H221/H221SP
Split-Core Current Transducer,
High Current, 4-20mA Output
Product Overview
The H221 and the H221SP are current transducers that sense current (amperage) in the monitored conductor. The
H221 amperage range is eld-adjustable, with ranges of 0-100A thru 0-300A possible. The H221SP is factory-set at
a range with an upper limit specied by the customer upon ordering (100A, 150A, 200A, 250A, and 300A options
available for the upper limit). Both devices transform the monitored current into 4-20 mA DC output, suitable for
connection to building controllers or other appropriate data acquisition equipment. The H221 and H221SP require
12-30 VDC external power supply to generate their output.

Disconnect and lock out power to the enclosure
containing the conductor to be monitored.
1. Choose a location for the sensor. The monitored conductor must pass
through the center window, and the sensor must be at least ½” (13 mm)
from any uninsulated conductors. Determine cable routing for the controller
connection, allowing the sensor to reach the conductor.
2. Wire the output connections between the sensor and the controller
(4-20 mA).
3. Snap the sensor over the conduc tor to be monitored.
4. Secure I-bar to main body of sensor with wire ties or other securing method.

Calibration
(H221 Only)
The following calculation is given as an example and uses
sample current values. In an actual application, any values
appropriate to the application (within the range of the device)
can be substituted.
The H221SP is factory-calibrated.
1. Set Zero.
Apply power to the sensor with no load in the
monitored conductor. Turn the zero setpoint
screw until the controller reads 4 mA output.

2. Calculate the maximum and target readings.
A. Determine the maximum current likely to occur in the application.
B. Establish normal load conditions on the conduc tor. Measure this current using
an external measurement device, such as a portable amp clamp.
C. Calculate target output:

Troubleshooting
If A = the max. current, and B = the reading from the amp clamp, then:
target output =
16 mA x — + 4 mA
e.g. target output = = 16 mA

Problem Solution
No Reading at Controller • Conrm that a 12-30 VDC power supply is in series with the sensor output terminals and the control
panel analog input terminals.
• Assure that sensor core mating surfaces are clean and that the core clamp is completely closed.
