PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE
INSTALLATION!
WARNING
This product is not intended to be used for Life or
Safety applications.
This product is not intended for use in any
hazardous or classified locations.
The Current Switches must be used on Insulated
Conductors Only!
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect and lock out all power sources before
installation as severe injury or death may result
from electrical shock due to contact with high
voltage wires. Never rely on the LEDs to determine
whether power is present at the current switch. At
very low monitored input currents the LEDs may
not light.
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.
The current switch may be mounted in any position using
the two #8 x 3/4” Tek screws and the mounting holes in
the base, or snapped directly on to the 35mm DIN rail (See
Fig. 1). Leave a minimum distance of 1” (3 cm) between
the current switch and any other magnetic devices such as
contactors and transformers.

Latch Operation for Split Core
Models
Press down on the side tab and swing the top of the unit
up to open the split core current switch as shown in Fig. 2.
Press down firmly on the cover to close the current switch.
An audible “click” will be heard as the tab slides over the
tongue on the base.
