How To Use; Switching On; Adjusting Dc Zero Current; Measurement - PCE CHAUVIN ARNOUX K 1 Manual De Instrucciones

!
Do not use the K1 and K2 current probes on cables or conductors at a potential
in relation to the earth , greater than 300 V.

3.1. SWITCHING ON

Put the sliding switch
the K2). Correct operation is shown by the green "ON" light
condition. If this indicator does not light, or goes out, it is necessary to change the battery
(see Ch. 5.1).
3.2. ADJUST ZERO DC
Ensure that the jaws of the clamp are correctly closed and they do not enclose any
conductor.
Plug the output connectors
instrument. Switch on the probe (see Ch. 3.1).
Select the most sensitive voltage range of your measurement instrument.
Press the DC zero thumbwheel
display.

3.3. MEASUREMENT

After having switched on the probe :
Connect the measurement instrument with the appropriate voltage range and adjust
zero DC (refer to Ch.3.1. and 3.2. above).
Enclose the conductor to measure between the jaws
is displayed directly on the associated instrument as a function of the input/output ratio
of the probe.
To obtain the value of the current in the cable, apply to the value measured, the
appropriate conversion ratio, as a function of the voltage range selected on the
measurement instrument and the sensitivity of the clamp.

3.4. OVERLOAD INDICATION

The detection of overload or overrange of the range of the probe, is signalled by the red
coloured "OL" indicator
the K1 and 450 mA for the K2.

3. HOW TO USE

to the appropriate position (1 mV/mA for the K1 and 10 mV/mA for
of the adapter case of the probe into your measurement
and at the same time rotate it to obtain zero on the
. This indicator lights up for a peak current greater than 4.5 A for
14
which indicates good battery
of the clamp. The value measured
