Safety This product is not intended to be used for Life or Safety applications. This product is not intended for use in any hazardous or classified locations. Disconnect and lock out all power sources before installation as severe injury or death may result from electricalshock due to contact with high voltage wires. InstallationMake sure that all installations are in compliance with all national and local electrical codes. Only qualified individuals that arefamiliar with codes, standards, and proper safety procedures for high-voltage installations should attempt installation. Thecurrent sensor is a 2-wire Loop Powered device that requires a regulated +12 to 30VDC external power source.The A/SCTA Series Analog Current Sensors should be used on Insulated Conductors Only! The current sensors may bemounted in any position using the (2) #8 x 3/4” Tek screws and the mounting holes in the base or snapped directly on to the 35mmDIN rail (See Figures 1 & 2 below). Leave a minimum distance of 1” (3 cm) between the current sensor and any other magneticdevices such as contactors and transformers.3XUSCLISTEDIND.

Lifting up on the latch with a flat-tip screwdriver as shown in Figure 4 below can also open the unit. Press down firmly onthe cover to close the current sensor. An audible “click” will be heard as the tab slides over the tongue on the base.Caution: Mating surfaces of the magnetic core are exposed when the sensor is open. Silicone grease, present on the cores toprevent rust, can capture grit and dirt if care is not exercised. Operation can be impaired if anything prevents good contactbetween pole pieces. Visually check the mating parts of the core before closing the current sensor.ACI A/SCTA-53JHXIND.CONT.EQ.LISTEDUSCA/SCTA-5Middl eton, WIACIAut omation Components, Inc.CIND.CONT.EQ.LISTEDUS3JHXLISTEDIND.CONT.EQ.3JHXAutomation Components, Inc.Middleton, WIC USFigure 3: Opening Sensor by Hand Figure 4: Opening w/ Screwdriver!!
