Description
The ECS Series of Single Phase AC Current Sensors is a universal, overcurrent or undercurrent sensing control.
Its built-in toroidal sensor eliminates the inconvenience of installing a stand-alone current transformer. Includes
onboard adjustments for current sensing mode, trip point, and trip delay. Detects over or under current events like
locked rotor, loss of load, an open heater or lamp load, or proves an operation is taking place or has ended.
Operation
Input voltage must be supplied at all times for proper
operation. When a fault is sensed throughout the trip
delay, the output relay is energized. When the current
returns to the normal run condition, the output and the
delay are reset. If a fault is sensed and then corrected
before the trip delay is completed, the relay will not
energize and the trip delay is reset to zero.
Adjustment
Select the desired function, over or under current
sensing. Set the trip point and trip delay to approximate
settings. Apply power to the ECS and the monitored
load. Turn adjustment and watch the LED. LED will
light; turn slightly in opposite direction until LED is off.
Adjustment can be done while connected to the control
circuitry if the trip delay is set at maximum.
See accessory pages for
specifications.

Multiple Turns To Increase Sensitivity
To increase sensitivity, multiple turns may be made through the ECS’s toroidal
sensor. The trip point range is divided by the number of turns through the
toroidal sensor to create a new range.
Using an External Current Transformer (CT)
Select a 2 VA, 0 to 5 A output CT, rated for the current to be monitored. Select
ECS adjustment range 0. Pass the CT’s secondary wire lead through the ECS’s
toroid and connect both ends together.
