– Compatibility & Integration
The CT-1000 probe connects to the Dranetz ecosystem, including the PX5 Power Explorer, Energy Platform, Encore Series 61000, 4400 Series instruments, and PowerVisa. Connection to the Encore Series 61000 requires the 61MAC input module. Adapter cables such as the CA4300 may be necessary depending on probe model and target instrument. Output is standard analog or digital communication depending on the connected device, with scale factor configuration required in the monitoring instrument for accurate readings.
