INSTALLATION
Disconnect and lock out power to 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 1/2” from any uninsulated conductors.
Determine cable routing for the output connection, allowing wiring to reach the
mounting location.

H909HV
INSTALLATION GUIDE
OPERATION
The H909HV is a current-sensitive switching device that monitors current (amperage)
in the conductor passing through it. A change in amperage in the monitored
conductor which crosses the switch (trip point) threshold plus the hysteresis value
will cause the resistance of the status output to change state, similar to the ac tion 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 H909HV requires no external power
supply to generate its output.
The H909HV housing oers unprecedented mounting exibility. The mounting
bracket can be attached in three dierent places. Additionally, the bracket is
compatible with the Veris AH01 DIN Rail clip, allowing DIN mounting.
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) when added safety is desired 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.
Program controller to account
for the extra turns. e.g., if four
turns pass through the sensor
(as shown) divide the normal
controller reading by 4.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Solution
No Reading at Controller • Check sensor calibration (see above)
• Check for control voltage at sensor (250V)
• Check for amperage in monitored conductor (> 2.5A)
• Assure that sensor core mating surfaces are clean and
that the core clamp is completely closed
