AC Current Clamp

Instruction Sheet

Introduction

The i800 AC Current Clamp, the Clamp, has been designed for use
with multimeters, recorders, power analyzers, safety testers, etc., for
accurate non-intrusive ac current measurement.

Using the latest transformer technology, the Clamp measures
currents from 100 mA to 800 A.

The Clamp complies with the safety standards EN61010-2-032 for
input and output circuits.

WX Warning

The Clamp may only be used and handled by qualified
personnel. To avoid electric shock or personal injury,
follow these precautions:

• Do not use the Clamp if damaged. Always

connect to display device before it is installed
around the conductor.

• If the Clamp is not used as specified by the

manual, protection provided by the Clamp may
be impaired.

• Do not clamp around a conductor before

connecting clamp output to the measuring
equipment.

• Do not disconnect the output from the measuring

equipment while the Clamp is still around a
conductor.

• Connect the Clamp output to measuring

equipment having safety receptacles.

• Do not use prior to consulting local and national

safety codes and use of protective equipment is
recommended.

• Do not hold the Clamp beyond the tactile barrier.

• Before each use, inspect the Clamp. Look for

cracks or missing portions of the housing or
output cable insulation. Also look for loose or
weakened components. Pay particular attention
to the insulation surrounding the jaws. Open and
close the Clamp, noting detent action indicating
proper mechanical operation of SIAC
circuit feature.

• 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.

• Do not use Clamp in wet environments or in

locations that hazardous gases exist.
