CT IS CONNECTED TO A LOAD AT ALL TIMES WHEN CLAMPED TO AN ENERGIZED
CONDUCTOR. Current mode Current Transformers (CTs) such as those used
in this produc t can be damaged, or generate lethal voltages, if clamped
around current carrying conductors while the output leads are not properly terminated to a shorting device, or loaded, as by the H663SM main
board. Install wiring connec tors in accordance with manufacturer's specifica-
tions and instructions.
• Potential elec trocution hazard exists. Installing sensors in an energized
electrical panel, or on any energized conductor can be ha zardous. CT
outputs should not be connected to Operator Accessible circuits.
• Read instructions thoroughly prior to install
• This product is not intended for life or safety applications.
• This product is not intended for installation in hazardous or classified
locations and must be installed in an electrical and fire enclosure in accordance
with EN 61010-1.
Severe injury or death can result from electrical shock during contact with high
voltage conductors or related equipment. Disconnect and lock-out all power
sources during installation and service. Applications shown are suggested means
of installing sensors, but it is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the
installation is safe and in compliance with all national and local codes. Installation should be attempted only by individuals familiar with codes, standards,
and proper safety procedures for high-voltage installations.

OPERATION
Designed for the critical load monitoring such as Co-location Data Centers and
lighting panels, the H663 series monitors current on up to 42 branch circuits in
a 120/208/240 VAC electrical panel. By individually reporting current draw and
initiating capacity warnings and alarms, the H663 series allows the user to manage
loading and eliminate power disturbances caused by overloaded breakers.
The H663 series consists of a data acquisition system board and up to 42 individual
split-core current transformers (CTs). The acquisition board should be mounted inside the electrical panel, or in an enclosure mounted near enough for the CT output
leads to reach the acquisition board connectors. The CTs are clipped onto each of the
branch circuit conductors. These CTs transmit amperage data from each monitored
circuit to the acquisition system for processing.
Current and alarm information is transmitted to the user’s Control Data Acquisition
system over an RS485 drop using the Modbus protocol.
Set-up is made easy with a PC based configuration tool which allows for global or
individual selection of breaker size, warning levels, and alarm levels.
The H663 Series is a UL508 Listed open device without enclosure.
*For 240VAC Power connection versions, order catalog number H663SM-xxE
Numbered terminals correspond to the input channels of the acquisition
board. Fasten the current transformer connectors into the terminals as
shown in figure 3 on page 3.

9Modbus Address Dip Switches
Each Modbus device must have a unique address. These switches must be set
to assign an individual address before the device is connected to the network. (See page 5)
10 Lithium Battery
CAUTION! DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED. REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. DISPOSE OF
USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS.
11 TX LED

13Current Sensors
Each current sensor is capable of monitoring conductors carrying up to a
maximum of 50 amps.*
* The H663SM-42H is capable of monitoring conductors up to a maximum of 100 amps.
8Baud Rate & Parity Selection Switches
Field selectable RS-485 serial interface control.
(See Chart 1 on page 5)
*For 240VAC Power Connection versio n, order catalog number H663SM-xxE.
1. Snap split-core CT’s on branch circuit wires. (CT’s may need to be staggered).
2. Prepare 120VAC* 50/60Hz power leads and connect to line and neutral
terminals of the acquisition board. Allow wiring length to fit when board is
installed. DO NOT CONNECT LINE VOLTAGE UNTIL LAST STEP!
3. Connect current transformers to interconnection board terminals as shown in
Figure 3.
4. Acquisition Board Installation (see Figure 2)
Find screw holes under panel board in side of chassis or panel. Attach
Data Acquisition Board.

assembly/mounting bracket. Assure adeq uate clearance between live parts and this prod uct.
1. Communications Configuration
Communications parameters for the H663 series are field selectable for your
convenience. Please see Figure 1 (page 2, #8) for selector location. The following parameters are configurable:
■ Parity: Odd, even or none
■ Wiring: Two or four
■ Baud Rate: 2400, 4800, 9600 or 19200
Chart 1
Example: 2-wire 9600 Bau d No Parity (Default O nly)
2. Address Configuration
Each ModBus device on a single network must have a unique address. The
switch block must be set to assign a unique address before the device is connected to the ModBus RS485 network. If an address is selected which
conflicts with another device, neither device will be able to communicate.
H663 series can be addressed as any whole number between and including 1-247. Each unit is equipped with a set of 8 dip switches for addressing. See below.
The values of each dip switch are as follows:
1=1
2=2
3=4
4=8
5=16
6=32
7=64
8=128
To determine an address you simply add the values of any switch that is on.
For example:
Switch number 4 has an ON Value of 8 and switch number 6 has an ON Value of 32. (8+32 = 40)

See Chart 2 on the following page for a pictorial listing of the first 63 switch positions.
1. Connect 2-wire or 4-wire Modbus RS485 network (see Figure 4).
NOTES
A. The Modbus cable should be mechanically secured where it enters the
electrical panel.
B. All Modbus devices should be connected together in a daisy-chain fashion,
and properly terminated.
C. The Modbus cable should be shielded twisted pair wire such as Belden 1120A.
The cable must be voltage rated for the installation.
WARNING: After wiring the
Modbus cable, remove all scraps
of wire or foil shield from the
electrical panel. This could be
DANGEROUS if wire scraps
come into contact with
high voltage conductors!
