Safety Precautions
This product is designed to be used by a person with specialized knowledge.
Make sure to observe the following safety precautions when handling the probe. YOKOGAWA
assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these safety precautions. Before you
use the probe, read the measuring instrument’s manual to thoroughly familiarize yourself with the
specifications and operations of the measuring instrument.
This manual is an essential part of the product; keep it in a safe place for future reference.
The following safety markings are used in this manual.
This instrument is protected by double-layer insulation or reinforced insulation that has the same level
of protection as double-layer insulation. It is not necessary to connect the instrument to protective
ground for safe use.
Improper handling or use can lead to injury to the user or damage to the instrument.
This
symbol appears on the instrument to indicate that the user must refer to the user’s manual for
special instructions. The same symbol appears in the corresponding place in the user’s manual
to identify those instructions. In the manual, the symbol is used in conjunction with the word
“WARNING” or “CAUTION.”
WARNING
Describes precautions that should be observed to prevent serious injury or death to the user.
CAUTION
Describes precautions that should be observed to prevent minor or moderate injury, or damage
to the instrument.
Note
Provides important information for the proper operation of the instrument.
WARNING
• Do not exceed the maximum current. Doing so can result in erroneous measurement
or damage to the instrument.
• Beware of electric shock.
• Do not exceed 600 V, and do not use with a non-isolated conductor with a surge
exceeding measurement category III. Be sure to check the electric potential and
voltage surge before measurement.
• Do not perform measurement if the instrument is damaged.
• Always use the instrument indoors. Do not use the instrument in a rainy or humid
environment, or if water droplets form on its surface. Also, do not operate with wet
hands. Condensation may appear if sudden changes in temperature occur. If this
happens, let the device acclimatize to the new temperatures for at least one hour, then
refrain from using the device until confirming that there is no condensation.
• Always operate the instrument in the environmental conditions described in this manual.
• Always keep the clamp lever clean.
• Do not disassemble the device
The device should be disassembled by qualified personnel only.

WARNING
Keep your fingers and hands behind the barrier.
CAUTION
Ensure that the current flowing through the conductor being measured is within the
current range. If the current range is exceeded, the device may overheat and become
damaged.
Operating Procedure
1. Enter the appropriate settings on the measuring instrument being used to accommodate the
output from the probe.
2. Connect measuring leads (758917, sold separately) to the probe's output terminals and the
measuring instrument. The connection method differs depending on the measuring instrument
being used. See your instrument's user's manual for the procedure. If the connector on the
measuring leads cannot be connected to the input terminals on the measuring instrument, use
a fork terminal (758921: sold separately) or other adapter.
Example
• For a digital power meter, connect a lead from the red output terminal (+) to
the current input I terminal, and from the black output terminal (-) to the current
± terminal.
• For a digital multimeter, connect a lead from the red output terminal (+) to the
A terminal, and from the black output terminal (-) to the Lo terminal.
3. Squeeze the jaws to open the clamps, then position the conductor inside the feed-through
hole. Hold the probe so that the conductor is as closely in the center of the feed through hole
as possible.
4. Release the clamp lever to close the clamps. Steps 3 and 4 is called clamping.
5. Read the measured values on the measuring instrument. Calculate the current flowing
through the conductor using an input/output ratio of 1000:1.
Example: Given that 150.0 mA is flowing from the probe's output terminal,
current = 150.0 mA × 1000 = 150.0 A.
Note
• Close the clamp completely before taking measurements. Errors can occur If any foreign
objects or particles become trapped between the jaws.
• Only perform measurements on conductors in which the current is flowing in only one
direction. The device cannot correctly measure earth-shielded conductors or parallel
conductors with current flowing in both directions.
• To reduce errors, use a measuring instrument with an internal impedance less than or equal to 1Ω.
• If DC current is superimposed on an AC current being measured, the output signal from the
clamp will become distorted and measurements will be inaccurate.
• When measuring phase difference in voltage and current using an instrument such as a digital
power meter, make sure that the current flows in the same direction as the arrows on the probe.
The phase difference can be correctly measured by positioning the clamp so that current flows
from the front side (name plate) to the reverse side (in the direction shown by the arrows on the jaws).
• Avoid locations with extremely strong external magnetic fields (other than the conductor
under test) as they may cause measurement errors.
