AC Current Clamp
Instruction Sheet
Introducing the i200/i200s
The i200 is a single range 200A clamp-on AC Current Clamp with
current output via safety shrouded banana plugs.
The i200s is a dual range 20A and 200A clamp-on AC Current
Clamp with voltage output via a safety insulated BNC connector.
A dual banana to BNC adapter is supplied to allow the i200s to be
connected to multimeters with banana input.
Unpacking
The following items should be included in your Current Clamp box:
•
Current
Clamp
•
Dual Banana to BNC Adapter model PM9081 (only with i200s)
•
Instruction Sheet (this paper)
Check the contents of the shipping box for completeness. If
something in the box has been damaged or missing, contact your
distributor or the nearest FLUKE sales or service office immediately.
Safety Information
Read First: Safety Information.
To ensure safe operation and service of the
current clamp, follow these instructions:
•
Read the operating instructions before use and follow all safety
instructions.
•
Use the Current Clamp only as specified in the operating
instructions, otherwise the clamp’s safety features may not
protect you.
•
Adhere to local and national safety codes. Individual protective
equipment must be used to prevent shock and arc blast injury
where hazardous live conductors are exposed.
•
Do not hold the Current Clamp anywhere beyond the tactile
barrier, see Figure 1.
•
Before each use, inspect the Current Clamp. Look for cracks or
missing portions of the clamp housing or output cable
insulation. Also look for loose or weakened components. Pay
particular attention to the insulation surrounding the jaws.
•
Check the magnetic mating surfaces of the clamp jaws; these
should be free of dust, dirt, rust and other foreign matter.
•
Never use the clamp on a circuit with voltages higher than 600
V CAT III.
−
CAT III equipment is designed to protect against transients
in equipment in fixed equipment installations, such as
distribution panels, feeders and short branch circuits, and
lighting systems in large buildings.
•
Use extreme caution when working around bare conductors or
bus bars. Contact with the conductor could result in electric
shock.
•
Use caution when working with voltages above 60 V dc, 30 V ac
rms or 42 V ac peak. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
