AC Current Probe
Model MN134
User Manual
DESCRIPTION
The AEMC®Instruments Model MN134 (Cat. #2129.22) is a small, compact AC current
probe and is designed to meet the most stringent demands in industry and electrical
contracting. This instrument meets the latest safety and performance standards. The probe
has a measurement range up to 10 Arms which makes it a perfect tool for measurement
with DMMs and recorders. The Model MN134 is compatible with any AC multimeter, or other
voltage measurement instrument with an input impedance greater than 1 MΩ. To achieve the
stated accuracy, use the probe with a voltmeter with an accuracy of 0.75 % or better.
WARNING
These safety warnings are provided to ensure the safety of personnel and proper operation of the
instrument.
• Read the instruction manual completely and follow all the safety information before attempting
to use or service this instrument.
• Use caution on any circuit: high voltages and currents may be present and may pose a shock
hazard.
• Read the Safety Specications section prior to using the current probe. Never exceed the
maximum voltage ratings given.
• Safety is the responsibility of the operator.
• ALWAYS connect the current probe to the display device before clamping the probe onto the
sample being tested.
• ALWAYS inspect the instrument, probe, probe cable, and output terminals prior to use.
Replace any defective parts immediately.
• NEVER use the current probe on electrical conductors rated above 600 V in overvoltage
category III (CAT III). Use extreme caution when clamping around bare conductors or bus bars.

DEFINITION OF MEASUREMENT CATEGORIES (CAT)
CAT IV: For measurements performed at the primary electrical supply (< 1000 V), such as
primary overcurrent protection devices, ripple control units, or meters.
CAT III: For measurements performed in the building installation at the distribution level,
such as hardwired equipment in xed installation or circuit breakers.
CAT II: For measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the electrical
distribution system, such as measurements on household appliances or portable tools.

OPERATION
Please make sure that you have already read and fully understand the WARNING section
on page 1.
Making Measurements with the AC Current Probe Model MN134
• Connect the black lead of the current probe to “common” and the red lead to the AC
voltage input on your DMM. Select the appropriate range (2 VAC range). Clamp the
probe around the conductor to be tested. If the reading is less than 200 mV, select the
lower range until you obtain the best resolution. Read the value display on the DMM
and multiply it by the probe ratio (100/1). (If reading = 159 mV, the current owing
through the probe is
159 x 100 = 1590 mAAC or 1.59 AAC)
• For best accuracy, avoid taking measurements in the proximity of other conductors if
possible. The other conductors may create noise that will aect the accuracy of the
measurement.
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. It is
critical for power measurement. Contaminants cause air gaps between the jaws,
which increases the phase shift between primary and secondary.
MAINTENANCE
Warning
• This product does not have replacement parts.
• To avoid electrical shock, do not attempt to perform any service on the device unless
you are qualied to do so.
• To avoid electrical shock and/or damage to the instrument, do not allow water or other
foreign agents to come into contact with 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 ne sand paper (ne 600) to avoid scratching the jaw, and then gently clean with a
soft, oiled cloth.
REPAIR AND CALIBRATION
A calibration check is recommended once per year. No adjustment is possible.
You must contact our Service Center for a Customer Service Authorization number (CSA#).
This will ensure that, when your instrument arrives, it will be tracked and processed
promptly. 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. (includes calibration certicate plus recorded calibration data).
