● 3.1. Software installation For optimal working, we recommend that you install the latest version of Dewesoft. If you already have installed the older version Dewesoft is recommended that you find the newest version on the website under the Support/Downloads/DewesoftX section. You can also check if a newer version is available in the software.
DSI-DC-CT-1000-0.3M Measurement device Any DEWESoft device with LV, STG, STGS or UNI channel You can connect up to 4 DC-CT sensors within one system. Warning Never operate the DC-CT transducers without power supply (SIRIUSi-PWR-MCTS2, SIRIUS_ir-PWR-MCTS2). The DC-CT transducer can be damaged!
Do NOT connect the male DB9 connector of the DSI cable to the female connector on the MCTS device. In this case TEDS chip will be damaged! 2. Use D9m-D9f-Xm-MCTS to connect your DC-CT sensor to the SIRIUS-PWR-MCTS2 device. Connect the male DB9 connector of the cable to the MCTS device and the female DB9 connector to your DC-CT sensor.
4. Product overview 4.1. Main features The DC-CT-1000I-S22DA is a compact and accurate 1000 A zero-flux current transducer based on ISOTEL proprietary technology and patented Platiše Flux Sensor (PFS). Features a typical D-SUB connector with 22 mm opening in Aluminium chassis delivering 500 kHz of flat bandwidth, 100 ppm linearity, and total offset including hysteresis below 100 ppm FS.
TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL 4.2. The DC-CT technology The DC-CT technology at its core consists of a high-permeability core and a zero-flux closed-loop null method measurement principle, using the innovative Platiše Flux Sensor (PFS) zero-flux sensor. The DC-CT-1000I in addition comprises zero-flux, or null method to achieve highest accuracy and compensates non-linearities caused by the magnetic material, in similar way as other closed-loop DC-CT sensors.
