings.

•CAT III equipment is designed to protect against
the transients in the equipment in fixed
equipment installations, such as distribution
panels, feeders and short branch circuits, and
the lighting systems in large buildings.
•Do not use Clamp in wet environments or in
locations that hazardous gases exist.

WX Warning
To avoid injury, when using the Clamp, ensure that
your fingers are behind the protective barrier as
shown in Figure 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.
Switch On
Switch the Clamp to the required current range, and check that
the LED is lit. The LED starts flashing when the battery voltage is
too low for normal operation and warns the user that it requires
changing. This procedure is described below.
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, depress the thumbwheel and rotate.
Ensure that the Clamp is away from the current carrying
conductor whilst the adjustment is made.

Current Measurement
1. Switch on the Clamp to the required current range and
check that the LED is lit.
2. Connect the output lead to an oscilloscope, multimeter,
or other measuring equipment.
3. If necessary, adjust the Clamp output voltage to zero as
described in section Zero Adjustment.
4. Clamp the jaw around the conductor ensuring a good
contact between the closing faces of the jaws.
5. Observe and take measurements as required. Positive
output indicates that the current flow is in the direction
shown by the arrow on the Clamp.
Maintenance
Cleaning
Clean the case periodically by wiping it with a damp cloth and
detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Do not
immerse the Clamp in liquids.
Battery Replacement
WX Warning
To avoid personal injury, always ensure the Clamp
is removed from any live electric circuit, and leads
are disconnected before removing the battery cover.
Never operate the Clamp without the battery cover
fitted.
The red LED will flash when the minimum operating voltage is
approached. Refer to Figure 1. Use the following procedure:
1. Unclamp from the conductor, turn it off using the On –
Off switch and disconnect the output leads, from
external equipment.
2. Loosen the captive screw that secures the battery
cover. Lift the cover through 30° and pull it clear of the
Clamp body as shown in Figure 1. The battery is then
accessible. Replace the battery and re-fit the battery
cover and fasten the screw.
Note
Replacement with other than the specified type of
battery will invalidate the warranty.
Fit only the type 9 V PP3 Alkaline (MN 1604).
