Hardware Installation 

 
The  MCTS  is  delivered  with  rack mounting  brackets  for  the  easy  installation  into  a  19"  cabinet.  The  mounting 
brackets can be installed easily with four screws on the left and right side panel. The 19" rack mounting brackets 
and the screws are delivered with the system. 
 

 

 

 

 
 
3.1.  Connection of the current sensor to the MCTS rack 
 

 

The current transducer will be connected to the MCTS rack with 
the delivered D-SUB current transducer connection cable. 

 
 
3.2.  Connection of the current output to an instrument current input terminal 
 

 

The  transducer  output  current  can  be  directly  connected  to  the 
current input terminals of a current or a power meter. 

 
 
3.3 .  Connection of the optional voltage output to an instrument voltage input terminal 
 

 

Before you connect the current output to the voltage input terminal 
of a voltage meter or the sensor input terminal of a power meter 
you have to transfer the output current into a voltage signal. For 
this purpose, passive plug-on burden resistors and active plug-on 
output voltage amplifiers are available.
