AC Current Probe
Model MD304
User Manual
DESCRIPTION
The Model MD304 (Catalog #1201.37) is designed for use in industrial environments. The
hook-shaped jaws enable the user to “pry” into or “hook” onto cables (will accept 2 x 500 MCM)
or even smaller bus bars. The current output up to 500 Arms continuous makes it the perfect
tool for measurement with DMMs, recorders or instruments with current ranges. The Model

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; high voltages and currents may be present and may pose a shock hazard.
•
voltage ratings given.
• Safety is the respondibility 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.

Making Measurements with the AC Current Probe Model MD304
• Connect the black and red terminals to the Ampere AC range of your DMM or current
measuring instrument. Select the appropriate current range (10 AAC range). Clamp the
probe around the conductor to be tested with the arrow pointed toward the load. Read the
AC)
• 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
MAINTENANCE
Warning
• For maintenance, use only original replacement parts.
• To avoid electrical shock, do not attempt to perform any service on the device unless you
• To avoid electrical shock and/or damage to the instrument, do not allow water or other
foreign agents to come into contact with the probe.
Cleaning
To ensure optimum performance, it is important to keep the probe jaw mating surfaces clean at
