The H906 is a current-sensitive switching device which monitors current (amperage) 
in the conductor passing through it. A change in amperage in the monitored 
conductor which crosses the switch (setpoint) threshold plus the hysteresis value will 
cause the resistance of the FET status output to change state, similar to the action of 
a mechanical switch. In this model, the setpoint is adjustable through the action of a 
twenty (20) turn potentiometer (see the CALIBRATION section). The status output is 
suitable for connection to building controllers, or other appropriate data acquisition 
equipment operating at up to 30 volts. The H906 requires a 5-30VDC external power 
supply to generate its output.

OPERATION

NOTES

TROUBLESHOOTING

CALIBRATION

For load currents less than sensor minimum rating:

 

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

•  Controller must be 
programmed to account 
for the extra turns. e.g., if 
four turns pass through the 
sensor (as shown) the normal 
controller reading must be 
divided by 4.

DANGER: 

5A CTS CAN PRESENT HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES. 

INSTALL CTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH MANUFACTURER'S 

INSTRUCTIONS. 

TERMINATE THE CT SECONDARY BEFORE APPLYING 

CURRENT.

> 135A (H906 max.)

For load currents greater than sensor maximum rating:

 

Use a 5 Amp (H681x series) Current Transformer (CT) as shown. External power supply 

not shown.

Problem

Solution

No Reading at Controller

• Check sensor calibration (see above)
• Check for control power at sensor 

(5VDC<voltage<30V)

• Check for amperage in monitored conductor (> 2.5A)
• Assure that sensor core mating surfaces are clean and 

that the core clamp is completely closed

Setpoint screw has no stops

The setpoint screw has a slip-clutch at both ends of its 

travel to avoid damage. Twenty turns CCW will reset 

the sensor to be most sensitive. Repeat calibration 

above.

Both LEDs are lit

Setpoint screw is too far clockwise. See solution above.

Establish Normal Load Conditions

To monitor under-current (belt loss, coupling shear, status)

OK!

OK!

1. 

Turn setpoint screw clockwise  

  until Status CLOSED LED  

  turns ON.

Turn the screw an 

additional ¼ turn 

counter-clockwise for 

operational margin.

To monitor over-current (mechanical problems, seized impeller)

 Turn the setpoint 

screw an additional 

¼ turn clockwise for 

operational margin.

1. 

Turn setpoint screw  

 

  counter-clockwise until  

  Status OPEN LED turns ON.

2. 

S-l-o-w-l-y turn the setpoint screw clockwise until the Status  

  CLOSED LED just turns ON.

OK!
