Application Examples 

See Figure 5 and Figure 6  for two different current switch applications. Figure 5 shows the use of the Go/No Go Current 
Switch as a Digital Input to your BAS/PLC Controller. Figure 6 shows a Go/No/Go Current Switch in conjunction with a 
Contactor to control an exhaust fan. 

NOTE

  The Go/No Go Current switches are only rated at 0.2A @ 200 VAC/VDC and must use an additional Contactor if 

controlling motor/fans. 

 

 

Troubleshooting 

 

Problem 

Solution 

LED is 

on but the current switch didn’t activate 

Disconnect the wires from the current switch output. 
Measure the resistance across the contacts with an 
Ohmmeter. See Specifications table for the actual 
resistance readings for an open or closed switch reading. 

L

ED didn’t turn on and the current switch didn’t 

activate 

Verify that the current flowing in the conductor being 
monitored is above the fixed trip point as listed in the 
operating specifications. If the sensor is monitoring less 
than the fixed trip point, see Figure 3. 

LED not on but the Current Switch is Activated 

LED not indicating correctly, may have been damaged. 

Current Switch is operating at a low-level current or 
failing to operate within the accuracy specifications 

For NSA-A/ASCS2 Series, visually check the mating parts 
of the core to ensure there is no debris between the split 
contacts. Remove all debris or dust manually and close 
the current sensor, see Figure 2. Retest the sensor in your 
application. 

 

 

W.E.E.E. Directive 

 

At the end of their useful life the packaging and product should be disposed of via a suitable recycling center. Do not 
dispose of with household waste. Do not burn.
