above 135 Amps.
Wire the output connec tions to the DDC controller or switched load. Note: 4.
Contacts are solid state and work like dry contacts. When the switch is closed, less
than 1 Ω is present. When the switch is open, more than 1 MΩ are present.

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.
INSTALLATION GUIDE
opEration
The H735 is a current-sensitive switching device with integral command relay that
monitors current (amperage) in the conductor passing through it. A change in
amperage in the monitored conductor that crosses the switch (setpoint) threshold
plus the hysteresis value will cause the resistance of the status output to change
state, similar to the action of a mechanical switch. This status information can be fed
back to a building controller that interprets the signal and separately switches the
relay. The status output can also be used to switch the relay directly.
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 30 volts. The H735 relay requires a 24VAC/VDC external power
supply for operation.
notEs
For load currents greater than sensor maximum rating:
Use a 5 Amp (H68xx series) Current Transformer (CT) as shown.
> 135A (Sensor max.)
calibration
Before beginning calibration, establish normal load conditions.
Then choose either A or B below.
A. To monitor under-current (belt loss, coupling shear, status)
1. Turn setpoint screw
clockwise until Status OPEN
LED turns ON.
2. Slowly turn the screw counter-clockwise until the Status CLOSED LED just
turns ON.
3.Turn the screw an
additional 1/4 turn
+
counter-clockwise for
operational margin.
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.
For load currents less than sensor minimum rating:
Wrap the monitored conductor through the center hole and around the sensor body
to produce multiple turns through the "window." This increases the current measured
by the transducer.
< 1 A (Sensor Min.)
Controller must be
programmed to account for the
extra turns. e.g., if four turns
pass through the sensor (as
shown) the normal controller
reading must be divided by 4.

2. Slowly turn the setpoint screw clockwise until the Status OPEN LED just turns ON.
3. Turn the setpoint

Problem Solution
No Reading at Controller • Check sensor calibration (see above)
• Check for control voltage at sensor (<30V)
• Check for amperage in monitored conductor (> 1A)
• Assure that sensor core mating surfaces are clean and
that the core clamp is completely closed
Setpoint screw has no stops The setpoint screw has a slip-clutch at both ends of its
Both LEDs are lit Setpoint screw is too far clockwise. See solution above.

travel to avoid damage. Twenty turns CCW will reset
the sensor to be most sensitive. Repeat calibration
above.
• Check voltage at relay coil (<24VAC/DC)
• Parallel applications with AC transformers can damage
the relay.
