Connecting the Current Sensors (Current Input)
Probe 1 terminal
Terminal for high-performance current sensors.
Connect an optional current sensor. The instrument
automatically recognizes the current sensor.
It also supplies power to the current sensor.
Probe 2 terminal
Terminal for current sensors.
Connect a sensor of the voltage output type, including a
current probe and CT.
For detailed specications and instructions for the current sensors being used, refer to the
instruction manual that came with the current sensors.

How to plug the connector
IMPORTANT
The current sensor connected to the Probe 1 terminal is automatically recognized. However,
when the CT6846 or CT6865 is connected via the CT9900 Conversion Cable, the sensor is
recognized as a 500 A AC/DC sensor. Set the CT ratio to 2.00 in such a case.
See “Scaling (when using VTs [PTs] or CTs)” (p. 63).
When the connector is metallic
Current sensors including the 9709-05, the CT6860-05 series, and the CT6840-05 series can be
connected to the Probe 1 terminal directly.
The current sensors with the sub number -05 in their product name have a metallic connector.
Hold the connector
with its broader part
facing upward.
