Overview: The document describes C-mac current switches and sensors, which integrate current
transformers with control electronics. These devices are designed to eliminate the need for external control relays or signal converters by directly connecting to standard process control equipment.
Specifications: The units can monitor up to 200 Amps continuously and are available in solid core and split core variants. They feature selectable metering ranges and provide either AC/DC or AC outputs. The current sensors offer a 4-20 mA output proportional to the RMS value of the primary current.
Available Variants:- Solid Core Switch Units: CS410 (AC/DC switch, 30 VAC/40 VDC, 500 mA), CS325 (AC switch, 250 VAC, 1 A).
- Split Core Switch Units: SC510 (AC/DC switch, 30 VAC/40 VDC, 500 mA), SC325 (AC switch, 250 VAC, 1 A).
- Current Sensors: CS475 (solid core, 4-20 mA, 10-42 VDC), SC575 (split core, 4-20 mA, 10-42 VDC).
Technical Data:- Range Selection: Various jumper settings allow for different maximum continuous and short-term current ratings.
- Hysteresis and Delay: Hysteresis is 2% with varying reaction delays and leakage currents depending on the model.
- Frequency and Isolation: Operates at 10-400 Hz with a primary-secondary circuit isolation of 2.5 kV AC.
- Environmental Conditions: Operating temperature is 0-70°C with humidity up to 95% RH.
Installation Notes: For inductive loads, a diode must be connected across the load. The CS325 and SC325 models include a built-in snubber circuit. The units require a minimum of 10 VDC for internal electronics, with additional voltage based on the output load's resistance.
Mechanical Dimensions: Detailed dimensions are provided for CS4xx and SC units.
