Specifications - Installation and Operating Instructions

he Series CCS Current Switches are ideal for monitoring the operating status of

T

ans, pumps, and motors. These self-powered switches can be hung or tied directly

f
to cables or wires. For use on existing installations, split core models can be
installed without disconnecting cables. LED indicators provide a visual
confirmation that the current is flowing through the core. Both fixed and adjustable
set points are available. The adjustable models utilize a potentiometer to easily

djust the set point.

PERATING INSTRUCTIONS

O

NOTICE

failure or malfunction of the current switch could lead to personal injury or property
damage to the controlled equipment or other property, additional precautions, must
be designed into the control system. Incorporate and maintain other devices such
as supervisory or alarm systems or safety or limit controls intended to warn of, or
protect against, failure or malfunction of the CCS.

The Series CCS Current Switches are intended to provide an
input to equipment under normal operating conditions. Where

RISK OF SHOCK

WARNING

cause electrical shock and may result in severe personal injury or death.

INSTALLATION

MOUNTING

1. Mount the switch in a suitable location using the two mounting holes in the base
of the unit.

2. If using ties, make sure ties are securely fastened and that the unit is stable.

If using the provided screws, tightly screw in one screw at a time into each hole.

WIRING

1. Ensure that the power supply to the circuit is off.

2. For solid core devices: disconnect the circuit line, slide the power conductor
cable through the sensing hole of the current switch, and reconnect the circuit
line.
For split core devices: open the core using the release tab. Snap the core
closed around the power conductor cable. Make sure that the core release tab
is locked in its original position.

3. Connect the switch circuit to the two screw terminals using ring or fork type
terminals.

4. Turn circuit back on.

LED INDICATORS

• Green LED: indicates that current is passing through the core, but the set point
has not been reached and the contacts are open.

• Red LED: indicates that the set point has been reached and the contacts are now
closed.

SET POINT CALIBRATION (For adjustable models only)

The output switch of all devices is open. When the monitored current exceeds the trip
value as set by the set point calibration, the switch will close. The red LED light will

TROUBLESHOOTING

Symptom

Series CCS output does not function.

Set point potentiometer keeps turning.

Motor (or other equipment using current)
is turned on and switch does not close.

MAINTENANCE

Upon final installation of the Series CCS Current Switches, no routine maintenance is
required. A periodic check of system calibration is recommended. The Series CCS is
not field serviceable and should be returned if repair is needed (field repair should not
be attempted and may void warranty). Be sure to include a brief description of the
problem plus any relevant application notes. Contact customer service to receive a
return of goods authorization number before shipping.

The adjustment should be turned slightly clockwise past a certain
point to ensure normal line current variations do not cause false

Solution

• Verify that the maximum amperage range has not been exceeded.
Voltages or currents above the rated levels may damage the Series
CCS.

• Turn the potentiometer counterclockwise, to return the unit to its
original setting. Start the calibration procedure again.

• Insufficient current to the load leads to reach the set point
threshold. To turn switch on, follow the instructions if current is too
low to be detected.
