OPERATION
MICRO SWITCH CS series solid state cur-
rent sensors monitor either alternating
(AC) or direct (DC) current. This series
includes a wide assortment of devices
ranging from digital output current detec-
tors capable of sensing a few hundred
milliamps to linear sensors capable of
monitoring over one thousand amps. The
entire family of CS current sensors pro-
vides a means of accurate low-cost cur-
rent sensing.
Current sensors monitor current flow.
Digital sensors produce a digital output
signal. Linear sensors produce an analog
output signal. When these signals have
reached a predetermined level, the con-
trol system logic is instructed to perform a
function. The digital signal with its logic
level output may sound an alarm, start a
motor, open a valve, or shut down a
pump. The linear signal duplicates the
waveform of the current being sensed
and is ideal for use as a feedback element
to control a motor or regulate the amount
of work being done by a machine.
Some CS current sensors utilize a
through-hole design. This feature insures
that there will not be any DC insertion loss
in the conductor. In addition, the through-
hole design simplifies installation by elim-
inating the need for direct connection,
which minimizes energy dissipation, and
provides output isolation at no extra cost.
MICRO SWITCH CS through-hole current
sensors cannot be damaged by overcur-
rent.
Current sensing is accomplished by mea-
suring the magnetic field surrounding a
current-carrying conductor. The conduc-
tor is passed through the flux collector
which concentrates the magnetic field at
the sensing element. The magnetic field
is directly proportional to the current
passing through the conductor. Thus,
there is a direct relationship between the
output voltage of the current sensor and
54

FEATURES
the level of input current. The waveform of
this output voltage will track the waveform
of the measured current. The through-
hole design electrically isolates the sen-
sor and insures that it will not be damaged
by overcurrent or high voltage transients.
LINEAR CURRENT SENSORS
MICRO SWITCH CSL series linear current
sensors incorporate our 91SS12-2 and
SS94A1 linear output Hall effect transduc-
er (LOHET
sembled in a printed circuit board mount-
able housing. This housing is available in
four configurations (as shown in mount-
ing dimension Figures 1, 1a, 2, and 2a on
page 59). Normal mounting is with 0.375
inch long 4-40 screw and square nut (not
provided) inserted in the housing. The
combination of the sensor, flux collector,
and housing comprises the holder
assembly.
When sensing zero current the output
voltage of the current sensor is approxi-
mately equal to one half of the supply
voltage (Voffset – 0.5 Vcc). CS series lin-
ear current sensors will sense current in
both directions. Current flow in one direc-
tion will cause the output voltage to in-
crease from its offset value. Current flow
in the opposite direction will cause the
output voltage to decrease from its offset
value. The output voltage range is from
25% of the supply voltage to 75% of the
supply voltage (0.25 Vcc
Vcc).
While sensing either AC or DC current,
the linear output voltage will track the
waveform of the sensed current.
The output of these devices can be ad-
justed by varying the supply voltage, var-
ying the gap cut in the flux collector, or
increasing the number of turns of the con-
ductor passing through the center of the
flux collector. Devices on page 56 are
ratiometric.

ADJUSTABLE LINEAR CURRENT
SENSORS
MICRO SWITCH offers two families of lin-
ear current sensors with adjustable offset
voltage and sensitivity. Both families uti-
lize the previously described linear cur-
rent sensors mounted to a small printed
circuit board containing additional circui-
try. The adjustable feature enables the
user to define the exact range of oper-
ation. The offset voltage and sensitivity
are controlled by two trimpots soldered to
the printed circuit board. These sensors
are ratiometric.
DIGITAL CURRENT SENSORS
Each MICRO SWITCH CSD series digital
current sensor provides a logic level out-
put that changes from approximately Vcc
to 0.4 volts when the sensed current ex-
ceeds the operate point. Each digital sen-
sor will operate on AC or DC current, but
the output will turn off at every zero cross-
ing when sensing AC current.
Note: Operate and release currents are
specified in Amps-Peak. When monitor-
ing AC current using a digital sensor,
peak values should be used. Multiply the
RMS values by 1.414 to obtain the peak
value.
INDUSTRIAL OUTPUT CURRENT SEN-
SORS
Current sensors with industrial outputs
easily interface with programmable con-
trollers and other industrial control and
monitoring devices. They have 4 to 20 mA
or 1 to 5 VDC outputs and are packaged in
a low-cost open PC board configuration
or enclosed housings. These devices in-
clude a regulator. Therefore, they are not
ratiometric.
