AC Current Oscilloscope Probe Model MN261

1. INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing an AEMC®Instruments AC Current Oscilloscope

Probe Model MN261.

For the best results from your instrument and for your safety, you must

read the enclosed operating instructions carefully and comply with the

precautions for use. Only qualied and trained operators should use this

product.

Symbols and Denitions

Signies 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

Indicates a risk of electric shock. The voltage at the parts marked with this

symbol may be dangerous

Application or withdrawal authorized on conductors carrying dangerous

voltages. Type A current sensor per IEC 61010-2-032

Important information to acknowledge

This product complies with the Low Voltage & Electromagnetic Compatibility

European directives (73/23/CEE & 89/336/CEE)

Denition 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 installa-

tion at the distribution level.

Example: hardwired equipment in xed installation and circuit breakers.

CAT II corresponds to measurements performed on circuits directly con-

nected to the electrical distribution system.

Example: measurements on household appliances and portable tools.

AC Current Oscilloscope Probe Model MN261

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

These safety warnings are provided to ensure the safety of personnel and

proper operation of the instrument.

Connect the probe to the oscilloscope or voltage measuring instrument

before clamping the probe around a conductor.

Never use the probe on circuits rated higher than 600V, Cat III.

Never leave the probe clamped around a conductor while not connected

to an oscilloscope or voltage measuring instrument.

Carefully center the conductor inside the probe jaws and ascertain that

the probe is perpendicular to the conductor.

Avoid, if possible, the proximity of other conductors which may create

noise.

Check the magnetic mating surfaces of the probe jaws; these should be

free of dirt, rust, or other foreign matter.

Do not use a probe which is cracked, damaged, or has defective leads.

1.1 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 equip-

ment appears to be damaged, le a claim immediately with the carrier and

notify your distributor at once, giving a detailed description of any damage.

Save the damaged packing container to substantiate your claim.

AC Current Oscilloscope Probe Model MN261

2. PRODUCT FEATURES

2.1 DESCRIPTION

The AC Current Oscilloscope Probe Model MN261 expands oscilloscope

applications in industrial or power environments, and is ideal for analysis

and measurement of distorted current waveforms and harmonics.

The Model MN261 permits accurate display and measurement of currents

from (0.1 to 240) Arms, 40 Hz to 10 kHz (with current derating) without

breaking into the circuit. A passive lter eliminates noise, ring on rapid

rising (di/dt) waveforms, and ensures accurate screen displays.

The probe connects directly to an oscilloscope through an insulated coax-

ial cable with an insulated BNC.

2.2 COMPATIBILITY

The Model MN261 is compatible with any analog or digital oscilloscope

or other voltage-measuring instrument which has the following features:

• BNC input connector

• Range capable of displaying (0.2 to 0.5) V per division, or 2 V range

• Minimum input impedance of 1 MΩ

AC Current Oscilloscope Probe Model MN261

2.3 CONTROL FEATURES

1. Jaw Opening: 0.83 in (21 mm)

2. Maximum dimension of conductor: 0.78 in (20 mm)

3. Two position switch

4. 6.5 ft (2 m) output cable

5. Arrow indicates direction of current ow. Current ows in a positive

direction when it travels from supply to load.
