Explanation
External Current Sensor
The output of current sensors that produce voltage, such as shunts and clamps, can be applied to an
element’s external current sensor input terminal (EXT) and measured. Set the scaling constant and
the measurement range according to the external sensor’s conversion ratio before using the external
sensor for measurement.
Note
When using a current sensor that produces current, set the conversion ratio as the CT ratio.
External Current Sensor Scaling Constant

A flows through it. Set the scaling constant to the conversion ratio.
Determining the Scaling Constant
Forexample,ifyouusetheYokogawa96030Clamp-onProbe,theconversionratiois2.5mV/A,
sowhen1Aofcurrentflowsthroughtheprobe,thecurrentsensoroutputis2.5mV.Setthescaling
constantto2.500.
Inthesamemanner,whenyouusethe96031,theconversionratiois1mV/A,sosetthescaling
constant to 1.000.
Whenyouusethe96001,theconversionratiois10mV/A,sosetthescalingconstantto10.00.
Note
The method of computing the scaling constant will be different if you use this instrument and an external
current sensor to replace the WT110, WT110E, WT130, WT200, WT210, or WT230, so you may have to
change the scaling constant. Set the scaling constant to the correct value in accordance with the above
explanation.
Setting All the Values or Individual Values (WT332E/WT333E)
On the WT332E/WT333E0, you can set the method for setting the scaling constant to ALL or EACH. The
default setting is ALL. The setting method selection menu will not appear on the WT310E or WT310EH.
