Troubleshooting 

 

Problem 

Solution 

No reading 

 

Verify that there is current -owing through the conductor being monitored 
with a clamp-on current probe. The power for the current sensor is 
induced from the conductor being monitored. 

 

Check the polarity of the circuit. 

 

Verify that the terminals are screwed down, wires are firmly in place. 

 

Disconnect the wires from the current sensor output. Measure the 
voltage across the current sensor output with a Voltmeter to verify that 
the sensor is working properly. 

Erratic readings 

 

Verify that the wires are terminated properly. 

 

In areas of high RF interference, shielded cable may be necessary to 
stabilize signal. 

Inaccurate readings 

If you suspect that the current sensor is not reading within the accuracy 
specifications, please contact the factory for assistance. 

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

 

Visually check the mating parts of the core to ensure there is no debris 
between the split contacts. See Figure 2. 

 

Remove all debris or dust manually and close the current sensor. 

 

Continue to 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.
