WIRING EXAMPLE

DI
(Status)
DO
(Relay
Coil)
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 1/2” from any uninsulated conductors.
Determine cable routing for the controller connection, allowing wiring to reach
the mounting location.
2. Route the conductor through the sensor’s center window and slip the assembly
into the mounting bracket. Terminate the conductor. See Notes (page 2) for
currents under 1 Amp or above 135 Amps.
3. Wire the output connections to the DDC controller or switched load (solid state
contact).
4. Secure enclosure and reconnect power.
5. Calibrate the sensor (see Calibration section).

INSTALLATION GUIDE
OPERATION
The H758 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). An integrated relay allows start/
stop control. The status output is suitable for connection to building controllers or
other appropriate data acquisition equipment operating at up to 30 volts. The H758
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.

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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Solution
No Reading at Controller • Check sensor calibration (see above)
• Check for control voltage at sensor (<30 V)
• 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.
