TECH TIPS
On low current loads, wrap sensor multiple
times to increase sensitivity
CAUTION: Do not exceed sensor
maximum current. The current
detected by the sensor will
increase 1X with each wrap.
To monitor loads greater than the current sensor
maximum rating
Use a properly rated 5A CT as shown below
CAUTION!
5A CTs can present
hazardous voltages. Install
CTs in accordance with
manufacturers instructions.
Terminate the CT secondary
wiring before energizing
primary conductor.

OPERATION
The C-2300 output changes state whenever current above 0.35A is
present. This provides “go/no” status on loads that are not subject to
mechanical failures.
Typical on/off status applications include:
z
Lighting circuits
z
Heater elements
z
Direct drive fans (e.g. exhaust fans)
z
Process motors

Testing with ohm meter
yields incorrect results
Solid state output may show
approx. 1 ohm or less.
