Agilent U1583B Current Clamp
Operating Instructions
The U1583B current clamp is a dual range 40 A and 400 A clamp-on AC current clamp. This U1583B current
clamp is designed for Agilent handheld digital multimeter (DMM) and Agilent handheld oscilloscope.
A BNC-to-banana plug is required to connect the current clamp with the DMM. For the handheld
oscilloscope, use a BNC connector to connect the clamp..

To be applied around or removed from
un-insulated hazardous live conductors

- Do not use the adapter if it is damaged. Inspect the case before you use the adapter.
Look for cracks or missing plastic. Pay particular attention to the insulation
surrounding the connectors.
- Inspect the clamp jaw before each use. It shall not have cracks or missing parts, or
loose or weakened components. Be sure there is insulation surrounding the jaw.
- Inspect the output cable without exposing the metal to ensure insulation.
- Do not operate the adapter around explosive gas, vapor, or dust.
- Do not exceed the rated voltage/current as marked on the adapter.
- Use with extreme caution when working around bare conductors or bus bars.
Accidental contact with the conductors could result in electric shock.
- Always keep your hand behind the finger guard of the clamp jaw.
- When servicing the adapter, use only specified replacement parts.
- Use with caution when working above 30 V ac rms, 42 V peak, or 60 V dc. These
voltages pose a shock hazard.
- Avoid working alone.
- Do not operate the adapter if the cover is removed or loosened.
- Use individual protective equipment if working in installations with accessible
hazardous live parts.
- If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired

- Do not connect to the BNC output or the banana plug to any power sources.
- Use the proper terminals, function, and range for your measurements.
