MP1 - Multimeter FLUKE - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL MP1 FLUKE

The MP1 Magnet Probe (the Probe or Product) is an accessory with a magnetic tip for 4 mm safety test leads. The magnetic tip provides contact to a ferromagnetic metal surface in areas with limited access such as the carbon steel screws on RCDs or circuit breakers.

The probe fits into recessed screw holes with a diameter of ≥6 mm. The probe is CAT IV 600 V/CAT III 1000 V rated with a maximum current of 4 A.

Safety Information

A Warning identifies conditions and procedures that are dangerous to the user. A Caution identifies conditions and procedures that can cause damage to the Product or the equipment under test.

Warning

To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:

• Read all safety information before you use the Product.
• Carefully read all instructions.
• Use the Product only as specified, or the protection supplied by the Product can be compromised. Do not touch voltages >30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc.
• Comply with local and national safety codes. Use personal protective equipment (approved rubber gloves, face protection, and flame-resistant clothes) to prevent shock and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors are exposed.
• Do not use the Product around explosive gas, vapor, or in damp or wet environments.
• Limit operation to the specified measurement category, voltage, or amperage ratings.
• Do not use test leads if they are damaged. Examine the test leads for damaged insulation, exposed metal, or if the wear indicator shows. Check test lead continuity.
• Remove the test leads from the signal source before you clean.
• Use only cables with correct voltage ratings.

• Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.

• Do not exceed the Measurement Category (CAT) rating of the lowest rated individual component of a Product, probe, or accessory.
  • Do not use the Product if it is damaged.

• Do not expose the Product to temperatures ≥80°C (176°F). High temperatures cause permanent damage to the magnet.
• Make sure the magnetic force is strong enough to keep the Product in place. The Product works only on ferromagnetic material.
• In applications with low impedance between two magnet probes, do not touch the metal parts of one test lead when the other is connected to hazardous voltage.
