CS-425-HC Series – Installation Instructions
INTRODUCTION
The High Current Switch / Dryer Fan Control is a solid-state current switches
with N.O. triac outputs to control high current line-voltage AC loads. All
models have a factory set trip level of approximately 1 Amp and require no
field adjustment for easy installation. Internal circuits are powered by
induction from the line being monitored
The High Current Switch / Dryer Fan Control series can operate a dryer booster
fan directly. These devices sense when a clothes dryer is drawing 1 Amp of
current and then closes the output switch to activate the dryer vent booster
fan. When the dryer cycle is complete and the current drops below the
threshold, the output switch will open or remain closed for a pre-set delay
time to allow heat to be removed from the vent before the switch is opened
again. The device output can switch 120 Vac loads up to 2.5 Amps. All models
are UL certified.
WARNING
- Electric Shock Hazard, Use Caution
- Disconnect and lock out power before installation
- Follow national and local electrical codes
- Read and understand these instructions before installing
- Installation only by qualified electrical personnel
- Do not rely on this device to indicate line power
- Only install this device on insulated conductors
- Only install on 600 Vac maximum conductors
- Do not use this device for life-safety applications
- Do not install in hazardous or classified locations
- Install this product in a suitable electrical enclosure
- Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death.
INSTALLATION
Read all warnings before beginning. Ensure the selected device has the correct
ratings for application.
Select a convenient location, with-in or adjacent to the breaker panel.
Alternatively he sensor can be installed inside the dryer electrical
compartment. Refer to Figure 4 through 7 for typical installations.
Mount the sensor with two screws through the base. The base has integrated
mounting tabs to allow screw mount to a surface. If predrilling is required,
the actual device may be used to mark holes. The mounting holes in the base
will accommodate up to a #10 size screw (Not supplied). See Figure 1.
For 3-Phase systems, Disconnect and loop the neutral power wire, white,
through the current sensor and reconnect. Connect the fan power supply, as
shown 120 Vac max, to the top terminals of the current sensor. See Figure 2
For 220 Vac 3-wire single-phase systems, Determine which of the Hot wires is
active for the dryer only. (this is necessary for stacked washer/dryer units).
Verify that there is sufficient current to trip the current switch (minimum of
1 amp). If required the wire can be looped through twice to increase the
current read by the switch. Connect the fan power supply, as shown 120 Vac
max, to the top terminals of the current sensor. See Figure 3.
