DI
Disconnect and lock out power to the enclosure containing the
conductor to be monitored.
1. Locate a mounting surface for the removable mounting bracket that will allow the
monitored conductor to pass through center window when it is installed and that
will keep the product at least 1/2” from any uninsulated conductors. Determine cable
routing for the controller connection, allowing wiring to reach the mounting location.
2. Drill holes to mount the bracket to the chosen surface using the included screws.
3. Wire the output connections between the sensor and the controller (solid-state
contac t).
4. Snap the sensor over the wire to be monitored and clip the assembly to the mounting
bracket.
5. Secure enclosure and reconnect power.

H10F
INSTALLATION GUIDE
OPERATION
The H10F is a over-current and under-current monitor intended for use with a PLC or
other system controller. The current switch learns the nominal amperage on the line,
then monitors for amperage changes greater than ±20% of the learned value. If the
amperage goes out of the normal range, the current switch changes output state,
raising an alarm in the system controller. This alarm state persists until the amperage
comes back to within ±15% of the learned value for 30 seconds to ensure that the
system has truly returned to normal operation. The status output is suitable for
connection to system controllers or other data acquisition equipment operating at up
to 1A and 30VDC. The H10F requires no external power supply to generate its output.
NOTES
For load currents greater than sensor maximum rating:
Use a 5 Amp (H68xx series) Current Transformer (CT) as shown. This technique can be
combined with wrapping (see below) to add range for a low current load on a high
current source.

OPE RATIN G STATES
H68 xx-5A CT
DANGER: 5A CTs can present hazardous voltages.
Install CTs in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
Terminate the CT secondary before applying current.
CAUTION
• Derate the product’s maximum current for the number of turns
through the sensing window using the following formula.
Rated Max. Amps ÷ Number of Turns = Max. monitored Amps
e.g. : 100A ÷ 4 Turns = 25 Amps max. in monitored conductor
• Failure to follow these instructions can result in overheating
and permanent equipment damage.
For load currents less than sensor minimum rating:
Wrap the monitored conductor through the center window and around the sensor
body to produce multiple turns through the window. This increases the current
measured by the switch.
Program controller to account for the extra
turns. e.g., if four turns pass through the
sensor (as shown), then divide the normal
controller reading by 4.

Problem Solution
No Reading at Controller
• Check sensor calibration (see above)
• Check for control voltage at sensor (<30V)
• Check for amperage in monitored conductor (> 3.5A)
• Assure that sensor core mating surfaces are clean and that
the core clamp is completely closed
