How to wire a Current Transformer

Hi All,
Is there anything else that i would need when using a Current Transformer ? I will be using this with an arduino to measure AC current of a Spot welder. The current schematic of the Current Transformer is from its data sheet (
http://www.tamuracorp.com/clientuploads/pdfs/engineeringdocs/L06PXXXS05.pdf
)
The optocoupler is to sense when the electrodes are shorted for a spot weld.

That is not a current transformer, but rather a hall effect current sensor. Yes, your connection method is correct.

<fellbuendel> it's arduino, you're not supposed to know anything about what you're doing
<fellbuendel> if you knew, you wouldn't be using it
