For GL100
Adapter for AC Current Sensor
USER’S MANUAL
Thank you very much for buying this GRAPHTEC product.
This module can be used as a measurement adapter (hereafter
“module”) that connects to the GL100-N/GL100-WL.
These directions describe preparations and cautions before
measurement.
To ensure safety, please read the operation instructions, etc.
For details on the warnings and how to handle this module, please
read the Quick Start Guide or USER'S MANUAL included on the
CD-ROM (included in the GL100 packaging)
Confirmation of the exterior

< Extension cable >
The module can be used approx. 1.5 m away from the GL100 by using an
extension cable for GS (GS-EXC). However, you cannot connect and use multiple
extension cables.
Used to mount to a wall.
Terminal that connects to the AC Current
Sensor (sold separately).
Used to connect to the connector on the
GL100 module.
This packing is used when connecting the connector.
2 How To Connect
1. Connect the AC Current Sensor (GS-AC**A, sold separately)
to the module.
Connecting
Disconnecting : Pull the connector out while pressing down on the lock on
2. How to measure with AC Current Sensor
Remove the AC Current Sensor’s lock, insert the measurement cable and
push it in until it locks (putting the cable in the wrong way will cause the
module to measure incorrectly).
Clamp ch1 or ch2 to L-phase when using single-phase 2-wire.
Clamp ch1 and ch2 to R-phase and S-phase respectively when using
single-phase 3-wire.
Clamp ch1 and ch2 to R-phase and T-phase respectively when using
3-phase 3-wire.

How To Measure
1. Power supply
(Refer to Quick Start Guide or USER’S MANUAL.)
Connect this module while power is being supplied to the GL100 by a battery
or USB cable.
2. Start-up and operation
(1) Screen display menu flow
After power-on, the GL100 is ready for operation by holding down [MENU] key.
When the module is connected, “Module Type Recognition” screen is displayed.
When the module is not connected, “Module Unconnected State” screen is
displayed.
Operate in accordance with the displayed instructions.
(2) Free-running screen
: Push the connector in until it locks in.
the bottom with your finger.
Connector cable
The connector is exclusively to be used to connect the AC
Current Sensor. Do not connect it to voltages, other electrical
currents, etc. It will damage the module.
Pulling the AC Current Sensor’s cable and holding the sensor by
the cable will damage the cable’s wires.
