The Models SR651/SR652 (Catalog #2113.45 and #2113.46) are designed for use in industrial
environments. The ergonomic design allows them to easily attach to cables or small bus bars. The “circular”
jaws guarantee a very good accuracy and low phase shift. The probes have a measurement range up to
1000Arms continuous and are compatible with any AC voltmeter, multimeter, or other voltage measurement
instrument that has the following features: Range and resolution capable of displaying 1mV of output per
amp of measured current; voltmeter 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 circuit: potentially high voltages and currents may be present and may pose a
shock hazard.
• Do not use the probe if damaged. Always connect the current probe to the measuring device before it
is connected around the conductor
• Do not use on non-insulated conductor with a potential to ground greater than 600V CAT III pollution
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 beyond the tactile barrier.
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.
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 IV: For measurements performed at the primary electrical supply (<1000V) such as on primary
overcurrent protection devices, ripple control units, or meters.
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 II: For measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the electrical distribution system.
Examples are measurements on household appliances or portable tools.

Making Measurements with the AC Current Probe Model SR651/SR652
Connect the black lead of the current probe to “Common” and the red lead to the AC voltage input on
your DMM or other voltage-measuring instrument. The AC current probe has a ratio of 1000:1. This
means that for 1000A AC in a conductor around which the probe is clamped, 1V AC will come out of the
probe leads to your DMM or instrument. The output is 1mVAC/AAC. Select the range which corresponds
to the measured current. If the current magnitude is unknown, start with the highest range and work
down until the appropriate range and resolution are reached. Clamp the probe around the conductor.
Take the reading on the meter and multiply it by 1000 to obtain the measured current (e.g, 260mV
reading = 260 x 1000 = 260,000mA or 260A).
For best accuracy, avoid if possible, the proximity of other conductors which may create noise.
Tips for Making Precise Measurements
When using a current probe with a meter, it is important to select the range that provides the best
resolution. Failure to do this may result in measurement errors.
Make sure that probe jaw mating surfaces are free of dust and contamination. Contaminants cause air
gaps between the jaws, increasing the phase shift between primary and secondary. It is very critical for
power measurement.
MAINTENANCE
Warning:
For maintenance use only original replacement parts.
To avoid electrical shock, do not attempt to perform any servicing unless you are qualified to do so.
To avoid electrical shock and/or damage to the instrument, do not get water or other foreign agents
into the probe.
Cleaning: To ensure optimum performance, it is important to keep the probe jaw mating surfaces clean at all
times. Failure to do so may result in error in readings. To clean the probe jaws, use very fine sand paper (fine
600) to avoid scratching the jaw then gently clean with a soft oiled cloth.
