MODEL 160B
MODEL 160BR
Voltage Sensor
Detects Over or Under Voltage
Din Rail or Surface Mounting
Optional 5-minute Time Delay
DESCRIPTION
The Model 160B(R) Voltage Sensor is a single set-
point voltage sensor. Input voltages above the setpoint
cause the output contacts to energize. Input voltages
below the setpoint cause the output contacts to deenergize. The dead band between pull-in and drop-out
is less than 2%.
Wiring connections are made to 1/4” quick connect
terminals. Standard versions have a 2 second restart
delay. The ‘R’ versions of the Model 160B have a fixed
5 minute short cycle delay. The Model 160B has a
screwdriver adjustable setpoint range of approximately
35% of the maximum voltage.
The Model 160B is not frequency sensitive and may be
used in systems from 50 to 400Hz.

MODEL 160B (R)
Voltage Sensor
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING, OPERATING OR SERVICING THIS DEVICE.
KEEP THIS DATA SHEET FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
GENERAL SAFETY
POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT AT THE TERMINALS OF THE MODEL 160B.
ALL ELECTRICAL POWER SHOULD BE REMOVED WHEN CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING WIRING.
THIS DEVICE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SERVICED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
Installation Instructions
INSTALLATION
The Model 160B can be mounted on a standard DIN Rail
or surface-mounted as required.
Attach 1/4” terminal lugs to the input voltage wires, and
connect to the terminals marked INPUT (refer to the
Typical Application diagram).
Apply power. The internal relay contacts transfer when the
input power is above the adjustable trip point.
For under voltage sensing, connect the load control
circuit to the terminal marked C and NO.
For over voltage sensing,connect the load control circuit
to the terminals marked C and NC.
ADJUSTMENT
Note: While adjusting the Model 160B you may wish to
jumper the control circuit contact to prevent the unit from
tripping the load off and on.
For under voltage sensing: Rotate the adjustment
clockwise until the failure indicator light just illuminates and
the contacts transfer. Slowly rotate the adjustment control
in a counter-clockwise direction until the failure indicator
goes out and the relay energizes. Any voltage below this
point will trip the relay off and illuminate the failure
indicator.
For over voltage sensing: Slowly rotate the adjustment
clockwise until the failure indicator just illuminates and the
relay de-energizes. Any voltage above this level will cause
the relay to energize and the failure indicator light to go
out.
Should nuisance tripping occur after either of the above
settings, turn the adjustment slightly farther as necessary.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Should the Model 160B(R) Voltage Sensor fail to operate,
check all connections. Verify that the proper source voltage
is present, and check all fuses. Should problems persist,
contact the factory for assistance.
WARRANTY
This product is warranted to be free from defects in
materials and workmanship for one year. Should this
device fail to operate, we will repair it for one year from
the date of manufacture. For complete warranty
details, see the Terms and Conditions of Sales page in
