WIRING EXAMPLE
CONTACTOR
DDC CONTROLLER
DI
+
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. Drill holes to mount the bracket to the chosen surface using the included screws.
3. Wire the output connections and relay 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. Secure enclosure and reconnect power.
6. Calibrate sensor with load running normally.

H809
INSTALLATION GUIDE
OPERATION
The H809 is a current-sensitive switching device that monitors current (amperage)
in the conductor passing through it. A change in amperage in the monitored
conducter that crosses the switch threshold plus the hysteresis value will cause the
resistance of the status output to change state, similar to the action of a mechanical
switch. The setpoint is adjustable through the action of a 20-turn potentiometer
(see 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 H809 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.

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.

Problem Solution
No Reading at
Controller
Setpoint screw has
no stops
Both LEDs are lit Unit is out of calibration. Turn screw 20 turns CCW and recalibrate.
• Check sensor calibration (see above)
• Check for control power at sensor (<120 VDC)
• Check for amperage in monitored conductor (>0.75 A)
• Verify correct polarity
• 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.
