CTC Analog Output Does Not Function Verify that the maximum amperage range has not been exceeded.
No CTC Ouput at Controller
Voltages or currents above the rated levels may damage the CTC.
CTCG420NN:
1. Verify that loop power between the CTC terminals and control panel
analog input is 18-30 VDC.
2. Turn off monitored load. Disconnect inputs to controller. Measure
current in power supply and CTC output loop with multimeter. Current
should be 4 mA with no load.
3. Check current loop polarity.
CTCGV05NN and CTCGV10NN:
1. Check amperage in monitored conductor.
2. Check polarity of sensor ouput and controller output.
3. Make sure clamp is fully closed.
4. Measure voltage across CTC output terminals.

CTC Series - Current Transducer Clamped w/ Relay
Model CTCG420R1 / CTCGV05R1 / CTCGV10R1
Installation Instructions
Introduction
The Current Transducer Clamped (CTC) Series of analog
output current transducers are noninvasive devices designed
to monitor current flowing through a cable or wire. A cost
effective solution for monitoring load or proof of operation,
these units are ideal for monitoring current loads on pumps,
fans and blowers, and for sensing the status of heating coils
and lighting. CTC’s used for load trending over time are effective sensors for predictive maintenance programs.
These units are available with standard 4-20mA current loop,
0-5VDC, and 0-10VDC analog output. The voltage output
models derive excitation by magnetic induction from the current-carrying conductor (wire or cable), making these units
completely self-powered. The current loop output model
requires a 24VDC power supply.
The factory installed snap-on power relay facilitates the
remote startup and stopping of the motor. It requires a
separate 24 V AC/DC power supply also.
IMPORTANT: The Current Transducer Clamped (CTC) Series Current
Devices are intended to provide an input to equipment under normal
operating conditions. Where failure or malfunction of the CTC 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 CTC. READ
INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.
Installation
WARNING: Risk of Electric Shock
!
Disconnect power supply before making electrical connections. Contact with components carrying hazardous
voltage can cause electric shock and may result in

Mounting
1. Using the two screws (included), attach the mounting
bracket to the back of the electrical enclosure.
2. Snap the CTC into place on the mounting bracket.
Wiring
1. Disconnect power to the conductor cable at the power
source.
2. Place the split core around the power conductor cable,
and close the core until the core snaps shut.
3. Wire CTC output terminals to the control box Analog
Input (AI) terminal. Connect control box output to relay coil.
Connect power relay to control power and motor starter.
Note: Connector terminal blocks accept wire sizes from 12-22
AWG. Screw terminal torque is 4 lbf -in. or .5 N-m maximum.
4. Set input current range with front panel slide switch. (See
Setup)
5. Reconnect the power conductor cable (For wiring example,
see Figure 2.)

than the maximum current rating of the CTC, use the following methods to increase or decrease current.
Setup
Setting Amperage Range
Set the amperage range slide switch to a level consistant with
your load.
If Measured Current is Too Low to Be Detected
Wrap the conductor (wire) through the sensing hole
and around the CTC body to produce multiple turns
CTCG420R1 = 30, 60, or 120 A
CTCGV05R1 = 30, 60, or 120 A
CTCGV10R1 = 20, 100, or 150 A
to increase the measured current Measured current =
actual current times the number of turns (see figure 3).
Figure 5: Setting CTC Amperage Range
Figure 3: CTC Shown with Four Turns
NOTE: Controller must be scaled to account for the extra
turns. If four turns pass through the sensor as shown, the
normal controller reading must be divided by four.
Wiring and Output
CTCG420R1
IMPORTANT: Failure to derate the current capacity could result in
damage to the CTC when using multiple turns to increase measured
current. Use the following formula to determine the new maximum
current:
New Maximum Current = CTC Current Rating/number of turns
For example, Model CTCG420NN with 4 turns = 120 A/4 = 30.0 A,
new maximum current.
To Monitor Currents Exceeding the Maximum
Current Rating of the CTC
For currents >120 A (Model CTCG420NN and
CTCGV05NN) or >150 A (Model CTCGV10NN):
Use a 5 A Current Transformer (CT) to reduce the current
passing through the CTC as shown in Figure 4. Run the
current transformer secondary wire through the sensing
hole. Terminate the 2 secondary wires of the 5 A current
transformer to each other, and then install the
5 A current transformer on the monitored conductor.
Set the CTC for lowest amperage range (20 or 30 A)
