The Functional Devices RIBXLCEA is a solid-core current sensing relay designed for automated building control and load monitoring. This device integrates a high-performance current transducer with an onboard SPDT relay, allowing contractors to monitor motor status while simultaneously switching a separate load. Engineered with a fixed 0.125 Amp trip point, the RIBXLCEA provides reliable "Go/No-Go" status indication for small fractional horsepower motors, exhaust fans, and unit heaters. The RIBXLCEA sensor handles a maximum monitored current of 100 Amps AC, making it a versatile tool for HVAC automation and industrial maintenance. Its compact, NEMA 1 rated housing ensures easy installation in tight electrical panels, while the LED status indicator provides immediate visual feedback on the relay state. Utilizing this current switch with relay eliminates the need for separate sensors and interposing relays, reducing field wiring time and potential failure points in complex BAS (Building Automation Systems). Key Benefits for Technicians: Dual-Function Design: Combines current monitoring and 10 Amp SPDT switching in a single pre-packaged device. Low Trip Point: Fixed 0.125 Amp threshold enables precise monitoring of low-draw equipment that larger sensors might miss. Simplified Wiring: Color-coded leads for both the 24Vac/dc coil and the relay contacts streamline integration with controllers. Durable Construction: UL listed and designed to provide professional-grade reliability in commercial HVAC applications. Common Questions: Can the RIBXLCEA be used on 208V or 480V loads?Yes, as long as the current wire passes through the sensing ring, it can monitor the amperage. However, ensure the relay contacts and coil voltage match your specific control circuit requirements. Is the trip point on this sensor adjustable?No, the RIBXLCEA features a fixed 0.125 Amp trip point. For applications requiring field tuning, an adjustable current sensor model should be selected. What is the maximum amperage the sensing ring can handle?The sensing ring is rated for up to 100 Amps continuous, providing ample headroom for most single-phase or three-phase motor monitoring tasks.
