Now you can easily detect when drive belts slip,
break, or pump couplings shear. In fact, a typical
HVAC motor that loses its load has a reduction of
current draw of up to 50%. That's why our sensors
are the industry standard for status.

THE VFD STATUS SENSOR!
H904
U.S. Patent No. 5,705,989
The Hawkeye 904 microprocessor based current status switch provides a unique
solution for monitoring status of motors controlled by variable frequency drives.
Provide accurate status on loads controlled by variable frequency drives.
The H904 stores the sensed amperage values for normal operation at
various frequency ranges in non-volatile memory. This information allows
it to distinguish between a reduced amp draw due to normal changes in
the frequency and abnormal amperage drop due to belt loss or other
mechanical failures.
APPLICATIONS
Monitoring positive status on motors controlled by variable frequency drives
Replace pressure switches
904
Split-Core Adjustable Setpoint Digital Output
VFD Current Switch
Microprocessor-based…real labor saver…No need to calibrate to detec t
belt loss on VFDs
Self-adjusting trip setpoint…factory programmed to detect belt loss
undercurrent conditions!
Provides accurate status for VFD loads
Automatically compensates for effects of frequency and amperage changes
associated with VFDs
LED indicates normal and alarm conditions
Huge labor savings…no need to calibrate in live starter enclosures…
Install and go
Accurately detec ts belt loss and coupling shea r on VFD driven motors
Monitors both frequency & amperage…distinguishes normal drops in
amperage from abnormal drops due to mechanical failure
Split-core design is ideal for retrofits…no need to remove conductor
