Instructions for Armor 4, 12V Power Supply, and Amp Clamp

Components Overview

This document describes the wiring connections required for integrating the following components:

1. Armor 4

   • Orange Wire: 12V Power input

   • Green Wire: Ground

   • Red Wire: Input signal

2. 12V Power Supply

   • Red Wire: Power output (+12V)

   • Black Wire: Ground output

3. Amp Clamp (Donut Sensor)

   • Red Wire: Signal output

   • Black Wire: Ground

Wiring Instructions

Step 1: Connect Ground Wires

1. Gather the ground wires from all components:

   • Black wire from the 12V Power Supply

   • Black wire from the Amp Clamp

   • Green wire from Armor 4

2. Connect these three ground wires together at a common ground point.

Step 2: Connect 12V Power Wires

1. Take the red wire from the 12V Power Supply (providing +12V).

2. Connect it to the orange wire of the Armor 4 (12V input).

Step 3: Connect Signal Input Wires

1. Take the red wire from the Amp Clamp (signal output).

2. Connect it to the red wire of the Armor 4 (input signal).

Final Connection Summary

• The ground point connects the black wires from the 12V power supply and amp clamp to the green wire of the Armor 4.

• The power point connects the red wire from the 12V power supply to the orange wire of the Armor 4.

• The signal line connects the red wire from the amp clamp to the red wire of the Armor 4.

Additional Notes

• Ensure that all connections are securely fastened to prevent accidental disconnection or signal loss.

• If using a terminal block or connector for the ground point, ensure that the connector can handle the current and voltage specifications of the system.

• Double-check the polarity of each wire before powering on the system to avoid potential damage to the components.

Safety Precautions

• Always disconnect the power supply before making any wiring changes.

• Use appropriate insulation for exposed wires to prevent short circuits.

• Ensure that the amp clamp is properly positioned around the conductor for accurate current measurement.

Troubleshooting

• No Power to Armor 4:

  • Check the connection between the red wire of the power supply and the orange wire of the Armor 4.

  • Verify that the power supply is providing the correct voltage.

• No Signal Detection:

  • Ensure that the amp clamp is securely connected and properly aligned.

  • Check the connection between the red wire of the amp clamp and the red wire of the Armor 4.

• Intermittent Connection Issues:

  • Inspect all wire connections for loose or poorly crimped terminals.

  • Ensure that there is no corrosion or debris on the connectors.
