DANGER!—HIGH VOLTAGE HAZARD
Installing CTs in an energized electrical enclosure or on any energized conductor can result in severe injury or death. These CTs
are for installation by qualified personnel only. To avoid electrical shock, do not perform any installation or servicing of these CTs
unless you are qualified to do so. Disconnect and lock-out all power sources during installation and servicing.
This document provides instructions on connecting the Magnelab CTs listed above to the
FlexSmart™TRMS Module used with either HOBO H22, U30, or RX3000 series data
loggers. It also lists configuration values used by HOBOware®software to configure the
logger for each CT.

*The S-FS-TRMSA-D has a modular connector for
connecting to a Smart Sensor port and thus is compatible
with both H22 and U30 series data loggers. The
S-FS-TRMSA is compatible with the H22 series only.
