The CW500 retains all the settings used in the previous measurement and starts in the same condition when the power is turned on. The default settings are used when the CW500 is turned on the first time after purchase. Quick start guide Press START/STOP to run the Quick start guide.
For information on how to handle SD memory cards, refer to the user’s manual provided with the card. To prevent problems, only save data files of the CW500 to the SD memory card. Delete unnecessary files in advance. Internal memory/...
• Apply voltage in the range of ±11 V to the input terminals and in the range of 0 to 30 V (50 mA, 200 mW) to the output terminals. Exceeding these ranges can damage the CW500. • The L terminals of each channel are connected internally. Do not simultaneously connect different ground levels to the L terminals.
Page 121
Input terminals are used to monitor voltage output signals from temperature sensors or the like. They are useful when you need to simultaneously measure a signal output from another device and the anomalies that occur on that power supply.

The current capacity is large on the primary side and is dangerous. • Connect the probe after checking that the instrument is turned off. • Connect the main unit end of the cord first. Firmly insert the probe up to the base. • If the probe cracks or the metal parts become exposed, stop using it immediately. IIM CW500-01EN...

Turn on the power supply adapter’s power switch. Turn on the CW500 power switch. To remove the power supply adapter from the CW500, reverse the steps above. For details on how to operate the power supply adapter, see the user’s manual for the adapter.
Analysis The software “CW500VIewer” can be used to analyze the data recorded on the CW500 and also configure the CW500. You can automatically create graphs and lists from recorded data with a single click, convert recorded data to CSV format, centrally manage setup data and recorded data of several CW500s, and output data expressed in crude oil and CO2 equivalent values in reports.
