Mounting
The device can be located in any position and place, in accordance with the operating
conditions above stated. Use the included holder bracket when fixing to a DIN rail.
WARNING: High-strength magnetic fields may change the measured output value:
Let avoid closeness to permanent magnets, electromagnets or iron bulks that cause
such a modification of the surrounding magnetic field; try a different arrangement or
orientation if zero error was greater than expected.
Multi-turn primary winding to improve sensibility
You can increase the sensibility of the device simply passing several times in the hole
w i t h t h e m e a s u r i n g c u r r e n t , r e a l i z i n g t u r n s w i t h m u l t i p l i c a t i v e e ff e c t :
For example, passing 5 times in the hole, as to see 4 turns, choosing a 50 A range,
you get an equivalent sensibility of 10 A full-scale. When you make this, let dispose the
turns with symmetry in order to preserve accuracy: use diametric contraposition with 2
turns, cross disposition with 4 turns, with 6 turns at 60° and so on.
