3.7.2 Connecting a Clamp-on Sensor
The current input terminal of channel 4 can be used in the following
two ways.
• Measuring current on the neutral or ground line in the same sys-
tem
• Measuring line current in a separate system
When disconnecting the BNC connector, be sure to release the
lock before pulling the connectors apart. Forcibly pulling the con-
nector without releasing the lock, or pulling on the cable, can
damage the connector.

1. At each end of the cable, apply the
labels having the same color as the
current input terminal to which it is
to be connected.
2. Align the slots in the BNC plug with
the guide pins on the connector at
the instrument side, then push and
turn the plug clockwise.
(to unplug the connector, push the
plug and turn it counterclockwise
before pulling it apart.)
