Before each use, inspect the flexible current transducer and its latching
system for any damage for continued safety. Pay particular attention to the
insulation surrounding the flexible measuring head.
The flexible current transducer and its latching system require no special
care. Ensure that no foreign object obstructs the latching mechanism. Clean
the CT-500 with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Do not use abrasives,
solvents, or alcohol.
If ct-500 does not perform properly, use the following steps to help isolate
the problem:
• Inspect the coupling system for any damage. If a foreign material is
present, the coupling system will not close properly and errors will
result.
• Inspect the cables between the flexible measuring head and CT-500
circuit box. Also inspect between CT-500 circuit box and DM-5 for any
damage.
• Check the power ON LED on the circuit box is ON.
• Verify the transducer setting on DM-5 is correct.
