HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
logger or data node
DANGER
1. Insert the 2.5 mm plug of the CTV into an external input (black 2.5 mm jack) of a logger
or node.
2. To start a logger, select Launch from the Device menu in HOBOware®. To start a data
node, use HOBOnode Manager within HOBOware. See the HOBOware Help for more
details.
3. For a logger, select the appropriate channel in the Launch Logger window. For ZW data
nodes, select the sensor type (-A, -B, etc.) in the Configure Sensor pane that matches
the Current Transformer model number.
4. For a logger or data node, select the correct AC current range, which is provided on the
CTV label. Failure to select the correct range will result in inaccurate data. Do not
exceed the AC current rating of the CTV.
Installation
• The I-bar can be hinged open in order to install the CTV around an individual wire
carrying a single phase. Rotate the I-bar open (on the CTV-D and -E units, press in the
I-bar tabs to open). Place the wire in the CTV window and then snap the I-bar closed.
• The I-bar on the CTV-D and CTV-E units is fully removable for easy installation. Make
sure the I-bar is replaced in the proper orientation to ensure correct readings. The
contacts on the unit and I-bar are marked with matching notations.
• The CTV-A, -B, and -C units are provided with a snap-on mounting plate which can be
removed from the CTV and mounted separately. Mount the plate under the wire you
want to monitor and, once the cable is installed into the CTV, snap the CTV/wire
assembly onto the mounting plate.
• Remove the CTV from the plate by opening the CTV and sliding it off the plate or
gently rocking the CTV slightly and pulling up at the same time.
