The unit design provides for b asic insulation only. * When operating at 50 Hz, low threshold may be 1.2A.

INSTALLATION

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 the 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.

NOTICE

• This product is not intended for life or safety applications.

• Do not install this product in hazardous or classiﬁed locations.

• The installer is responsible for conformance to all applicable codes.

• Mount this product inside a suitable ﬁre and electrical enclosure.

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 contact).

4. Route the conductor through the sensor’s center window and slip the assembly into the mounting bracket.

5. Calibrate the sensor (see page 2) with the load running normally.

6. Secure enclosure and reconnect power.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

OPERATION

The H709 is a current-sensitive switching device that monitors current (amperage) in the conductor passing through it. A change in the conductor’s amperage that crosses the adjustable switch threshold plus the hysteresis value causes the resistance of the FET status output to change state, similar to the action of a mechanical switch. In this model, the setpoint is adjustable through the action of a twenty (20) turn potentiometer (see the CALIBRATION section). The status output is suitable for connection to building controllers or other appropriate data acquisition equipment operating at up to 120 volts. The H709 requires no ex ternal 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.

> 135 A (Sensor max.)

240A

300A:

H68xx-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

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. This increases the current measured by the transducer.

< 1 A (Sensor Min.)

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Solution

No Reading at Controller • Check sensor calibration (see above)

• Check for control voltage at sensor (<120 VAC/DC, <0.2 A)

• Check for amperage in monitored conductor (>1 A)

Setpoint screw has no

stops

Both LEDs are lit Setpoint screw is too far clockwise. See solution above.

The setpoint screw has a slip-clutch at both ends of its travel to

avoid damage. Twenty turns CCW will reset the sensor to be most sensitive. Repeat calibration above.
