Wiring Diagrams
Connect control or monitoring wires to the sensor. Use 12-22 AWG
copper wire and tighten terminals to 4.5 in.-lbs / 0.51 N·m maximum
torque. Be sure the output load does not exceed the switch rating.
CAUTION!
INCANDESCENT LAMPS CAN HAVE “COLD FILAMENT INRUSH” CURRENT OF
UP TO TEN TIMES THEIR RATED AMPERAGE. USE CAUTION WHEN SWITCHING
LAMP LOADS CONNECTED TO THE SOLID-STATE OUTPUT.
CAUTION!
DO NOT DISCONNECT OUTPUT TERMINALS UNDER LOAD.

Troubleshooting
Problem
Solution
Switch is
always
tripped.
The jumper may be set in a range that is too low for current being moni-
tored. Move jumper to the correct range.
The setpoint may be too low. Turn pot clockwise to increase setpoint.
Switch may have been overloaded and contacts are burned out. Check
the output load, remembering to include inrush on inductive loads (coils,
motors, ballasts).
Switch will
not trip.
The jumper may be set in a range that is too high for current being
monitored. Move jumper to the correct range.
The setpoint may be too high. Turn pot counter-clockwise to decrease
setpoint.
Unit might not be powered. Check power supply, power wiring, and
green Power LED on switch.
Switch may have been overloaded and contacts are burned out. Check
the output load, remembering to include inrush on inductive loads (coils,
motors, ballasts).
