CAUTION:
 FORUSEWITHSH,SD,AH,AD,LH,LD,WHORWDCHANNELSONLY
 DONOTCONNECTWIRINGWHILEVOLTAGEPRESENT.
 ENSUREWIRINGISCORRECTBEFOREAPPLYINGVOLTAGE.
 DONOTPASSLOADCURRENT>2ArmsWITHTHEXT2640TURNEDOFF.
WIRING:
 Thickerconnectionsarecurrentcarrying.Ensurewireusedisratedforthemaximumvoltageandcurrenttobe
encountered.
 Thinnerconnectionsarenotcurrentcarrying.Ensurewireusedisratedforthemaximumvoltagetobeencountered.

Phasesareshownfordescriptivepurposes,theXT2640placesnorelianceontheactualphasinghoweverusingthose
shownensuresthattheXT2640displaymatchestheactualphasingifthechannelshaveincreasingchannelnumbersfrom
lefttorightinthediagramabove.
 Thewiringconnectionsshownaboveensurethebestoverallsystemaccuracyinmostcircumstances,measuringthe
voltageatthesourceandtheloadcurrent.Forapplicationsrequiringaccuratemeasurementsofthepowertotheloadand
usinglowvoltages(<50V)andhighcurrents(>1A)changetheREDV+terminalconnectionstothatoftherespectiveBLUE
A‐terminalinsteadoftheYELLOWA+terminalshownabove,thisensuresthatthevoltagedropacrosstheAterminalsdoes
notaffecttheVmeasurement,attheexpenseofthecurrentandpowermeasurementsincludingthecurrentandpower
drawnbytheVinput(whichmaybeadjustedforbyusingtheADJUSTsettingintheMEASCONFIGscreen).
XT2640CONFIGURATION:
 IntheXT2640MEASCONFIGmenuyoushouldsetSCALEforthechannelstoOFF.
 ForeitherconnectionmethodyoumayusetheADJUSTsettingintheMEASCONFIGmenutosettheXT2640toadjustthe
signalsfortheconnectionmethodandwhethersourceorloadresultsarerequired.
