Specifications - Installation and Operating Instructions

Series SCS Current Switches

The Series SCS Low Cost Current Switches are ideal for monitoring
whether fans, pumps, or motors are operating. The current flowing through
the core of the device powers the circuit without an external power supply.
All models have a built in solid state output and are easy to install. Optional
LED’s and 10 Amp relay modules are available. The Series SCS is available
in both Split and Solid Core configurations.

The Series SCS Current Switches are intended to provide an input to
equipment under normal operating conditions. Where failure or malfunction
of the current switch could lead to personal injury or property damage to
the controlled equipment or other property, additional precautions must be
designed into the control system. Incorporate and maintain other devices
such as supervisory or alarm systems or safety or limit controls intended to
warn of, or protect against, failure or malfunction of the SCS.

Caution: Risk of Shock
Disconnect power supply before making electrical connections.
Contact with components carrying hazardous voltage can cause
electrical shock and may result in severe personal injury or
death.

Detach the plastic mounting bracket from the current switch housing.
Using the two included screws, attach the mounting bracket to the
rear of the electrical panel or enclosure.
Re-attach the current switch housing to the plastic mounting bracket.

Disconnect the power to the conductor cable from the power source.
For solid core devices, slide the power conductor cable through the
sensing hole of the current switch.
For split core devices, open the core using the release tab. Snap the
core closed around the power conductor cable. Make sure that the
core release tab is locked in its original position.
Wire the Series SCS output terminals to the control box Digital Input
(DI) terminal (30 V max. terminal voltage). For snap-on relay models,
see figures 3 and 4 for wiring information.
Reconnect the power conductor cable.
