The CWT/CWTLF/CWTHF (CWT) Rogowski Current Waveform Transducer from PEM combines high bandwidth performance with minimal disruption to the circuit under test. These instructions must be followed whenever the CWT is used. They are intended to help you obtain the best and safest performance from the transducer.

HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS The coil is fully inserted when the user feels the free-end of the coil engage with the internal click-in mechanism inside the ferrule. Visual indication that the coil mechanism is fully inserted is provided by the black coil marker situated near the end of the coil, as shown below.
THE CWT ROGOWSKI COIL The insulation around the Rogowski coil must be VISUALLY INSPECTED before use, and the CWT must NOT BE USED if there are signs of damage. When bending the flexible coil around a conductor, avoid tight bends and sharp edges that could damage the coil.
POWER OPTIONS The CWT can be powered by an external DC source or by one of two battery options. The battery option is displayed along with the model type on the CWT serial number label and will state either standard non-rechargeable batteries [B] or rechargeable option [R] External Supply The CWT can be powered by an external DC supply.
LED indicates that the transducer is ON when the LED is GREEN. After switch-on the CWT may require a settling period of up to 2 minutes before providing correct current measurement. The settling period is dependent on warm-up time and the low frequency bandwidth.
SENSITIVITY TO EXTERNAL CURRENTS AND VOLTAGES The sensitivity of the CWT to currents that are outside the closed loop of the Rogowski coil is very small, provided that the external currents are less than the current rating of the CWT or that such currents are relatively distant from the coil.
24 months from the date of despatch from Power Electronic Measurements Ltd. In the event of a defect where the transducer has not been misused the CWT should be returned to PEM with all freight charges to be paid by the customer. Correction shall be in the form of repair or replacement.
