IM WT1801-01EN
Valid Measurement Range (CONFIG(V)/CONFIG(A))
You can enable or disable a measurement range by selecting or clearing its check box. The WT1800 switches
between enabled measurement ranges. Disabled measurement ranges are skipped. For example, when using
auto range to measure the current of a device that produces 2 A when operating and 100 mA when in standby,
disable the 200 mA, 500 mA, and 1 A ranges. When the device is in standby, the range will be 200 mA. When
the device begins operating, the WT1800 will skip the intermediate 200 mA, 500 mA, and 1 A ranges and switch
directly to the 2 A range.
Element1 to Element6
For each input element or wiring unit, you can enable all measurement ranges at the same time (All ON).
Measurement Range Box (Left column of the list)
You can enable (All ON) or disable (All OFF) a range for all input elements at the same time.
Measurement Range in Which a Peak Over-Range Has Occurred (Peak Over Jump)
You can specify which measurement range to switch to when the auto range feature is enabled and a peak
over-range occurs. The background of the selected measurement range turns yellow. If a peak over-range
occurs when this feature is disabled, the WT1800 increases the measurement range, switching between valid
measurement ranges (measurement ranges whose check boxes have been selected).
You can specify valid current measurement ranges for each input element type.
• 50A Input Element
Select the valid direct input measurement ranges of 50 A input elements.
• 5A Input Element
Select the valid direct input measurement ranges of 5 A input elements.
• Ext Sensor Input Element (Option)
Select the valid external current sensor input measurement range.
• You cannot set all measurement ranges to OFF. There must be at least one valid range.
• The settings for the valid range and for the measurement range to switch to when peak over-range occurs
are shared by all the input elements in a wiring unit.
• When independent input element configuration is disabled and you change the wiring system, all
measurement ranges are enabled (set to their initial setting).
• When you switch independent input element configuration from on to off, all measurement ranges are
enabled (set to their initial setting).
• If you set the valid range setting for the current measurement range to OFF, the WT1800 switches to the
next highest measurement range. If there is no measurement range above the current one, the WT1800
switches to the next lowest measurement range.
