2. PRODUCT FEATURES
2.1 DESCRIPTION
The AC/DC Current Probe Model MR6292 is an accessory for the AEMC® Instruments Micro-Ohmmeter Model 6292. The Model MR6292 probe is required for using the Model 6292 to take measurements in BSG (both sides grounded) mode.
The probe is designed to meet the latest safety and performance standards. The probe's hook-shaped jaws enable you to pry into or hook onto cables (it will accept 2 x 500 MCM) or small bus bars.
The Model MR6292 uses Hall effect technology. All electronics are self-contained in the handle. The output of the probe is 10 mV/A. No battery is required as the probe operates via voltage provided by the Model 6292.
The probe has a proportional mV output for direct reading on the Model 6292.

4. OPERATION

The Model MR6292 probe is used in conjunction with the Micro-Ohmmeter Model 6292 to perform measurements in BSG (both sides grounded) mode. For additional information about using the Micro-Ohmmeter Model 6292, refer to the user manual on the USB Drive that ships with the instrument.
4.1 MAKING MEASUREMENTS
1. Plug the probe into the Model 6292.
2. Turn the power to the Model 6292 ON.
3. The green LED on the Model MR6292 should be lit. If the LED does not come ON or goes OFF after a few minutes; check to ensure that the Model 6292 instrument is still powered ON, and that the Model MR6292 is securely plugged into the instrument's socket.
4. Set up a test on the Micro-Ohmmeter Model 6292, as instructed by the instrument's user manual (located on the USB Drive).
5. Clamp the probe onto the ground conductor to be tested, then start the test. The Model 6292 will display the measured ground conductor current as the Ig reading on the instrument's LCD display panel.

R=100.0u

It=142A

Ig=8.0A
