Install the mounting bracket to the back of the electrical enclosure, no closer than 2. 1/2” (12mm) to an uninsulated conductor. Slide the conductor to be monitored through the sensing hole of the current 3. switch. Terminate the conductor. See Notes (page 2) for currents under 1 Amp or above 135 Amps. Wire the output connections to the DDC controller or switched load. Note: 4. Contacts are solid state and work like dry contacts. When the switch is closed, less than 1 Ω is present. When the switch is open, more than 1 MΩ are present. Reconnect power.5.

A change in amperage in the monitored conductor that crosses the switch (setpoint) threshold plus the hysteresis value will cause the resistance of the status output to change state, similar to the action of a mechanical switch. This status information can be fed back to a building controller that interprets the signal and separately switches the relay. The status output can also be used to switch the relay directly. In this model, the setpoint is adjustable through the action of a twenty (20) turn potentiometer (see the CALIBRATION section). The status output is suitable for connection to building controllers or other appropriate data acquisition equipment operating at up to 30 volts. The H735 relay requires a 24VAC/VDC external power supply for operation. notEs troublEshooting ProblemSolution No Reading at Controller• Check sensor calibration (see above) • Check for control voltage at sensor (<30V) • Check for amperage in monitored conductor (> 1A) • Assure that sensor core mating surfaces are clean and that the core clamp is completely closed Setpoint screw has no stopsThe setpoint screw has a slip-clutch at both ends of its travel to avoid damage. Twenty turns CCW will reset the sensor to be most sensitive. Repeat calibration above. Both LEDs are litSetpoint screw is too far clockwise. See solution above. Relay chatters or will not change state • Check voltage at relay coil (<24VAC/DC) • Parallel applications with AC transformers can damage the relay. For load currents less than sensor minimum rating: Wrap the monitored conductor through the center hole and around the sensor body to produce multiple turns through the "window." This increases the current measured by the transducer. 4x 0.5A DANGER: 5A CTs can present hazardous voltages. Install CTs in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. Terminate the CT secondary before applying current. H68xx-5A CT 240A 300A: 5A > 135A (Sensor max.) For load currents greater than sensor maximum rating: Use a 5 Amp (H68xx series) Current Transformer (CT) as shown. 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. calibration A. To monitor under-current (belt loss, coupling shear, status) A OK! ! 1. Turn setpoint screw clockwise until Status OPEN LED turns ON. 2. Slowly turn the screw counter-clockwise until the Status CLOSED LED just turns ON. 3.Turn the screw an additional 1/4 turn counter-clockwise for operational margin. B. To monitor over-current (mechanical problems, seized impeller) A OK! ! 3. Turn the setpoint screw an additional 1/4 turn clockwise for operational margin. 1.Turn setpoint screw counter-clockwise until Status CLOSED LED turns ON. 2. Slowly turn the setpoint screw clockwise until the Status OPEN LED just turns ON. OK! STATUS OK!
