• 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.
Page 19
• 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 mm...
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 allow- able input level.
Page 21
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.

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.
3.6 Connecting a Power Supply and Turning It On/Off The CW140 can be operated with the following three types of power supply. • Six AA-size alkaline batteries • AC power supply through an AC adapter (standard accessory) Part number: 788011 Yokogawa’s AC adapter...
Page 32
• If the voltage of an alkaline battery falls below a given level, the mark appears in the upper- right corner of the display (low-battery state). If you continue to operate the CW140 in this state, the meter automatically turns off.
Page 33
• Before connecting the power cord, also make sure the power switch on the CW140 is turned off. • If the CW140 is not to be used for a prolonged period, disconnect the power cord from the outlet. • Do not use any other AC adapter than the one (part number: 788011) dedicated to the CW140.

15.2 Connecting CW140 through RS-232C Interface When connecting the CW140 to a computer, make sure the methods used for handshake, data transmission rate, and data format are the same on both the CW140 and the computer. For details, see the following pages. Also, be sure to use interface cables that match the specifications of the CW140.

15.3 Handshake Methods For the CW140 power meter to be able to communicate with a personal computer through the RS-232C interface, the equipment on both sides must agree on a set of rules and go through a series of procedures relating to electrical signals to ensure reliable data exchange.
Page 157
A hardware handshake is performed between the meter and the computer. When there is 256 bytes of free space in the receive buffer, the meter sets "RS=False." When the free space is 768 bytes, it sets "RS=True". 15-5 IM CW140-E...
Page 158
15.3 Handshake Methods Precautions on Data Receive Control When the CW140 power meter is controlling receive data by means of a handshake, additional data may be sent from the computer even if there is less than 256 bytes of free space in the receive buffer. If the receive buffer becomes full, all extra data are discarded regardless of the handshake.
15.4 Matching the Data Format The CW140 uses start-stop synchronization to communicate through its RS- 232C interface. In communication based on start-stop synchronization, a start bit is added every time a character is transmitted, where the start bit is followed by data, parity, and stop bits (see the figure below).
Time of power failure occurrence CAUTION In the event of a power failure occurring when data is being saved or printed, the CW140 immedi- ately stops printing or saving and the data will be invalid, or in the case of saving data, the file contents may become corrupt.

Appendix Appendix 5. Explanation of Reactive Power Method Reactive Power Method The CW140 can calculate reactive power either with or without the reactive power method (reactive power 1 or 2). Calculation Without Using Reactive Power Method Option (Reactive Power 2)
Appendix 5. Explanation of Reactive Power Method Calculation Using Reactive Power Method (Reactive Power 1) The CW140 directly calculates reactive power by shifting current phases by 90 degrees, as with common reactive power meters. This method can eliminate the effects of the unbalanced element and harmonic content on the measured object, gaining measurement values for the voltage and current with the same frequency element.
