SAFETY
WARNING
For CSS-O,C ensure that all power sources are
disconnected and locked out before installation as
severe injury or death may result from electrical
shock due to contact with high voltage wires.
CAUTION
This product is not intended to be used for life or
safety applications.
CAUTION
This product is not intended for use in any
hazardous or classified locations.
INSTALLATION
Make sure that all installations are in compliance with all
national and local electrical codes. Only qualified individuals
that are familiar with codes, standards and proper safety
procedures for high voltage installations should attempt
installation. The current switches will not require external
power, since the power for the current switch is induced from
the conductor being monitored.
WARNING
Never rely on the LEDs to determine whether
power is present at the current switch. The red
LED will indicate whether the current is above the
adjustable trip point. The green LED will indicate
whether the current is below the adjustable trip
point.
IMPORTANT
The current switch should be used on insulated con-
ductors only!
The current switch may be mounted in any position using the
(2) #8 x 3/4 in. (19 mm) Tek screws and the mounting holes in
the base or snapped directly on to the 1-3/8 in. (35 mm) DIN
rail (See Figures 3 and 4). Leave a minimum distance of 1 in.
(25 mm) between the current switch and any other magnetic
devices, such as contactors and transformers.
For applications in which the normal operating current is
below the 0.8/2.0 Amps trip point (See Fig. 5), the conductor
being monitored may be looped through the sensor 6/12 times
giving you a total operating current of 6/12 times the original
current.
Example:
A small fan operating at 0.2 Amps can be wrapped through
the sensor 6 times to give you a total operating current of
1.2 Amps flowing through the CSS-O-A300-001. Another
option is to use CSS-O-A200-001.
A small fan operating at 0.2 Amps can be wrapped through
the sensor 16 times to give you a total operating current of
3.2 Amps flowing through the CSP-O-A300-001. Another
option is to use the CSP-O-A200-001.
