Dual Power
Current Sensor
Is a controlled source really on or off? That’s an important question in many system applications. The
PCS2 Dual Power Current Sensor provides the answer by detecting the 110 VAC current drawn by
equipment plugged into the onboard AC receptacles. The unit features adjustable sensing levels for
high (full-on) and low (standby) power levels.
The PCS2 Dual Power Current Sensor can sense high, low or no power level states for two devices, and
includes a built-in power supply.
