2. Calculate the maximum and target readings.

A. Determine the maximum current likely to occur in the application.

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.

B. Establish normal load conditions on the conductor. Measure this current using
an external measurement device, such as a portable amp clamp.

C. Calculate target output:

If A = the max. current, and B = the reading from the amp clamp, then:

target output =

e.g. target output = = 16 mA

3. Set Span.

Turn the span setpoint screw until the controller reading equals the target output.

Solution

No Reading at Controller

• Confirm 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.
