Overview
The Veris H606 is a cost-effective, adjustable trip point, split-core current switch designed for Building Automation Systems. It is a 100% solid-state device used as a sensor to monitor AC current in electrical loads, particularly within HVAC systems, without the need for moving parts that could fail. It is part of the HX06 Series.
Features
- Adjustable trip point, offering versatility with a range of 1.25 A to 50 A AC.
- Split-core housing for easy installation.
- Output status LEDs for fast setup.
- Easier to install than differential pressure switches, as no tubing is required.
- 100% solid-state design (no moving parts).
- Low fixed trip point available as low as 1.25 A.

Applications
The H606 is primarily used in Building Automation Systems to monitor electrical loads. Specific applications include:
- Monitoring fans, pumps, motors, and other electrical loads for proper operation.
- Detecting belt loss and motor failure (ideal for fan and pump status).
- Verifying lighting circuit loads.
- Monitoring critical motors (compressor, fuel, etc.).
- Monitoring industrial process equipment status.
- Applications in HVAC systems, unit ventilators, exhaust fans, and recirculation pumps.
