1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing an AEMC®Instruments AmpFlex®Flexible AC
Current Probe.
For best results from your instrument and for your safety, read the enclosed
operating instructions carefully and comply with the precautions for use. These

the user manual before using the instrument.
This symbol refers to a type B current sensor. Do not apply around
or remove from HAZARDOUS LIVE conductors without additional
protective means (de-energizing the circuit or wearing protective
clothing suitable for high voltage work).
Denition of Measurement Categories (CAT)
CAT IV corresponds to measurements taken at the source of low-voltage
installations.
Example: power feeders, counters, and protections devices.
CAT III corresponds to measurements on building installations.
Example: distribution panel, circuit-breakers, machines, or xed industrial
devices.
CAT II corresponds to measurements taken on circuits directly connected to low-
voltage installations.
Example: power supple to domestic electrical appliances and portable tools.

1.1 PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
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.
■Wear protective clothing and gloves as required.
■Use caution on any circuit: potentially high voltages and currents may be
present and may pose a shock hazard.
■
exceed the max voltage ratings given.
■Safety is the responsibility of the operator. The AmpFlex®must be used only
■ALWAYS de-energize the circuit before wrapping the AmpFlex®around bare
conductors, bus bars, or near live parts. Do not wrap on live conductors.
■ALWAYS connect the electronic module to the display device before wrapping
the AmpFlex®around the sample being tested.
■ALWAYS inspect the module, sensor, sensor cable, and output terminals prior
to use. Replace any defective parts immediately. Use only factory parts.
■NEVER use the AmpFlex®
1000V CAT III.
1.2 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 equipment
distributor at once, giving a detailed description of any damage.
1.3 PACKAGING
Your AmpFlex®shipment consists of the following items:
■Flexible probe with electronic module.
■User manual.
■9V battery.

2. PRODUCT FEATURES
2.1 DESCRIPTION
The AmpFlex®
conductors where standard clamp-on probes could not be used. In particular, it
can be installed in tight spaces, around breaker panels, around cable bundles,
around wide or large bus bars, or even wrapped around irregular shapes. The
Shape Memory feature enables the user to “pre-shape” the sensor before
inserting it between or around conductors. This feature facilitates closing,
The AmpFlex®is lightweight and does not use magnetic cores like standard
transformers. The transformation principle is based on an air core. It presents
virtually no load to the system under test, has a low phase shift, has excellent
frequency response, and cannot be damaged by overloads.
CAT III. The AmpFlex®meets EN 61010-1, is CE marked, and is designed with
materials and components to meet international agency standards.
The AmpFlex®has an mV output proportional to the current measured for
direct readings on DMMs, data loggers, oscilloscopes, and power or harmonic
meters. TRMS measurements are taken when connected to a TRMS meter.
The AmpFlex®is insensitive to DC currents and only the AC component of the
measured signal is measured.
