WARNING
For CTS-20 Series current sensors, 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.

INSTALLATION
Fig. 1. Sensor placed on DIN rail
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 sensor is a 2-
wire, 4 to 20 mA Loop Powered device that requires a
regulated +12 to 30 Vdc external power source.
3X
IMPORTANT
The current switch should be used on insulated
conductors only!
The current sensors may be mounted in any position
using the two (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
sensor and any other magnetic devices such as
contactors and transformers.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
No reading
Solution
•
Confirm that you have +12 to 30 Vdc in series with the current sensor output terminals
and the analog input of the control panel.
•
•
•
Check the polarity of the circuit.
Verify that the terminals are screwed down, wires are firmly in place.
Disconnect the input to the control panel and then insert a current meter (mA range) in
series with the current sensor output to verify that the circuit is working properly.
Erratic readings
•
•
Verify that the wires are terminated properly.
Check that the +12 to 30 Vdc input is clean. 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 CONVERSION FORMULA
To convert the current sensor output signal to a current
reading.
Current reading = mA output/20 mA x Amp Span.
For example:
For a reading of 4 mA with a 0-250 Amp span:
Current reading = (4 mA/20 mA) x 250 A = 0 Amp.
(0/16) X 250 = 0
NOTE: 4 mA = 0 Amps
20 mA = 250 Amps
