Current Transformer Input

98 _ _ - _ 4 _ _ - _ _ _ _

The current transformer must be purchased separately. Watlow current
transformer part number is 16-0246 (up to 50 amps)..

Systems that use more than 50 Amps need an interstage transformer.
For example, if you use a 300A current transformer, part #16-0073, and
an interstage transformer, part #16-0176, the 300A current transformer
provides a 5A signal to the interstage transformer. In turn, the transformer
sends a 20mA maximum signal to the controller.

NOTE:
A process output
cannot be installed
on output 1 when
using a current
transformer input.

NOTE:
Successful installa-
tion requires five
steps:
• Model number and
software choice
(Appendix);
• DIP switch set-
tings (Chapter 1);
• Sensor match
(Chapter 2 and
Appendix);
• Sensor installation
(Chapter 2); and
• Wiring (Chapter 2).
