The A/MCS and A/MSCS are miniature “Go/No Go” current status
switches designed to replace relays in most applications. The output of
the A/MCS and the A/MSCS current switches functions as a N/O switch
activated by the amount of sensed AC current. The output of these
switches uses a N/O solid-state switch (more reliable than a relay) and is
non-polarity sensitive.
The A/MCS is the solid-core version while the A/MSCS is the split-core
version, making it ideal for retrofit applications. Both sensors induce
power from the conductor being monitored and require no external power.
The Model A/MCS has a fixed trip point of below 0.20A while the
A/MSCS has a fixed trip point of below 0.55A. When the current in the
conductor exceeds this threshold, the sensor will be “Closed.” The
sensor will indicate “Open” when the current is interrupted or falls to 0A.
These units perform in any application where the amount of AC current
flow is sufficient to indicate the operating status of the sensed load.
The A/MCS and A/MSCS Series are covered by ACI's Five (5) Year Limited Warranty, which is located in the
front of ACI'S SENSORS & TRANSMITTERS CATALOG or can be found on ACI's web site,
which is: www.workaci.com.
