To install the R
ō
Coil CT to the conductor(s):
1) Open the CT by squeezing the connector latch and
pulling it apart.
2) Connect the CT around the load conductor to be
measured. Orient the CT so that the arrow on the CT
case points towards the load. Make sure the maximum
current of the conductor does not exceed 5,000 amps.
3) Push the connector back together with the conductor
within the loop of the CT.
Repeat the above three steps if you are using more than
one R
ō
Coil CT.
To connect the CTs wires to the terminals on the
PowerScout
:
1) Connect the CTs brown wire to the negative terminal on the
connector. See photo.
2) Connect the CTs white wire to the positive terminal on the
connector.
3) Connect the bare shield wire from the R
ō
Coil to the “S”
shield terminal that is part of the connector. This reduces
interference and improves accuracy of the CT.

Correct orientation of a CT is
required to ensure proper measurement. If an
arrow is shown on the CT label, it should be
pointed toward the load. Otherwise, use the
instructions printed on the CT.
