Operating Procedure
1. Enter the appropriate settings on the measuring instrument being used to accommodate the
output from the probe.
2. Connect measuring leads (758917, sold separately) to the probe's output terminals and the
measuring instrument. The connection method diers depending on the measuring instrument
being used. See your instrument's user's manual for the procedure. If the connector on the
measuring leads cannot be connected to the input terminals on the measuring instrument, use
a fork terminal (758921: sold separately) or other adapter.
Example • For a digital power meter, connect a lead from the red output terminal (+) to
the current input I terminal, and from the black output terminal (-) to the current
± terminal.
• For a digital multimeter, connect a lead from the red output terminal (+) to the
A terminal, and from the black output terminal (-) to the Lo terminal.
3. Squeeze the jaws to open the clamps, then position the conductor inside the feed-through
hole. Hold the probe so that the conductor is as closely in the center of the feed through hole
as possible.
4. Release the clamp lever to close the clamps. Steps 3 and 4 is called clamping.
5. Read the measured values on the measuring instrument. Calculate the current owing
through the conductor using an input/output ratio of 1000:1.
Example: Given that 150.0 mA is owing from the probe's output terminal,
current = 150.0 mA × 1000 = 150.0 A.
Note
• Close the clamp completely before taking measurements. Errors can occur If any foreign
objects or particles become trapped between the jaws.
• Only perform measurements on conductors in which the current is flowing in only one
direction. The instrument cannot correctly measure earth-shielded conductors or parallel
conductors with current owing in both directions.
• To reduce errors, use a measuring instrument with an internal impedance less than or equal to 1Ω.
• If DC current is superimposed on an AC current being measured, the output signal from the
clamp will become distorted and measurements will be inaccurate.
• When measuring phase dierence in voltage and current using an instrument such as a digital
power meter, make sure that the current ows in the same direction as the arrows on the probe.
The phase dierence can be correctly measured by positioning the clamp so that current ows
from the front side (name plate) to the reverse side (in the direction shown by the arrows on the jaws).
• Avoid locations with extremely strong external magnetic fields (other than the conductor
under test) as they may cause measurement errors.

category IV measurements. This instrument is a measurement category IV (300V) product.
Measurement category O applies to measurement of other types of circuits that are not directly connected
to a main power source.
Measurement Category II applies to electrical equipment that is powered through a xed installation, such
as a wall outlet wired to a distribution board, and to measurement performed on such wiring.
Measurement category III applies to measurement of facility circuits, such as distribution boards and

Measurement category IV applies to measurement of power source circuits, such as entrance cables to
buildings and cable systems, for low-voltage installations.
2 Pollution degree describes the degree to which a solid, liquid, or gas which deteriorates dielectric strength
or surface resistivity is adhering.
Pollution Degree 2 applies to the normal indoor atmosphere. Normally, only non-conductive pollution
occurs. Occasionally, however, temporary conductivity caused by condensation must be expected.

6. Maintenance
• Note the following when cleaning the probe.
• Do not clean the probe while clamped to a conductor. Likewise, do not clean while
connected to a measuring instrument.
• Do not allow water to contact the jaws.
• Keep the metal surfaces of the iron cores, which are exposed when the clamp is opened, clean.
If dust accumulates, wipe with a clean dry cloth. To prevent rust, wipe metal surfaces with oil from
time to time. Avoid getting oil on non-metallic surfaces. Use only high quality, low-viscosity machine
oil such as sewing machine oil.
• This product undergoes a 100% inspection at the time of shipment. If any layers of the core
come apart slightly during shipment, this will not aect the functioning of the product.
The metal surfaces of the iron
cores are exposed when the
clamp is opened (4 locations).
