Current Monitor Installation
Wireless Current Monitors are connected using the specified wiring harness assemblies that
are terminated with polarized locking connectors. Modules can share a single power supply
which can be daisy chained to other modules. The current monitoring system consists of:
1) DC input power supply
2) Module interconnect harnesses to distribute power between modules
3) Monitoring Modules (either with an integrated CT or remote CT)
4) External CT and External CT harnesses (when using external CTs)
Current Transducer Placement and Orientation: It is critical to correctly orientate the
direction of the current transducer in relation to the conductor to avoid getting negative
power readings. When using the models with an integrated current transducer, follow the
directions below. For models with an external current transducer, consult the CT
specification sheet for the correct orientation.
