H421/H421SP
Split-Core Current Transducer,
High Current, 4-20mA Output
Product Overview
The H421 and the H421SP are current transducers that sense current (amperage) in the monitored conductor. The
H421 amperage range is eld-adjustable, with ranges of 0-1000A thru 0-2400A possible. The H421SP is factoryset at a range with an upper limit specied by the customer upon ordering (1000A, 1200A, 1400A, 1600A, 1800A,
2000A, 2200A, 2400A, and 2400A options available for upper limits). Both devices transform the monitored current
into 4-20mA DC output, suitable for connection to building controllers or other appropriate data acquisition
equipment. The H421 and H421SP require a 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.

5. Secure the enclosure and reconnect power.
6. Scale the sensor range, then scale the controller software to match the sensor’s output (see Scaling section).
