3. Instructions for commissioning the device
Caution!
Take measurements on circuits with high voltages with extreme
caution and only in accordance with the relevant safety regulations.
Always switch off the unit after finishing the measuring operation.
4. Operation of the current clamp
The Flexible Current Clamp P 4205 has been designed to enable the
user to operate the unit easily and intuitively.
To measure currents with the current clamp, a multimeter or a
measuring device that can measure AC voltages is required. The
current clamp is connected to a multimeter via the 4 mm sockets
located at the end of the permanently installed cable.
To measure the current of the current-carrying line to be measured,
open the latch of the current clamp. Insert the cable into the opening
and close the current clamp again by inserting the flexible end of the
current clamp into the lock and then closing the lock again (make
sure that the cable to be measured is in the middle of the current
clamp). Connect the current clamp to a multimeter. Now select the
appropriate range for the expected current level. After successfully
connecting the current clamp to a multimeter, you can now switch on
the current clamp and start the measurement. After the
measurement, make sure that the current clamp is switched off first
before disconnecting it from the multimeter.
Note: If the range of the current to be measured is not known, switch the
range selector switch of the current clamp to the largest measuring
range first. It is possible to switch to a smaller measuring range
during the measurement.
