Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Hioki CT7631, CT7636, CT7642
AC/DC Current Sensor. To obtain maximum performance

from the device, please read this manual rst, and keep it

handy for future reference.

Be sure to also read the separate booklet “Current Sensor
Operating Precautions” before use.

Troubleshooting

If the device seems to be malfunctioning, contact your
authorized Hioki distributor or reseller.

Overview

This current sensor has a Hioki PL14 output connector,
enabling it to be automatically recognized when connected to
a compatible instrument for simple setup.

Measurement Methods

Inspection Before Use

Verify that the device operates normally to ensure that no

damage occurred during storage or shipping. If you nd any

damage, contact your authorized Hioki distributor or reseller.

Check Items Remedy

Is the jaw cracked or
damaged?

Is the cable insulation torn?

Is the cable broken at the
base (of the connector or
grip)?

If there is any damage, electric
shock may result. Discontinue use
and contact your authorized Hioki
distributor or reseller.

Broken connections will make
proper measurement impossible.
Discontinue use and contact your

authorized Hioki distributor or reseller.

• Attach the clamp around only one conductor. If you
clamp single-phase (2-wire) or three-phase (3-wire)
conductors together, the device will not be able to make a
measurement.

• When a conductor to be measured is clamped in the center
of the jaw, measurement is performed the most accurately,
with no effect of the conductor position.

• To measure low current levels, multiple windings may be
used to increase relative sensitivity (10 windings multiplies
the measured current by a factor of 10). However, in this
case, the windings should be made radially, with a diameter
of at least 20 cm.

• The reading may show a measurement greater than the

actual value due to magnetic-eld interference. The amount

of interference varies depending on the sensor. For details,

see “Magnetic-eld interference” in Specications.

• For more information about instrument operation and
settings, see the instrument’s instruction manual.

Connect the device to the instrument.

Conductor

Current direction indicator

Gripping the lever to open the jaw, align the current
direction indicator with the direction of the current in the
conductor, and close the jaw with the conductor roughly
centered in the jaw.
If the phase is not an issue during AC measurement,

the direction of current ow in the wire relative to the

current direction indicator may be ignored.

Close the tips of the jaw completely before performing
measurement. If the output cable is caught on the jaw or
the jaw is forced into the measurement location, it may
not close completely. If this occurs, it will not be possible
to obtain an accurate measurement.

Once measurement is complete, remove the

4

device from the conductor and disconnect it
from the instrument.

When disconnecting the device from the instrument,
grip the tip of the output connector (the part with the
arrow) and pull the connector straight out.

Pulling forcibly on the base of the connector may
damage the device.

Zero-point Temperature
Characteristics

Hall elements are subject to individual variation, and it is
not possible to specify the magnitude or tendency of that
variation. When using the sensor in an operating environment
characterized by large temperature variations, it is
recommended to observe variation in the zero-point under no­input conditions. Zero-point variation affects DC offset by not

AC mode operation. Reference examples are provided below
to illustrate zero-point variation (23°C reference) relative

to temperature variations for each sensor. (There is also a

signicant level of variation in characteristics among individual
products.) The operating temperature range is −25°C to 65°C
(−13°F to 149°F).
