SETPOINT ADJUSTMENT
The CurrentWatch™ ECS7 Series has an internal microprocessor
that "learns" your load characteristics and calibrates the setpoint and
setpoint window.
Initial Calibration
1. This product is shipped from the factory with Function Switch in
the "CLR" position, which clears the memory.
2. After installation is complete and the output is connected properly,
slide this switch into the "RUN" position.
3. Turn on the load. The LED indicator marked "CALIB/ALARM"
will fl ash slowly (about one fl ash every two seconds) during the
learning period. When this LED goes out, the sensor has been
calibrated.
Re-Calibration
If the load or conditions change, you may need to recalibrate the sensor.
Below are the steps for doing so.
1. Safety fi rst—turn load power off before recalibrating.
2. Slide the Function Switch to the "CLR" position.
3. Turn the load power back on for fi ve seconds, then turn it off. This
clears the memory.
4. Slide the Function Switch to the "RUN" position.
5. Turn the load back on. The sensor is now re-calibrated.
• Note: For special situations, re-calibration can be performed while
the load is running. Exercise extreme caution when placing your
hands into a high voltage environment! With the load running,
fl ip the Function Switch to the "CLR" position, wait fi ve seconds,
then move the Function Switch back to the "RUN" position. The
sensor will then re-calibrate.
