Current Sensor

I have an AC/DC Current Probe and am in search of the wiring configuration for connecting it to a 9-pin connector, preferably with a TEDS Chip included. Does anyone know how to do this?

Dear Kevin,

Could you please let me know which DAQ device you have? Which current probe do you have?

Best regards

@Matic Pevec

Yes. The DAQ device is SIRIUS-i STGM model. The current probe is a GMC Instrument PROSyS AC/DC Current Probe Model CP 30_11.

Dear Kevin,

In the manual, you can find the pinout which can help you with how to connect the probe.

Unfortunately, I am not highly educated on the wiring topic. How do I know which wire from the current is going to go into pin 1 and so on and so forth?

Dear Kevin,

Unfortunately, I cannot find the datasheet of your clamps which will refer to the wiring of the clamp. What we would need is a description of the colors of each wire on your clamps (e.g. red wire-->+ supply; green-->0V; white-->+ Output; black-->- output). This is specific to the clamps, so I would be really grateful if you could send us the datasheet and we will describe how to connect clamps to the sirius.

Best regards

I attached an image of the sheet that comes with the current sensor. is this what you would need?

Dear Kevin,

Thank you for the picture. You should use the following connection.

Thank you! I saw some images of a current sensor with the TEDS chip, but it had resistors connected as well. Would this wiring need any resistors? Also, does the TEDS chip connect the IO to pin 9 and Ground to pin 4?

Dear Kevin,

In general TEDS chip doesn't demand an additional resistor. If you add it instead, it will serve as security for chip and won't affect the operation in case the resistance is not too large. DS-CLAMPS doesn't require an additional resistor for TEDS.

Regarding the wiring you're right, IO to pin9 and GND to pin4.
