AC Current Probe
Model JM810A
User Manual
DESCRIPTION
The JM810A (Catalog #2110.80) is designed for use in industrial environments. The
“squared” jaws permit multiple conductor or bus bar positioning. The current output makes
it the perfect tool for measurement with DMMs, recorders, and power and harmonic meters.
The Model JM810A is compatible with any AC ammeter, multimeter, or other current
measuring instrument with an input impedance lower than 1 Ω. To achieve the stated
accuracy, use the JM810A with the DMM having an accuracy of 0.75%.
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 Specifications 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.
INTERNATIONAL ELECTRICAL SYMBOLS
This symbol signifies that the current probe is protected by double or reinforced
insulation. Use only factory-specified replacement parts when servicing the
instrument.
Thi
s symbol signifies CAUTION! and requests that the user refer to the user manual
before using the instrument.
This symbol signifies that this is a type A current sensor and that application near and
removal from HAZARDOUS LIVE conductors is permitted.
DEFINITION OF MEASUREMENT CATEGORIES
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 fixed installation or circuit breakers.
CAT II:
For measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the electrical
distribution system, such as household appliances or portable tools.
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 appears to be damaged,
