respect to ground in measurement CAT III or 600 V in CAT IV between the

sensor and the conductor that measures the current.

The protection provided by the instrument may be impaired if the instrument is

used other than as specied by the manufacturer.

■Comply with the rated maximum voltage and current, and the

measurement category.

■Observe the conditions of use; temperature, relative humidity, altitude,

level of pollution, and location.

■Before each use, check the integrity of the insulation on the sensor,

cable and housing. Do not use the instrument if it is open, damaged,

poorly assembled, or if its accessories appear damaged.

■The sensor must not be applied to or removed from uninsulated

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 xed 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.

2. PRODUCT FEATURES

2.1 DESCRIPTION

An ideal addition to the electrician’s tool kit, the Digital FlexProbe®series can be

used for TRMS AC current measurements from 20 mA to 4000 A, and are rated

600 V CAT IV. They provide a welcomed solution when accessing electrical

conductors is di󰀩cult and in tight places.

Two models are available. The Model 400D, available with a 10 in, or 24 in

sensor, has a measurement range starting at 20 mA, and is designed for work in

residential, commercial and light industrial applications. It can be used to check

electrical distribution systems up to 400 A.

The Model 4000D, available with a either a 14 in or 24 in sensor, has a

measurement range starting at 100mA and can be used on higher-power

industrial installations, as well as electrical utilities for measurements up to

4000 A.

Although they are high-performance instruments, the Digital FlexProbe®Series

are very simple to use: two buttons are all it takes to start the instrument,

deactivate the auto power-o󰀨, HOLD the value on the display or store the

maximum value (MAX HOLD). The values are read directly on the built-in

4000-count display.

They are ergonomically designed for comfortable handheld use even when bulky

gloves are required. The optional articulating, magnetic Multix mounting system

accessory makes it simple to hang on a wall, door, table edge or clip onto a belt.
