What You Need
Customer provides:
- Access to machine power cable (one conductor)
Physical Connection

Verify clamping
Ensure the clamp is fully closed and the wire is centered in the jaw. Incorrect clamping gives inaccurate readings.
Machine Configuration

Verification
- 1
Run machine
Start the machine and verify current reading increases. Stop the machine and verify it drops.
- 2
