WARNINGS
DANGER OF ELECTROCUTION: BE CERTAIN THAT EVERY
CT IS CONNECTED TO A LOAD AT ALL TIMES WHEN CLAMPED TO AN ENERGIZED
CONDUCTOR. Current mode Current Transformers (CTs) such as those used
in this produc t can be damaged, or generate lethal voltages, if clamped
around current carrying conductors while the output leads are not properly terminated to a shorting device, or loaded, as by the H663SM main
board. Install wiring connec tors in accordance with manufacturer's specifica-
tions and instructions.
• Potential elec trocution hazard exists. Installing sensors in an energized
electrical panel, or on any energized conductor can be ha zardous. CT
outputs should not be connected to Operator Accessible circuits.
• Read instructions thoroughly prior to install
• This product is not intended for life or safety applications.
• This product is not intended for installation in hazardous or classified
locations and must be installed in an electrical and fire enclosure in accordance
with EN 61010-1.
Severe injury or death can result from electrical shock during contact with high
voltage conductors or related equipment. Disconnect and lock-out all power
sources during installation and service. Applications shown are suggested means
of installing sensors, but it is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the
installation is safe and in compliance with all national and local codes. Installation should be attempted only by individuals familiar with codes, standards,
and proper safety procedures for high-voltage installations.

OPERATION
Designed for the critical load monitoring such as Co-location Data Centers and
lighting panels, the H663 series monitors current on up to 42 branch circuits in
a 120/208/240 VAC electrical panel. By individually reporting current draw and
initiating capacity warnings and alarms, the H663 series allows the user to manage
loading and eliminate power disturbances caused by overloaded breakers.
The H663 series consists of a data acquisition system board and up to 42 individual
split-core current transformers (CTs). The acquisition board should be mounted inside the electrical panel, or in an enclosure mounted near enough for the CT output
leads to reach the acquisition board connectors. The CTs are clipped onto each of the
branch circuit conductors. These CTs transmit amperage data from each monitored
circuit to the acquisition system for processing.
Current and alarm information is transmitted to the user’s Control Data Acquisition
system over an RS485 drop using the Modbus protocol.
Set-up is made easy with a PC based configuration tool which allows for global or
individual selection of breaker size, warning levels, and alarm levels.
The H663 Series is a UL508 Listed open device without enclosure.

1 RS 485 2 or 4-Wire Connection
Daisy chain multiple H663's using a 2-wire or 4-wire modbus network. Refer
to Figure 4 on page 7.
2 Optical Communications Isolation
Optical isolators are used to separate 120 VAC portions of the circuit from the
RS485 network.
3 Alive LED
Flashes once per second to indicate correc t operation. If steadily lit or out,
indicates internal failure.
4 Current Transformer (CT) Connectors (Interconnection Boards)
Numbered terminals correspond to the input channels of the acquisition
board. Fasten the current transformer connectors into the terminals as
shown in figure 3 on page 3.

9 Modbus Address Dip Switches
Each Modbus device must have a unique address. These switches must be set
to assign an individual address before the device is connected to the
network. (See page 5)
10 Lithium Battery
CAUTION! DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY
REPLACED. REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME OR EQUIVALENT
TYPE RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. DISPOSE OF
USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER'S
INSTRUCTIONS.
11 TX LED
Indicates transmission of information over the Modbus network.
12 RX LED
Indicates data received on the Modbus network
13 Current Sensors
Each current sensor is capable of monitoring conductors carrying up to a
maximum of 50 amps.*
* The H663SM-42H is capable of monitoring conductors up to a maximum of 100 amps.
