Understand the sensor technical specifications

Summary: This article explains sensor configurations, sizing rules, and measurement logic to ensure accurate data collection and transmission to the bridge.

Hardware information

  • Wireless transmitter: The central unit that sends data to the bridge.

  • Current clamps:

    • 3-Phase: 3 clamps (clips around L1, L2, L3)

    • 1-Phase: 1 clamp (clips around the phase cable).

Technical specifications

Sensor configurations: Select the correct sensor configuration based on your machine's power supply:

  • 3-Phase Sensors: Standard for most industrial machines. Consists of 3 clamps and 1 transmitter.

  • 1-Phase Sensors: Used for smaller machines or specific sub-components. Consists of 1 clamp and 1 transmitter.

Sizing guide: Sensors must be matched to the Fused Power (Amps) and the Cable Diameter of the machine.

Size Range (Amps) Best for...
Small 0 - 60A Light machinery, fans, pumps
Medium 60 - 200A Standard production lines, conveyors
Large 200 - 600A Heavy machinery, main feeds
XL 600A - 3000A (Flexible coils) Main incomers

Note: Submit your requirements via the Technical Assessment to ensure you receive the correct hardware.

Measurement logic

  • Sampling: The sensor conducts 2 measuring cycles, lasting 30 seconds each.

  • Granularity: The system calculates the average of these cycles and transmits data at a 1-minute interval to the software.

For detailed electrical ratings and physical dimensions, consult the technical data sheets:

Technical troubleshooting

Inaccurate readings

  • Check clamp closure: Ensure the clamp is fully clicked shut around the cable. A partial gap results in low or zero readings.

  • Verify sizing: Using a large sensor on a very low-amperage cable (e.g., a 600A sensor on a 5A load) can reduce accuracy.

No connection

  • Check distance: Ensure the sensor is within 10–15 meters of the bridge.

  • Check shielding: Do not place the transmitter inside a fully closed metal cabinet unless the bridge is also inside the same cabinet. Metal blocks the wireless signal.
