Precautions for Safe Use of the Instrument
Strictly observe the following cautionary notes in order to avoid the risk of injury or death of personnel or damage to the instrument due to such hazards as electrical shock.
WARNING
●Removal of Case from the Instrument
•Do not remove the case from the instrument or disassemble/modify the instrument itself.
•Some parts of the inside of the instrument contain high-voltage and, therefore, access to the internal assembly is extremely hazardous. For inspection and/or adjustment of the internal assembly, contact the vendor from which you purchased the instrument.
●Use of the Instrument in a Gas Atmosphere
Do not operate the instrument in a location where any flammable or explosive gas/vapor is present. It is extremely hazardous to operate the instrument in such an atmosphere.
●Inspection of Power Source
•Before turning on the instrument, always make sure the voltage of the power source to be applied matches the instrument’s supply voltage.
•When using alkaline batteries or an NiMH battery pack, carefully read the cautionary notes on battery handling later in this manual.
●Use of Clamp-on Current Probes
•When using clamp-on current probes, keep the circuit voltage below 600 V AC in order to avoid possible short-circuits or accidents resulting in injury or death.
•Avoid using the instrument if it has been exposed to rain or moisture or if your hands are wet.
•Do not use clamp-on current probes with any non-insulated conductors.
●Measures In Case of Anomalies
If the instrument begins to emit smoke, becomes too hot, or gives off an unusual smell, immediately turn it off and disconnect the power cord from the outlet. Also turn off power to the object under measurement that is connected to the instrument’s input terminals. Never attempt to use the instrument again. If any such anomalies as noted above occurs, contact the vendor from which you purchased the instrument. Do not attempt to repair the instrument yourself, as doing so is extremely dangerous.
●Handling of Power Cords
Do not place any load on the power cord or allow the power cord to come into accidental contact with any heat source. Hold the plug of the power cord, rather than holding and pulling the cord itself, when disconnecting it from the outlet. If the power cord is damaged, contact the vendor from which you purchased the instrument. See page 2 for information on the AC adapter that is necessary when ordering a replacement power cord.

•Harmonics Measure mode (logging)
● Efficient Measurement using the Wh Key
This feature simplifies operations required for the Electric Energy Measure mode most often used.
● Supports a variety of wiring methods.
•Supports single-phase two-wire systems, single-phase three-wire systems, three-phase three-wire two-current systems, three-phase three-wire threecurrent systems, and three-phase four-wire systems.
•Supports dual-load systems in a single-phase two-wire, single-phase threewire, or three-phase three-wire configuration (except when in the Harmonics
Measure mode).
● Data Management
•Measured values or measurement settings can be stored in internal memory or on a 3.5-inch floppy disk inserted in an optional floppy drive attached externally to the CW140.
•Allows simultaneous data saving to internal memory and a floppy disk, or copying internal memory data to a floppy disk.
•An optional printer connected externally to the CW140 allows you to print
measured values or measurement settings.
● Communication
With an RS-232-C interface, it is possible to transfer data to or receive measurement settings from a personal computer. The CW140 stores measurement data in CSV format, facilitating data processing (such as creating graphs) using commercial spreadsheet software.
● Setting Operations
•Easy-to-operate Display Screen
You can easily change settings by selecting items highlighted on the screen using Range keys, Cursor key, and function keys.

2.3Connecting Input Signal Lines to Be Measured and External Input Terminals
●Connection of Input Signal Lines to Be Measured and External Input Terminals (Example)
Ring marker
Current clamp
Voltage probe (red/yellow/blue)
Voltage probe (black)
WARNING
•Thoroughly read Section 3.3, "Precautions for Wiring the Circuit Under Test."
•When wiring the CW140, turn off the circuit under test.
It is extremely dangerous to connect or disconnect measuring lead wires without turning off the circuit under test.
•Be extremely careful not to connect any voltage-mode circuit to the current input terminals or any current-mode circuit to the voltage input terminals. Miswiring can result in not only damage to the circuit or equipment under test but also an injury to personnel.
•The CW140 can be connect to a maximum of four voltage input probes or four current-sensing clamps. Do not connect any probe or clamp that is not necessary for measurement.
•Do not use any other probes or current-sensing clamps than those supplied with the CW140.
•Before connecting a current-sensing clamp to the CW140, make sure the H and L polarities are correctly identified.
●Differentiating among Voltage Input Probes and among Current-
sensing Clamps
• Voltage Input Probes
Probe for Input terminal N: Black (one)
Probes for Input terminals V1 to V3: Three different colors: Red, Yellow and Blue.
• Current-sensing Clamps
Clamps for Input terminals CH1 to CH4: Differentiated by ring markers of four different colors
2-4 |
IM CW140-E |
2.3 Connecting Input Signal Lines to Be Measured and External Input Terminals
● Use of Ring Markers (Standard Accessories)
Attach ring markers of the same color to both the terminal connection side and alligator clip side of a voltage input probe or to both the terminal connection side and clamping side of a current-sensing clamp. This enables you to differentiate between the input signal lines.
CAUTION
Be careful not to damage a probe when attaching ring markers.
● Connection of External I/O Terminals
Signal wire
Tool such as a flat-tip screwdriver
● Connection Procedure
Insert the signal wire into the hole while pressing the rectangular area at the bottom of the external I/O terminal using such a tool as a flat-tip screwdriver. Removing the screwdriver from the terminal fixes the signal wire in place.
CAUTION
•Do not apply voltages outside the allowable input voltage range (-0.5 to 5.5 V), otherwise the input circuit may be damaged.
•When wiring the CW140, be careful not to mistake an input terminal for an output terminal.
● Applicable Signal Wires
Standard wire: φ1.0 single-core wire (AWG18) or 0.75 mm2 stranded wire Adaptable wire: φ0.4 to 1.0 single-core wire (AWG26 to 18) or 0.35 to 0.75
mm2 stranded wire (AWG22 to 20) with a minimum strand diameter of 0.18 mm; typical length of stripping = 10 mm
● Applied Terminals
LOGIC INPUT: Event input terminals (receive ON/OFF signals from equipment under test)
START/STOP: Terminals for inputting signals informing the start and end of logging, integration or demand measurement.
D/A OUTPUT: Terminals for D/A conversion output (optional)

2.4Overrange and Other Marks Shown during Measurement
● Overrange Indications during Measurement
: Conditions for current overrange indication
This mark appears if the sampled value exceeds 300% of the rated current range or if the rms value of the measured current exceeds 110% of the rated range. If a fixed range is used, step up the range.
: Conditions for voltage overrange indication
This mark appears if the sampled value exceeds 300% of the rated voltage range or if the rms value of the measured voltage exceeds 110% of the rated range. If a fixed range is used, step up the range.
TIP
•The current overrange mark appears if an input signal to one of the terminals CH1 to CH4 satisfies the conditions noted above.
•The voltage overrange mark appears if an input signal to one of the terminals V1 to V3 satisfies the conditions noted above.
Indication of Overrange Marks When Auto-ranging Is Used
The CW140 steps up or down the range, as discussed in Section 7.3, "Ranges and Number of Digits." Then, the CW140 shows the or mark if the conditions noted above become true under the maximum range.
Indication of OR Symbol
The CW140 shows the OR symbol, instead of a usual four-digit value, if the result of measurement (calculation) satisfies the conditions noted above.
(If a fixed range is used, step up the range.)
Indication of OR Symbol When Auto-ranging Is Used
The CW140 steps up or down the range, as discussed in Section 7.3, "Ranges and Number of Digits." Then, the CW140 shows the OR symbol if the conditions noted above become true under the maximum range.
WARNING
The CW140 shows an overrange mark under the maximum range only if the input level exceeds the maximum allowable input level. Do not apply any input level higher than the maximum allowable input level.
2-6 |
IM CW140-E |
2.4 Overrange and Other Marks Shown during Measurement
CAUTION
When measuring an input signal level exceeding the rated range, use a voltage transformer (VT) or a current transformer (CT) - scaling function. When using a VT or CT, thoroughly read Section 3.5, "Wiring the Circuit under Test Using External VT/CT."
● Frequency-related Overrange Indications
Normal measurement: The measurement range is from 45 Hz to 1 kHz.
The display shows "----" if the input signal is below 40 Hz or above 1.2 kHz.
Three-phase unbalance factor measurement:
The measurement range is from 45 to 440 Hz.
The display shows "----" if the input signal is below 40 Hz or above 440 Hz.
Harmonics measurement: The measurement range is from 45 to 65 Hz.
The display shows "----" if the input signal is below 40 Hz or above 70 Hz.
● Indications When the Measured Value Is Too Small
If either a voltage or current input level is below 0.4% of the rated range, the CW140 gives the readings noted below. If a fixed range is used, step down the range.
Reactive power 2 and apparent power: Read zero (0).
Power factor and phase angle: Read as "----".
If the level of active power or reactive power is below 0.7% of the rating, the reading is displayed as shown below.
Active power or reactive power: Read zero (0). The integration stops.
In harmonics measurement, the display reads as shown below if the input level of a frequency-measuring device is below 10% of the rated range.
All measurement data items: Read as "----".
If the voltage, current or power harmonic content in harmonics measurement is below 0.1%, the phase angle of a harmonic component of that order reads as "----".
TIP
Even if the instantaneous value overrange occurs and the OR symbol appears in the electric energy measure mode, the integration processing continues. In this case, the level of accuracy of the on-screen integrated value may become inaccurate (about two times) that of the rated accuracy.
NOTE
If continuous measurement (logging, integration, or demand) is performed when in AUTO range, the range will be fixed to the value when the START&STOP key is pressed.

|
|
|
•If using an external VT (voltage transformer) or CT (current transformer), make sure the transformer can adequately withstand the voltage being measured.
•Be careful not to allow the secondary stage of the CT to become open-circuited while the CT is being electrified. Otherwise, a high-voltage may develop on the secondary stage, causing extreme danger.
•The maximum allowable input voltage range of the external input terminals (external control input and event input terminals) is specified as –0.5 to 5.5 V.
Do not apply voltages exceeding this range, otherwise the input circuitry may be damaged.
(When wiring the input terminals, be careful not confuse them with the optional D/A output terminals.)
•Do not use any probes or clamps other than those voltage input probes or dedicated clamps supplied together with the CW140.
•Do not use a clamp with any non-insulated conductors.
TIP
After wiring the CW140, it is necessary to perform setting/operation for the wiring method using the

3.5Wiring the Circuit under Test Using External VT/CT
WARNING
•When using an external CT, be careful not to allow the secondary stage of the CT to become open-circuited while the primary stage is being electrified. Otherwise, a high voltage may develop on the secondary stage, causing extreme danger.
•The current under test flows through the bold lines shown in the figure below. For these lines, use wire that has an adequate margin of current-carrying capacity.
If the maximum voltage or current level being measured exceeds the maximum measurement range of the CW140, use an external VT and/or CT. This strategy enables the measurement of voltage or current levels above the maximum range.
If the maximum voltage level exceeds 600 V, attach an external VT. Then, connect the secondary stage of the VT to the voltage input terminals.
If the maximum current level exceeds the following value, attach an external CT. Then, connect the secondary stage of the CT to the currentsensing clamp.
200 A, when clamp A (20, 50, 100 and 200 A) is used 500 A, when clamp C (50, 100, 200 and 500 A) is used 1000 A, when clamp B (200, 500 and 1000 A) is used

TIP
•The CW140 can show the primarystage value even if the scaling function is applied using VT/CT.
SEE ALSO
Section 7.7, "Scaling Function," for details on how to use VT/CT.
•The lowest current range of the CW140 main unit itself is 20 A on full scale and the accuracy also depends on this value. Note therefore that if a CT is used and its secondary output is too small when compared with 20 A, then the error ratio will become higher.
