Only qualified individuals that arefamiliar with codes, standards, and proper safety procedures for high-voltage installations should attempt installation. The currentswitches will not require external power, since the power for the current switch is induced from the conductor being monitored.Warning: Never rely on the LEDs to determine whether power is present at the current switch. The Red LED willindicate whether the current is above the adjustable trip point. The Green LED will indicate whether thecurrent is below the adjustable trip point.The A/ASCS Series Current Switches should be used on Insulated Conductors Only! The current switch may be mounted in anyposition using the (2) #8 x 3/4” Tek screws and the mounting holes in the base or snapped directly on to the 35mm DIN rail (SeeFigures 1 & 2 below). Leave a minimum distance of 1” (3 cm) between the current switch and any other magnetic devices such ascontactors and transformers.Automation Components, Inc.3JHXIND.CONT.EQ.LISTEDC USA/ASCSMiddleton, WIACI3X3XLISTEDC USIND.CONT.
