DescriptionDescription
The ECS Series of Single Phase AC Current Sensors is a universal, overcurrent or undercurrent sensing
control. Its built-in toroidal sensor eliminates the inconvenience of installing a stand-alone current transformer.
Includes onboard adjustments for current sensing mode, trip point, and trip delay. Detects over or under
current events like locked rotor, loss of load, an open heater or lamp load, or proves an operation is taking place
or has ended.

OperationOperation
Operation
OperationOperation
Input voltage must be supplied at all times for proper
operation. When a fault is sensed throughout the trip
delay , the output r elay is energized. When the current
returns to the normal run condition, the output and the
delay are reset. If a fault is sensed and then corrected
before the trip delay is completed, the relay will not
energize and the trip delay is reset to zero.
AdjustmentAdjustment
Adjustment
AdjustmentAdjustment
Select the desired function, over or under current
sensing. Set the trip point and trip delay to
approximate settings. Apply power to the ECS and
the monitored load. Turn adjustment and watch the
LED. LED will light; turn slightly in opposite direction
until LED is off. Adjustment can be done while
connected to the control circuitry if the trip delay is set
at maximum.
