Current sensor WCS6800

A current sensor based on the Hall effect measures the current in the wire through the sensor opening. It does not require breaking the cable and installing terminals. The extendable halves of the measuring sensor allow it to be placed on the cable without having to thread it through.

Usage with a Lan Controller

Lan Controller v3.0/3.5/4.0 measures only direct current using this sensor.

When used with Lan Controller v3.0, the sensor should be powered from 3.3V from the IDC10-1 connector and the INP1-4A inputs used.

When used with Lan Controller v3.5+ the sensor should be powered from 3.3V from the IDC10-1 connector and the INPA1-4 inputs used or powered from 5V and the INPA1-2 inputs used.

Before use, the indication should be calibrated in the Inputs tab on the Lan Controller page.
