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 1/2” from any uninsulated conductors.
Determine cable routing for the controller connection, allowing wiring to reach
the mounting location.
NOTICE
• This product is not intended for life or safety applications.
• Do not install this product in hazardous or classified locations.
• The installer is responsible for conformance to all applicable codes.
• Mount this product inside a suitable fire and electrical enclosure.

2. Drill holes to mount the bracket to the chosen surface using the included screws.
3. Set the desired amperage range (20, 100, or 150 Amps).
4. Wire the output connections between the sensor and the controller (0-10VDC).
5. Snap the sensor over the conductor to be monitored and clip the assembly to the
mounting bracket.
6. Scale the controller software to match the sensor output.
7. Secure enclosure and reconnect power.

INSTALLATION GUIDE
OPERATION
The H923 is a current transducer that senses current (amperage) in any of three
eld-selectable ranges; 0-to-20, 0-to-100, or 0-to-150 Amps. These ranges represent
the maximum current that can be applied to the monitored conduc tor. The H923
transforms the monitored current into a 0 to 10 VDC output suitable for connection
to building controllers or other appropriate data acquisition equipment. The H923
requires no external power supply to generate its output.
The H923 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) to add range for a low current load on a high
current source.

SCALING
1. Set range switch.
DANGER: 5A CTs can present hazardous voltages.
Install CTs in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
Terminate the CT secondary before applying current.
2. Scale controller
software to match
selected output.
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,
< 1.5 A (Sensor Min.)
1A
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 polarity of sensor output connections
• Check for output voltage at sensor
• Check for amperage in monitored conductor
• Assure that sensor core mating surfaces are clean and
that the core clamp is completely closed
