or calibrated using a True RMS
Multimeter in the field
Model 27SG has silver with gold
flash contacts for low current.
DESCRIPTION
Model 27 True RMS Current Monitor has a display
that shows the current with an accuracy of +/- 0.5%.
The display is updated every second and re-initialized
every 30 seconds.
This unit has a user selectable relay option for High-Low
or DPDT. It can also be user-selected to energize on
fault or de-energize on fault. The user can select
automatic or manual restart on the Model 27. The SG
version of the Model 27 has silver with gold flash
contacts for low current applications.
Model 27 True RMS Current Monitor can be either
calibrated using a True RMS Multimeter or can be
restored to factory defaults in the field.

Installation Instructions
INSTALLATION AND SETUP
Controls:
Rotary encoder with switch. Pressing the encoder
switch will display the set points. Pressing the
encoder switch for more than 5 seconds will enter
the setup mode. Pressing switch displays the next
menu item. Holding down the switch during setup
mode will sequence through menus with 1 second
intervals. Rotating the knob clockwise increases
the value and counter-clockwise will decrease
value.
For non-value options, rotating the knob either way
will change the options on the display.
Setup Options: (Press encoder for at least 5
seconds to enter setup)
High current: (Factory Enabled: Set Point = 5A,
5S Delay)
Enable/Disable: (If disabled, set point and delay
are skipped)
Set Range: Low Set + 1% to 1200A in 0.5A steps
High trip delay: 0 to 20.0 seconds in 0.1Sec
steps
Low current: (Factory Enabled: Set Point = 1A,
5S Delay)
Enable/Disable (If disabled set point and delay
are skipped)
Set Range: 1A to High Set -1% in 0.5A steps
Low trip delay: 0 to 20.0 seconds in 0.1Sec steps
Relay operation: (Factory = HI-LO)
Current High/Low option:
Separate High/Low relays

Installation Instructions
MODIFYING DISPLAYED CURRENT
If measured amperage is different than the Model 27’s
displayed current, follow this procedure:
1) Measure the actual current
2) Check the secondary current of the CT with a clampon type of Ammeter
3) If the ratio is different from the theoretical current that
should be available from the CT, you can change the
CT ratio on the Model 27 to display the true reading of
the current.
OPTIONAL 400HZ FREQUENCY SETUP
To change the Model 27 from the factory default 50/60Hz
frequency to 400Hz, simply remove the blank cover plate
(without holes) and move the jumper from 50/60Hz to
400Hz . Replace the cover plate when completed.
UNIT FIELD RESTORE FACTORY SETTINGS
AND RECALIBRATION
1) From a powered down condition. Place a current
meter in series with the test current. Apply the current
to the unit first.
DIMENSIONS
2) Press and hold the Encoder switch while applying the
DC power to the unit. As soon as the splash screen
appears release the button. The display will show “No
Rest Fac”. Rotate encoder to change option to “Yes”
to restore factory settings. Press the Encoder switch.
3) The display will show the phase Current. Rotate
encoder to change the reading on the display to be
what is on the meter. When readings match press the
Encoder switch.
4) The unit will return to normal operation.
