BUILDING AUTOMATION

POWER SOURCE

CONTROLLER

Disconnect and lock out power to the enclosure containing the condustor to be monitored.

1. Locate a mounting surface for the removable mounting bracket that will allow the monitored conductor to pass through the center window when it is installed and that will keep the product at least ½” (13 mm) 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 push the latch until it is securely closed. Clip the assembly to the mounting bracket.

5. Secure the enclosure and reconnect power.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The H300 is a current-sensitive switching device that monitors current (amperage) in the conductor passing through it. A change in amperage in the monitored conductor that crosses the switch threshold causes the resistance of the FET status output to change state, similar to the action of a mechanical switch. In this model, the threshold is xed at 150 mA AC max. The status output is suitable for connection to building controllers, or other appropriate data acquisition equipment operating at up to 30 volts. The H300 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) when added range is desired for a low current load on a high current source.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Solution

No Reading at Controller • Check for control voltage at sensor (<30V)

• Check for amperage in monitored conductor (> 0.15A)

• Assure that sensor core mating surfaces are clean and

that the core clamp is completely closed.

DANGER: 5A CTs can present hazardous voltages. Install CTs in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. Terminate the CT secondary before applying current.

CAUTION

RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

• 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 center window. This increases the current measured by the transducer.

Program the controller to account for the extra turns. e.g., if four turns pass through the sensor (as shown) divide the normal controller reading by 4.
