AC Current Probe
Models MN312 and MN313
User Manual
DESCRIPTION
The MN312/313 (Cat. #2116.24/2116.25) are the latest in compact AC current probes. Designed to
meet the most stringent demands in industry and electrical contracting, they also meet the latest safety
and performance standards. The probes have a measurement range up to 200Arms which make them
perfect tools for measurements with DMMs, recorders, power and harmonic meters. The Models
MN312/MN313 are compatible with any AC ammeter, multimeter, or other current measurement with an
input impedance lower than 1 . To achieve the stated accuracy, use the MN312/MN313 with an
ammeter having an accuracy of 0.75% or better.
WARNING
The safety warnings are provided to ensure the safety of personnel and proper operation of the
instrument. Read the instruction completely.
• Use caution on any circuit: potentially high voltages and currents may be present and may pose
a shock hazard.
• Do not use the probe if damaged. Always connect the current probe to the measuring device
before it is connected around the conductor
• Do not use on non-insulated conductor with a potential to ground greater than 600V CAT III
pollution 2. Use extreme caution when clamping around bare conductors or bus bars.
• Before each use, inspect the probe; look for cracks in housing or output cable insulation.
• Do not use clamp in wet environment or in locations that hazardous gases exist.
• Do not use the probe anywhere beyond the tactile barrier.
INTERNATIONAL ELECTRICAL SYMBOLS
This symbol signifies that the current probe is protected by double or reinforced insulation. Use

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 MN312/MN313
Connect the black lead of the current probe to “common” and the red lead to the AC current input on
your DMM or other current measuring instrument. Select the appropriate current range (400mA AC
range). Clamp the probe around the conductor to be tested with the arrow pointed toward the load. If
the reading is less than 10mA, select the lower range until you obtain the best resolution. Read the
value display on the DMM and multiply it by the probe ratio (1000/1). (If reading = 102mA, the current
flowing through the probe is 102mA x 1000 = 102000mA AC = 102A).
For best accuracy, avoid if possible, the proximity of other conductors which may create noise.
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. Contaminants cause air
gaps between the jaws, increasing the phase shift between primary and secondary. It is very critical for
power measurement.
MAINTENANCE:
Warning
For maintenance use only original factory replacement parts.
To avoid electrical shock, do not attempt to perform any servicing unless you are qualified to do so.
To avoid electrical shock and/or damage to the instrument, do not get water or other foreign agents
into 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 fine sand paper (fine
600) to avoid scratching the jaw, then gently clean with a soft oiled cloth.
REPAIR AND CALIBRATION
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.
NOTE: All customers must obtain a CSA# before returning any instrument.
