AC Current Clamp
Instruction Sheet
Introducing the i200/i200s
The i200 is a single range 200A clamp-on AC Current Clamp with
current output via safety shrouded banana plugs.
The i200s is a dual range 20A and 200A clamp-on AC Current
Clamp with voltage output via a safety insulated BNC connector.
A dual banana to BNC adapter is supplied to allow the i200s to be
connected to multimeters with banana input.
Unpacking
The following items should be included in your Current Clamp box:
• Current Clamp
• Dual Banana to BNC Adapter model PM9081 (only with i200s)
• Instruction Sheet (this paper)
Check the contents of the shipping box for completeness. If
something in the box has been damaged or missing, contact your
distributor or the nearest FLUKE sales or service office
immediately.
Using the Current Clamp Safely
Warning
To prevent electric shock or fire and personal injury,
carefully read all safety information before attempting
to operate the Current Clamp and follow these
procedures:
• Do not use the clamp on circuits rated higher than 600V in
Installation Category III (See "Specifications", subsection
“SAFETY”.) Use caution when clamping around uninsulated
conductors or bus bars.
• Do not use a clamp that is cracked, damaged, or has a
defective cable. Such clamps should be made inoperative by
taping the clamp shut to prevent operation.
• Check the magnetic mating surfaces of the clamp jaws; these
should be free of dust, dirt, rust, and other foreign matter.
• Keep your fingers off the clamp jaws.
• Keep your fingers behind the safety barrier as shown in
figure1.

In this Users Manual, a Warning identifies conditions and actions
that pose hazard(s) to the user. A Caution identifies conditions and
actions that may damage the current clamp. International electrical
symbols used are explained below.
