3.8 Using a Current Sensor
103
1
Verify that the instrument’s power cord as well as the power cord for the AC adapter
that came with the 9555-10 are unplugged from their outlets.
2
Verify that the instrument and 9555-10 have been turned off.
3
Connect the AC adapter that came with the 9555-10 and then connect the power cord
to the AC adapter.
4
Connect the TYPE.2 current sensor you will use to the 9555-10’s sensor connector.
5
Connect the 9555-10’s output terminal and one of the instrument’s external current
sensor input terminals (CURRENT SENSOR) with the L9217 Connection Cord.
6
Connect the power cord to the instrument and connect the instrument and 9555-10’s
power cords to outlets.
7
Turn on the instrument and verify that the display shows the Measurement screen.
8
Turn on the 9555-10 and verify that the current monitor lights up.
Pass the AC adapter cord through
the locking clamp to keep it from
being pulled out.

• If using the 9277, 9278, or 9279 Universal Clamp on CT, press the 9555-10’s DEMAG switch to perform
degaussing operation.
• When using the CT6841/CT6843 AC/DC Current Probe, perform zero-adjustment for the current sensor.
1. Set the instrument to the 1 A range noted on the panel.
2. Set the display parameter to A and the rectifier to DC.
3. Turn the zero-adjustment knob (0ADJ) on the CT6841/CT6843 so that the display reads 0 A.
• When using the CT6841/CT6843, the following is added to the current sensor accuracy (by performing the
above zero-adjustment procedure):
CT6841: ±20 mA
CT6843: ±200 mA
