In cases where the maximum current of the object under measurement exceeds 20A,
measurement becomes possible by connecting an external sensor. The range for external sensor
input is either 2.5/5/10V or 50/100/200mV. Either range is available as an option.
In the following wiring diagrams, the external shunt is grounded. When using the clamp sensor,
replace the shunt with the clamp sensor.
Note
• When using the external sensor or the clamp sensor, take care not to reverse the polarity when applying
the clamp to the measurement circuit.
• Using the scaling function enables direct reading of measured values on the display. Refer to section 4.5
on page 4-8.
