INSTALLATION 1. Disconnect and lock out power to the conductor to be monitored. 2. Choose a location for the sensor. The monitored conductor must pass through the iris, and the sensor must be at least 1/2” from any conductors, as enclosure can reach 87°C during operation (at 200A and 60°C ambient temperature). Use wire rated at a minimum of 90°C. 3. Install the adjustable mounting bracket to the back of the enclosure using the included screws. 4. Connect 12-24 VDC to the terminals marked Power (+) and Gnd (-). 5. Wire the mA output connections between the sensor and the controller. 6. Snap the sensor over the conductor to be monitored and clip the assembly to the mounting bracket.

TM INSTALLATION GUIDE EA20 SERIES OPERATION The EA20 Series of current-sensitive devices monitor DC current (amperage) in the conductor passing through. These units use Pulse Reset Technology ™ with proven transducer circuitry to produce an output suitable for connection to energy management systems, building controllers, or other appropriate data acquisition equipment. The EA20 requires 12-24 VDC (see Specifications information) to generate its output. It comes factory calibrated at a fixed span for maximum accuracy (0-100 A, 0-150 A, or 0-200 A, depending on model, see Product Identification). The EA20 Series is ideal for DC current monitoring where accuracy must be maintained in the presence of magnetic fields, current spikes, and high fault currents (e.g. solar panels, electroplating equipment). The EA20 Series housing offers unprecedented mounting flexibility. The mounting bracket can be attached in three different places. Additionally, the bracket is compatible with the Veris AH01 DIN Rail clip, allowing DIN mounting. TROUBLESHOOTING ProblemSolution The LED is off and no signal is produced Verify that supply voltage is applied to PWR (+) and GND (-) terminals. The LED is on solid and the output is at maximum Verify that the unit is not attempting to monitor more than the maximum current range.

NOTES Load Currents Less Than 2 A 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 equipment to account for the extra turns, e.g., if four turns pass through the sensor (as shown) then divide the reading by 4. Wrapping may reduce the sensor’s accuracy. 4x 1A 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. High Load Current Monitoring Do not expose the EA20 to continuous current levels greater than the rated maximum current (brief current surges and fault currents should not adversely affect the EA20).Next >
