Model MN106

User Manual

DESCRIPTION

The Model MN106 (Catalog #1031.17) is a high accuracy voltage output current probes for tight
areas such as crowded wiring. It extends DMM AC measurements to 150A AC. The Model MN106
offers a 5ft lead with safety 4mm banana plug.

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: Potentially 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 600V. Use extreme caution
when clamping around bare conductors or bus bars.

INTERNATIONAL ELECTRICAL SYMBOLS
