Scope
This instruction sheet is for connecting a 3rd party meter to the C4000. Please note that the
Triscan interface board has been used previously for pulse applications. However, in this
application it is used as a barrier to connect a 3rd party meter. Connections in each
application are different and attention should be paid to the location and connections of this
application.
See the following photo for the location of the Triscan interface board in this application.
