InPOWER DCS30 Series Owner's Manual

INTRODUCTION

The DCS30 Series family of Hall-effect DC current sensors is designed to operate standard 50 or 100 millivolt ammeters.
Although typically used in vehicle and marine applications to measure battery currents, they are suitable for any DC
current monitoring. The sensors measure positive and negative current values. Models are available for measuring
current ranges from +/- 100 amps up to +/- 600 amps, and they can output to either a +/- 50 millivolt meter or a +/- 100
millivolt meter.
Model Current Range
DCS30-100-1 ± 100 amps
DCS30-200-1 ± 200 amps
DCS30-300-1 ± 300 amps
DCS30-100-2 ± 100 amps
DCS30-200-2 ± 200 amps
DCS30-300-2 ± 300 amps
