1 Product Overview

SC-LP-3CTLoRa is a passive wireless current sensor integrating high-precision current measurement and temperature monitoring. It transmits data to a receiving device via wireless communication, enabling real-time remote monitoring of the measured circuit’s data and early detection of potential safety hazards to ensure electrical safety.

The sensor adopts a dual power supply mode: it can operate by connecting to a CT current signal or via an internal battery, switching adaptively and flexibly. No external power supply is required, reducing maintenance. Its compact shape makes installation convenient and adaptable to various application scenarios.

7 Common Troubleshooting

Fault symptomAnalysisSolution
Indicator light does not flashInsufficient battery powerCheck whether the built-in battery has power; if not, replace it. When powered by battery only, it takes about 5 minutes for the indicator to flash.
Inaccurate current measurementSignal input terminal not tightenedRe-tighten the wiring terminal
Transformer failureCheck whether the input signal is consistent with the actual value and whether the transformer cable is open-circuited or damaged; replace the transformer if necessary
Sensor failureReplace the sensor
No data from the receiving deviceIncorrect settingCheck whether the sensor ID and other information set on the receiving device are correct
Antenna not properly installedCheck whether the antenna is correctly installed and intact
Distance too farVerify whether the distance between the sensor and the receiving device is within the nominal range
