Fluke i6000s Operating Manual

i6000s Flex

AC Current Probe

Instruction Sheet

Introduction

The i6000s 24 Flex and i6000s 36 Flex AC Current Probes (the Probe) are used with oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, recorders or data loggers. The Probes can be used to measure AC current up to 6000 A. The flexible measuring head allows current measurements on conductors that are hard to reach or inaccessible using typical clamp-on current probes.

The Probes provide a low-voltage (3 V ac) output that is proportional to the current being measured. The Probes provide full-scale direct readings for 60 A, 600 A, and 6000 A.

Safety Instructions

A Warning identifies conditions and procedures that are dangerous to the user. A Caution identifies conditions and procedures that can cause damage to the Product or the equipment under test.

 Warning

To prevent electric shock or personal injury:

• If the Probes are used in a manner not specified in these operating instructions, protection provided by the Probes may be impaired.

• Use the Probes only if qualified.

• Use caution during installation and use of the

Probes; high voltages and currents may be present in circuit under test.

• Have maintenance performed by only qualified service personnel.

• Protect the Probes against water and humidity.

PN 2842359 June 2007, Rev. 1, 4/17

• Wear protective clothing and gloves as required.

• Do not install this product on live conductors. Always de-energize the circuit under test before installing the flexible measuring head.

• Always inspect the electronics unit, connecting cable, and flexible measuring head for damage before using the Probe.

• Do not use the Probe if damaged.

• Always connect Probe to display device

before installing the flexible measuring head.

• Never change batteries while measurement head is installed on conductor.

• Use only the provided original or specified accessories.

• 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.

• CAT III equipment is designed to protect against the transients in the equipment in fixed equipment installations, such as distribution panels, feeders and short branch circuits, and the lighting systems in large buildings.
