DESCRIPTION

The SR600 (Cat. #2113. 42) is designe d for use i n indust rial envi ro nments . The erg onom ic desig n allo ws it to
easily attach to cables or sm all bus ba rs . The “c ircul ar” j aws gua rante e a v er y good a ccurac y an d low phas e
shift. The probe has a mea surement range up to 1000 Arms. con tinuous and is compatible with a ny AC
ammeter, multim eter, or other c urrent measu rement instrum ent with an in put impedance lower than 5Ω. To
achieve the stated accuracy, use the SR600 with an ammeter having an accuracy of 0.75% or better.

WARNING

The safety warnings are provided to ensure the safety of personnel and proper operation of the
instrument. Read the instruction completely.

• Use caution on any circ uit: potentially high voltag es and currents may be prese nt and may pose a
shock hazard.

• Do not use the probe if dama ged. Al ways co nnect th e cur rent pr obe to the m easuri ng devi ce bef ore it

• Do not use on non-insulated c onduct or with a potential to gr ound gr eater tha n 600V C AT III pollutio n

2. Use extreme caution when clamping around bare conductors or bus bars.

• Before each use, inspect the probe; look for cracks in housing or output cable insulation.

• Do not use clamp in wet environment or in locations that hazardous gases exist.

• Do not use the probe anywhere be yond the tactile barrier.

INTERNATIONAL ELECTRICAL SYMBOLS

This symbol signifi es t hat the c urre nt prob e is p rotect ed b y doubl e or rei nforc ed ins ulati on. Use onl y
factory specified replacement parts when servicing the instrument.

This symbol signifies CAUTION! and requests that the user refer to the user manual before using
the instrument.

This is a type A current sensor. This symbol signifies that application around and removal from
HAZARDOUS LIVE conductors is permitted.

DEFINITION OF MEASUREMENT CATEGORIES
CAT II: For measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the electrical distribution system.

Examples are measurements on household appliances or portable tools.

CAT III: For measurements performed in the building installation at the distribution level such as on

hardwired equipment in fixed installation and circuit breakers.

CAT IV: For measurements performed at the primary electrical supply (<1000V) such as on primary

overcurrent protection devices, ripple control units, or meters.

RECEIVING YOUR SHIPMENT

Upon receiving yo ur shipm ent, mak e sure that the c ontent s are co nsistent with th e pack ing list. Notify your
distributor of an y missing i tems. If th e equi pment ap pears to b e damag ed, file a c laim im mediatel y with t he
carrier and notify your distributor at once, giving a detailed description of any damage.
