Operating Specifications
*Note: All current sensors are shipped from the factory with the jumper set in the high range.
Wiring Example
_
+
Acquisition System
PLC, DDC, or Data
+ 0-5 or 0-10 VDC
(-) Signal Common
GND (Shield)
Analog Input
Connections: Shielded, twisted pair cable is
recommended for these connections.
Note: Ground shield at control
system end only!
Power: These current sensors DO NOT
need an external power source,
since the power is self-induced
from the monitored load
or conductor.
Troubleshooting
Problem
Solution
No reading
- Verify that there is current flowing thru the conductor being monitored with a
clamp-on current probe. The power for the current sensor is induced from the
conductor being monitored.
- Check the polarity of the circuit.
- Verify that the terminals are screwed down, wires are firmly in place.
- Disconnect the wires from the current sensor output. Measure the voltage
across the current sensor output with a Voltmeter to verify that the sensor is
working properly.
Erratic readings
- Verify that the wires are terminated properly.
- In areas of high RF interference, shielded cable may be necessary to stabilize
signal.
Inaccurate readings
- If you suspect that the current sensor is not reading within the accuracy
specifications, please contact the factory for assistance.
