Power Supply Notes
All low-current Ground-Fault Sensors are sensitive devices
that require reasonable care in system design to avoid false
trips caused by high electrical noise levels. Keep in mind
that the best way to reduce noise in a system is to suppress
it at its source.
1. Keep the sensor power isolated from noisy circuits.
2. Do not power the sensor with the same circuit that switches
contactors or other high current, inductive loads.
System Grounding
Good design practice and code require that all AC power
systems be grounded. AGV Series sensors are designed to
work on grounded AC power systems. They will not operate
properly on ungrounded systems.

Ground Fault Sensors
For VFD Driven Loads
Quick "How To" Guide
1
. Pass all current carrying conductors include neutral
return not ground return through sensor window.
2. Mount the sensor to a surface if needed.
3. Connect output & power wiring to unit.
A. Use 22-14 AWG copper wires rated for 75°C mini-
mum.
B. Make sure power and load matches those shown on
the senors' label.
C. Set the desired trip point using the slide switch to
choose 30, 50, or 100 mA setting.
4. Energize the monitored circuit. Add delay before
the output changes state as required by turning pot
clockwise, arrow pointing to the seconds added.
5. Test
A. Pressing the "TEST" button tests the sensor's
internal circuits. CAUTION: The output and any
connected loads will switch! The LED shows red
when a fault is detected or test button is pressed.
B. For latching output models (-LA), momentarily
shorting between the "reset" terminals will release
the latched output contact. Do not apply voltage to
the reset terminals.
