CALIBRATION

For load currents less than sensor minimum rating:

Wrap the monitored conductor through the center window and around the sensor
body to produce multiple turns through the window. This increases the current
measured by the switch.

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

To manually learn
normal load:

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.

OPERATION

The H10F is a over-current and under-current monitor intended for use with a PLC or
other system controller. The current switch learns the nominal amperage on the line,
then monitors for amperage changes greater than ±20% of the learned value. If the
amperage goes out of the normal range, the current switch changes output state,
raising an alarm in the system controller. This alarm state persists until the amperage
comes back to within ±15% of the learned value for 30 seconds to ensure that the
system has truly returned to normal operation. The status output is suitable for
connection to system controllers or other data acquisition equipment operating at up
to 1A and 30VDC. The H10F requires no external power supply to generate its output.

NOTES

For load currents greater than sensor maximum rating:

Use a 5 Amp (H68xx series) Current Transformer (CT) as shown. This technique can be
combined with wrapping (see below) to add range for a low current load on a high
current source.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem

Solution

No Reading at Controller

• Check sensor calibration (see above)
• Check for control voltage at sensor (<30V)
• Check for amperage in monitored conductor (> 3.5A)
• Assure that sensor core mating surfaces are clean and that

the core clamp is completely closed

Establish normal load conditions.

OK!

OK!

First Time Power Up:

No calibration needed, unit will automatically learn normal

load when powered.

To reset automatic
learn mode (normal
load conditions):

>5 s

>30 s

STOP

alternating red & green

When only the GREEN LED blinks, the unit is measuring normal current.

At next power-up, unit will automatically learn normal load.

>100A (sensor max.)

< 3.5A (sensor min.)

Program controller to account for the extra
turns. e.g., if four turns pass through the
sensor (as shown), then divide the normal
controller reading by 4.
