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 qualied and trained operators should use this
product.
Symbols and Denitions
Signies 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)
Denition 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.

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
