Product Overview The H6ECM is a current-sensitive switching device that monitors current (amperage) in the conductor passing through it. A change in amperage in the monitored conductor that crosses the switch threshold causes the resistance of the FET status output to change state, similar to the action of a mechanical switch. The status output is suitable for connection to building controllers or other appropriate data acquisition equipment operating at up to 30 volts. The product requires no external power supply to generate its output. Electrically Commutated Motors (ECMs) are increasingly common as more energy conservation measures are implemented. The ECM is a brushless DC motor that is supplied AC power, converts that power to DC current and uses electronic switching to control the motor rotation. The ECM shaft speed can be reduced to save energy, resulting in lower cost and less component wear. The H6ECM is optimized to provide meaningful proof of rotation which verifies that the ECM motor is operating as expected.

Installation Guide Current Monitoring ECM Series: H6ECM TM 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 product at least 1” (13 mm) from any uninsulated conductors. Determine cable routing for the controller connection, allowing the wiring to reach the mounting location. 2. Drill holes to mount the bracket to the chosen surface using the included screws. 3. Wire the output connections from the sensor to the controller (solid- state contact). 4. Snap the sensor over the conductor and clip the assembly to the mounting bracket. 5. Secure the enclosure and reconnect power. 6. Confirm the operation of the sensor with the load running normally.

Installation Guide Current Monitoring ECM Series: H6ECM TM Operation Check Troubleshooting ProblemSolution No reading at controller• Check operation (see above) • Check for control voltage at sensor (<30V, <1A) • Check for amperage in monitored conductor (> threshold) • Assure that sensor core mating surfaces are clean and that the core clamp is completely closed Status outputs incorrectIf the status outputs are not seen as described above, the ECM may have “keep alive current” greater than the current sensor threshold. Record the actual AC supply current flow to the ECM when the motor is not rotating (a current measurement device may be needed). This is called the “keep alive current”. For most ECM products, this is less than 0.5A. If the current seen is greater than the threshold, contact Veris Customer Support. A higher setpoint current monitoring switch product may be needed. 1. Issue a command to the ECM to rotate at normal operation speed and confirm that the motor shaft is rotating. 2. The status output of the H6ECM series product should be CLOSED (conductivity exists between terminals). 3. Issue a command to the ECM to stop rotation and confirm that the motor shaft is not rotating. 4. The status of the H6ECM series product should be OPEN (no conductivity exists between terminals).Next >
