Functional Description - Metrix HX0034B Manual De Instrucciones

1. General
The HX0034B accessory is a current clamp for oscilloscopes using a
Hall-effect cell to measure DC or AC currents up to 80 A peak, without
any intervention on the electrical installation. This clamp, which is a
voltage output transducer, is a PLUG and PLAY device used as an
accessory for the Scopix portable oscilloscopes. Its internal electronics is
supplied by the oscilloscope, via the power supply cord. The measurement
output is totally insulated.
2. Safety
Never perform measurements on conductors with a potential greater
than 600 V in relation to the earth. This clamp is protected by double
insulation or reinforced insulation. It does not have to be connected to the
earth protection terminal for electrical safety. This clamp is designed for
indoor use at an altitude < 2,000 m in an environment with pollution level
2. This clamp can be used for measurements on Cat. II installations up to
600 V and on Cat. III installations up to 300 V. Do not use this clamp on
conductors carrying high-frequency currents greater than 4 A rms @ 1 MHz
: risk of burning and deformation of the clamp jaws. The protection ensured
by this clamp can be compromised if it is used in a way which is not
specified.
