Many current sensors on the market are sensitive to stray magnetic fields and can be very inaccurate, sometimes off as much as +/- 5 amps.

When monitoring sensitive aircraft equipment this just isn’t good enough!


The ME CS-6AB is a HIGHLY ACCURATE current sensor that uses special technology to read current loads down to +/- 0.1amps by intelligently ignoring error caused by the earth magnetic field and other stray magnetic fields found within your aircraft.

Measuring current with a current shunt and an electronic EMS is often difficult in the high electrical noise environment of an experimental aircraft, particularly ones with a Permanent Magnet (PM) alternator. The shunt method also requires breaking a wire to insert the shunt and care in mounting the shunt to protect it from shorts, which is difficult to say the least!  Choose the high-accuracy ME-CS-6 instead!  The CS-6 can also be bundled with other wires if 1 inch separation is maintained from other high current carrying wires.  

The ME-CS-6AB is easy to install using just shrink tubing and zip-ties, and is compatible with any display device expecting 0-5v current sensor input. It is easy to calibrate using a simple process that yields exceptional accuracy.


VERSIONS:
The CS-6 is available in two versions, click below to choose your required version:
The CS-6AB is powered by 5 Volts
The CS-6CB is powered by 7 to 30 Volts


SPECIFICATIONS:
CS-6AB This is the basic version designed to be operated with Engine or Flight monitoring systems that provide 5 volts to supply external sensors and accept a 0-5v input with zero current being at 2.5 volts. No input voltage or polarity protection, wire with caution.


Output: 0-5V with 2.5 volts a zero current.
Sensitivity when mounted on a #8 aircraft wire: 38 mV / A
This results in a maximum current sensing of: +/- 65 A
DC Voltage input: 5 V
Current draw 30 mA
Power on is indicated by a LED.
