What you need?
- BlackBox and power supply
- Current sensor
- Custom current sensor cable BlackBox/Scoutbox input pin layout
- Basic tools for installation
- BlackBox, Sensor and current sensor cable is provided by GlobalReader
How to make the installation?
- For using the current sensor to count worktime we need to find a power cable on the machine's electrical cabinet. It can be an incoming cable or some cases frequency converter.
- On the sensor, there is an arrow that shows the current flow direction
- AC current only
- Use ONLY ONE PHASE up to 400Amps
After connecting the sensor and BlackBox contact GlobalReader support to verify the readings.
The general idea of testing:
- The BlackBox has a default threshold configured. In case the amperage in phase cable is higher than the threshold then it's considered that the machine is working, otherwise not
