• Use suitable connection cables. Different current sensors have unique connection cables for each different precision power meter LMG. For example: the connection cable between PSU200 and LMG500 ‘PSU200-K-L50’ is neither suitable for PSU600 nor for LMG450. • To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not disassemble or attempt to repair the unit. Incorrect repair can cause risk of electrical shock or injury to persons when unit is used. For all repairs please return the devices to your distributor or to ZES ZIMMER Electronic Systems. • Do not touch energized circuits. • The power meter with its...

Advantages and disadvantages of different current sensor types This section should give you a help to choose the best sensor for your application. First of all you should know that the exactest measurement you can do is to use the direct inputs of the meter. The errors of the phase shift and the delay of the channels are optimised for a precise power measurement. If you must use an external sensor you should know the following points about the different kinds of the sensors: Precision current transducer PCT • extremely high DC accuracy, best linearity • extremely high accuracy at 50/60Hz • high...
