DocumentDocumentAC Current Probe Models SR601 and SR604 User Manual DESCRIPTION The AEMC® Instruments Models SR601 and SR604 (Cat. #2113.43/2113.44) are designed for use in industrial environments. The ergonomic design allows them to easily attach to cables or small bus bars. The circular jaws guarantee a very good accuracy and low phase shift. The probes have a measurement range up to 1000 ARMS continuous and are compatible with any AC ammeter, multimeter, or other current measurement instrument with an input impedance lower than 5 . To achieve the stated accuracy, use the SR601/SR604 with an ammeter having an accuracy of 0.75 % or better. WARNING: The safety warnings are provided to ensure the safety of personnel and proper operation of the instrument. Read the instruction completely. Use caution on any circuit: potentially high voltages and currents may be present and may pose a shock hazard. Do not use the probe if damaged. Always connect the current probe to the measuring device before it is connected around the conductor Do not use on non-insulated conductor with a potential to ground greater than 600 V CAT III pollution 2. Use extreme caution when clamping around bare conductors or bus bars. Before each use, inspect the probe; look for cracks in housing or output cable insulation. Do not use clamp in wet environment or in locations that hazardous gases exist. Do not use the probe anywhere beyond the tactile barrier. INTERNATIONAL ELECTRICAL SYMBOLS Signifies that the instrument is protected by double or reinforced insulation. CAUTION - Risk of Danger! Indicates a WARNING. Whenever this symbol is present, the operator must refer to the user manual before operation. Application or withdrawal authorized on conductors carrying dangerous voltages. Type A current sensor as per IEC 61010-2-032. DEFINITION OF MEASUREMENT CATEGORIES (CAT) CAT IV: Corresponds to measurements performed at the primary electrical supply (< 1000 V). Example: primary overcurrent protection devices, ripple control units, and meters. CAT III: Corresponds to measurements performed in the building installation at the distribution level. Example: hardwired equipment in fixed installation and circuit breakers. CAT II: Corresponds to measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the electrical distribution system. Example: measurements on household appliances and portable tools. RECEIVING YOUR SHIPMENT Upon receiving your shipment, make sure that the contents are consistent with the packing list. Notify your distributor of any missing items. If the equipment appears to be damaged, file a claim immediately with the carrier and notify your distributor at once, giving a detailed description of any damage.

Making Measurements with the AC Current Probe Models SR601/SR604 Connect the black lead of the current probe to common and the red lead to the AC current input on your DMM or other current measuring instrument. Select the appropriate current range (2 AAC range). Clamp the probe around the conductor to be tested with the arrow pointed toward the load. If the reading is less than 200 mA, select the lower range until you obtain the best resolution. Read the value display on the DMM and multiply it by the probe ratio (1000/1). (If reading = 0.659 A, the current flowing through the probe is 0.659 A x 1000 = 659 AAC) For best accuracy, avoid if possible, the proximity of other conductors which may create noise. Tips for Making Precise Measurements When using a current probe with a meter, it is important to select the range that provides the best resolution. Failure to do this may result in measurement errors. Make sure that probe jaw mating surfaces are free of dust and contamination. Contaminants cause air gaps between the jaws, increasing the phase shift between primary and secondary. It is very critical for power measurement. MAINTENANCE Warning For maintenance use only original factory replacement parts. To avoid electrical shock, do not attempt to perform any servicing unless you are qualified to do so. To avoid electrical shock and/or damage to the instrument, do not get water or other foreign agents into the probe. Cleaning To ensure optimum performance, it is important to keep the probe jaw mating surfaces clean at all times. Failure to do so may result in error in readings. To clean the probe jaws, use very fine sand paper (fine 600) to avoid scratching the jaw, then gently clean with a soft oiled cloth. REPAIR AND CALIBRATION To ensure that your instrument meets factory specifications, we recommend that it be sent back to our factory Service Center at one-year intervals for recalibration or as required by other standards or internal procedures. For instrument repair and calibration: You must contact our Service Center for a Customer Service Authorization Number (CSA#). Send an email to repair@aemc.com requesting a CSA#, you will be provided a CSA Form and other required paperwork along with the next steps to complete the request. Then return the instrument along with the signed CSA Form. Please write the CSA# on the outside of the shipping container. If the instrument is returned for calibration, we need to know if you want a standard calibration or a calibration traceable to N.I.S.T.
