H663 Series
Split-Core Branch
Current Monitor
OPERATION
Designed for the critical load monitoring such as Co-location Data Centers and
lighting panels, the H663 series monitors current on up to 42 branch circuits in
a 120/208/240 VAC electrical panel. By individually reporting current draw and
initiating capacity warnings and alarms, the H663 series allows the user to manage
loading and eliminate power disturbances caused by overloaded breakers.
The H663 series consists of a data acquisition system board and up to 42 individual
split-core current transformers (CTs). The acquisition board should be mounted in-
side the electrical panel, or in an enclosure mounted near enough for the CT output
leads to reach the acquisition board connectors. The CTs are clipped onto each of the
branch circuit conductors. These CTs transmit amperage data from each monitored
circuit to the acquisition system for processing.
Current and alarm information is transmitted to the user’s Control Data Acquisition
system over an RS485 drop using the Modbus protocol.
Set-up is made easy with a PC based configuration tool which allows for global or
individual selection of breaker size, warning levels, and alarm levels.
The H663 Series is a UL508 Listed open device without enclosure.
*For 240VAC Power connection versions, order catalog number H663SM-xxE

DANGER OF ELECTROCUTION: BE CERTAIN THAT EVERY
CT IS CONNECTED TO A LOAD AT ALL TIMES WHEN CLAMPED TO AN ENERGIZED
CONDUCTOR. Current mode Current Transformers (CTs) such as those used
in this product can be damaged, or generate lethal voltages, if clamped
around current carrying conductors while the output leads are not prop-
erly terminated to a shorting device, or loaded, as by the H663SM main
board. Install wiring connectors in accordance with manufacturer's specifica-
tions and instructions.
• Potential electrocution hazard exists. Installing sensors in an energized
electrical panel, or on any energized conductor can be hazardous. CT
outputs should not be connected to Operator Accessible circuits.
• Read instructions thoroughly prior to install
• This product is not intended for life or safety applications.
• This product is not intended for installation in hazardous or classified
locations and must be installed in an electrical and fire enclosure in accordance
with EN 61010-1.
Severe injury or death can result from electrical shock during contact with high
voltage conductors or related equipment. Disconnect and lock-out all power
sources during installation and service. Applications shown are suggested means
of installing sensors, but it is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the
installation is safe and in compliance with all national and local codes. Instal-
lation should be attempted only by individuals familiar with codes, standards,
and proper safety procedures for high-voltage installations.

INSTALLATION
Physical Installation
1. Snap split-core CT’s on branch circuit wires. (CT’s may need to be staggered).
2. Prepare 120VAC* 50/60Hz power leads and connect to line and neutral
terminals of the acquisition board. Allow wiring length to fit when board is
installed. DO NOT CONNECT LINE VOLTAGE UNTIL LAST STEP!
3. Connect current transformers to interconnection board terminals as shown in
Figure 3.
4. Acquisition Board Installation (see Figure 2)
Find screw holes under panel board in side of chassis or panel. Attach
Data Acquisition Board.

Output Configuration
1. Communications Configuration
Communications parameters for the H663 series are field selectable for your
convenience. Please see Figure 1 (page 2, #8) for selector location. The
following parameters are configurable:
■ Parity: Odd, even or none
■ Wiring: Two or four
■ Baud Rate: 2400, 4800, 9600 or 19200
2. Address Configuration
Each ModBus device on a single network must have a unique address. The
switch block must be set to assign a unique address before the device is
connected to the ModBus RS485 network. If an address is selected which
conflicts with another device, neither device will be able to communicate.
Chart 1
CONFIGURATION
The values of each dip switch are as follows:
1=1
2=2
3=4
4=8
5=16
6=32
7=64
8=128
To determine an address you simply add the values of any switch that is on.
For example:
Switch number 4 has an ON Value of 8 and switch number 6 has an ON Value of 32. (8+32 = 40)
See Chart 2 on the following page for a pictorial listing of the first 63 switch positions.
or
H663 series can be addressed as any whole number between and including 1-247. Each unit is equipped with a set of 8 dip switches for addressing. See below.

NOTES
A. The Modbus cable should be mechanically secured where it enters the
electrical panel.
B. All Modbus devices should be connected together in a daisy-chain fashion,
and properly terminated.
C. The Modbus cable should be shielded twisted pair wire such as Belden 1120A.
The cable must be voltage rated for the installation.
WARNING: After wiring the
Modbus cable, remove all scraps
of wire or foil shield from the
electrical panel. This could be
DANGEROUS if wire scraps
come into contact with
high voltage conductors!
