First Installation
- Remove the 3 screws in the back of the device
- Connect a new 9V battery and place in its compartment
- Close the device back cover
Usage Notes
To increase the sensitivity and measure low currents you may create a wire winding with several coils that will increase the magnetic flux in the sensor.
- 2 turns: range 300A, signal output: 2mV/1A
- 10 turns: range 60A, signal output: 10mV/1A
- Use specific HScope probe or,
- Use 2kHz low-pass software filter for having clean waveforms with max bandwidth.
- 2024 Version: use 8kHz low-pass software filter for having clean waveforms with max bandwidth.
Original vs MartinLoren 2024 Version
This amp clamp is a modified version of the original. This version provides:
- BNC connection for oscilloscopes
- Lower noise
