AMETEK CTs NetWave
Sense function
The sense function allows to compensate a voltage drop in the cabling from the NetWave to the EUT. The
sense input (one per phase) is available on the Sense connector on the power panel (see chapter ).
There are two operating modes:
Internal the sense input is inactive and the NetWave senses internally. No voltage drop in the cabling is
compensated.
External the sense input is active. All inputs must be connected to the desired sense point (i.e. input
connectors of the EUT).
Furthermore, the compensation can be set:
Off no compensation
On 5/10/15% a voltage drop up to maximum 5/10/15% is compensated
On Auto Auto compensation setting means 15% for mainline less than 100V and 5% for greater than
100V.
Mode of value setting
The user has a choice of two modes for edit values for voltage and frequency parameters.
The “normal” mode is the usual one, and is done in two steps:
- First step to setup the integer part
- Second step to setup the fractional part.
The “all step editors” mode selects each digit from left to right and the value is parsed sequentially.
Toggle between the two edit modes with the button MODE
“Normal” Mode
230.00V→SETUP→230.00V→SETUP→next value to setup
Available keys:
STOP: Ends the edition, discarding any changes
LEFT: Decrease the value with acceleration
RIGHT: Increase the value with acceleration
SETUP: Move from integer part to fractional part and then validate the setting
MODE: Change edition mode to “All Step Edition”
Note: In this mode, when you are setting the integer part, the fractional is set to zero.
“All Step Edition” Mode
230.00V→SETUP→230.00V→SETUP→230.00V→SETUP→230.00V→SETUP→230.00V→SETUP→next
value to setup
Available keys:
STOP: Ends the edition, discarding any changes
LEFT: Decrease the value with acceleration
RIGHT: Increase the value with acceleration
SETUP: Move the edited digit step by step from the left to right position / validate the setting
MODE: Change edition mode to “Normal”
Note: in this mode, any acceleration on LEFT or RIGHT key is disabled.
Remark Make sure the sense lines are connected to the correct
phase. Otherwise the NetWave will not function properly.
Remark Use shielded cables to block external noise from
coupling on to the sense lines
Remark The NetWave tries to compensate up to the given
setting, but there is no warning if compensation cannot
be achieved.
