Veris Industries H-608 Switch
The Veris Industries H-608 Hawkeye is a high-performance split-core current switch engineered for precise monitoring of AC loads in building automation systems. Designed for both retrofit and new construction, this adjustable current switch features a self-gripping iris that secures it around insulated conductors without requiring a power supply, as it is completely self-powered via induction. With a versatile amperage range of 0.5A to 175A, the H-608 accurately detects mechanical failures such as belt loss and coupling shear on exhaust fans, recirculation pumps, and unit ventilators. The integrated status LED provides immediate local visual confirmation of the switch state, simplifying the calibration of the 20-turn potentiometer. For contractors managing small enclosures, its compact footprint and N.O. solid-state output (1.0A @ 30VAC/DC) ensure seamless integration with DDC controllers and industrial process equipment. This HVAC current sensor effectively monitors loads as small as 1/5 HP, making it a reliable standard for verifiable motor status and run-time reporting.
Key Benefits- Precise Current Monitoring: The adjustable trip point allows for sensitivity as low as 0.5A, eliminating the need for multiple conductor wraps even on small motors.
- Efficient Installation: Features a split-core housing and a self-gripping iris for fast, secure attachment to existing wiring without disconnecting terminals.
- Self-Powered Operation: No external power required, as sensor power is induced directly from the monitored conductor.
- Visual Diagnostics: High-visibility status LEDs confirm the contact state at a glance during setup and routine maintenance.
- Compact Engineering: Specifically sized to fit into tight electrical enclosures where space is at a premium.
How do I calibrate the H-608 for belt loss detection?
With the motor running normally, turn the setpoint screw clockwise until the Status Open LED illuminates. Then, slowly turn it counter-clockwise until the Status Closed LED turns on. Add an additional 1/4 turn counter-clockwise to provide a reliable margin for operational fluctuations.
Can this switch be used for VFD applications?
Yes, the H-608 is frequently used to monitor the on/off status of VFD outputs, provided the frequency remains within the 50/60 Hz range and the current stays within the 0.5A to 175A threshold.
What wire sizes are compatible with the terminal block?
The unit is equipped with a terminal block that accepts 24 to 14 AWG wiring, suitable for standard control circuit connections to BAS or DDC panels.
