NOTES 

 

An extra jumper shunt is included. It can be discarded if not needed. 

 

In applications where high vibrations are encountered, Carrier recommends to use the jumper shunt without tab. A 
pliers can help with jumper shunt installation onto the pins.

Wiring Instructions 

 

 

Figure 4 

 

Carrier recommends the use of a two conductor 16 to 22 AWG shielded cable, copper wire only, for all Analog current 
sensor installations. A maximum wire length of less than 30 meters (98.4 feet) should be used between the current 
sensors and the Building Management System or controller. All wiring must comply with all local and National Electric 
Codes. 

NOTE

  When using a shielded cable, be sure to connect only (1) end of the shield to ground at the controller. Connecting 

both ends of the shield to ground may cause a ground loop. 

When removing the shield from the sensor end, make sure to properly trim the shield to prevent any chance of shorting. 
The current sensor terminals are polarity sensitive and represent a linear 0 to 5 or 0 to 10 VDC output signal. Tighten the 
screws at the terminal block connections to the recommended torque of 0.5 to 0.6 Nm (4.43 to 5.31 in-lbs.). The aperture 
(hole) size of the current sensor is 0.75” (1.90 cm).
