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 device at least ½” (13 mm) from any uninsulated conductors.
Determine cable routing for the controller connection, allowing wiring to reach
the mounting location.

4. Route the conductor through the sensor’s center window and slip the assembly
into the mounting bracket.
5. Secure the enclosure and reconnect power.
6. Calibrate the sensor (see page 2) with the load running normally.

H709H V
INSTALLATION GUIDE
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The H709HV 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 (trip point) plus the hysteresis value
causes the resistance of the status output to change state, similar to the action of a
mechanical switch. In this model, the trip point 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 250 volts. The H709HV 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.

H681x-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.
Program the 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Solution
No reading at controller • Check for control voltage at sensor (<250 VAC, <1.0 A)
• Check for amperage in monitored conductor (>1 A)
• Verify that the setpoint is not above operating amps by
turning the setpoint screw counter-clockwise (up to 20
turns) until the contacts close (Status Closed LED turns
on). Resume calibration from the beginning.
