PRECAUTIONS
• This product is not intended to be used for
Life or Safety applications.
• This product is not intended for use in any
hazardous or classi ed locations.
• The A/CS2 and A/SCS2 Series Current Switches
must be used on Insulated Conductors Only.
HIGH VOLTAGE
• 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 Red LED to determine
whether power is present at the current
switch. At very low monitored input currents
the Red LED may not light to indicate the
current is above the trip point.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The ACI Fixed "Status" Current switches are
designed for use in any AC current monitoring
application in which you are looking for a "Go/No
Go" or On/O
status for a particular piece of
equipment.
The current switches should be
installed on the line side of the power to the motor,
pump, compressor or other equipment. The current
switches are available in both solid and split-core
versions which also includes a Patented 35 mm Din
Rail mounting foot for easy installation in panel
mount applications. The
switches can also be used to determine the run time
of your equipment and basic load trending
applications where you want to know when your piece of equipment runs and for how long it runs for
when logging the contact closures on your building management system or PLC.
INSTALLATION
Ensure all installations are in compliance with all national and local electrical codes. Only quali ed
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 because the
power for the current switch is induced from the conductor being monitored.
