Automatically Learns At Initial Power-Up
H614
Maximize Reliability
The Hawkeye H614 is a microprocessor based, self-learning, selfcalibrating current-sensitive switching device designed for use with VFD
systems. At initial power-up, the H614 automatically learns the average
current on the line with no action required by the installer. Once a
current is learned, the switch monitors for changes in current greater
than ±20% of the learned load. When calibrated for a given VFD system,
the H614 is tolerant of gradual drifts in frequency due to expected
conditions, such as an accumulation of debris in a filter, while still
detecting a sudden drop due to a potential abnormal system condition
(e.g., belt loss or other mechanical failure).

1. VFD systems generate f ields that can disrupt electrical devices. Ensure that these fields
are minimized and are not affec ting the sensor.
2. The H614 is not intended for use in applications where the current is expected to
fluctuate by more than 20% due to acceptable causes other than VFD driven changes.
3. If the H614 experiences a momentary loss of power, the Alarm-to- Normal output delay
may exceed 1 sec.
4. The CE mark indicates RoHS2 compliance. Please refer to the CE Declaration of
Conformity for additional details.
Specification Note: For CE compliance, conductor shall be insulated according to
IEC 61010-1
The product design provides for basic insulation only. Use wire with minimum 75°C rated
insulation. Do not use the LED status indicators as evidence of applied voltage.
This sensor detects abnormal operation by look ing for sudden changes in current across
the entire frequency range. In Learn mode, the sensor calculates a margin 20% above and
20% below the learned frequency curve. An abnormal condition in the circuit is one that
falls outside this margin.

NOTE: The H614 is not
intended for use in staged

and other applications in
which the amperage changes
under normal operation,
independent of frequency.

HOW IT WORKS
During setup, the H614 automatically determines the normal
amperage and frequency prole and stores it in memory. Then the
microprocessor monitors for amperage changes greater than ±20%
of this learned curve, indicating a potential system failure.
ORDERING INFORMATION
1. If the current is above 1.5 A, but neither LED is illuminated, the H614 is considered to be in on/off status mode.
2. Listed for use on 75°C insulated conduc tors.

USAGE EXAMPLE
The H614 is designed for HVAC fan and blower systems, as well as some
single stage pumping systems involving consistent viscosity liquids. If an
H614 is installed on one phase of the VFD, it detects changes in that phase
that result from the VFD compensating for changes elsewhere in the system.
Alternatively, for increased sensitivity, H614s can be used on all three phases
for immediate detection of phase balance changes anywhere in the system.
