Description
The HAT-100Q1 is a simple open-loop AC current transducer that measures AC currents in the range of 0-100A. It is designed for monitoring and controlling power consumption and is ideal for applications where precise AC current measurements are critical. The transducer detects the current and outputs an analog signal that can be processed by a monitoring system.
To transfer the measured AC current data, the VT407 AC converter is used. It is an analog plug-and-play device that connects to any available analog port (A1...A8) on a Vutlan monitoring unit. This allows for seamless integration of current monitoring into the broader Vutlan monitoring system, providing real-time data on current consumption and enabling the system to react to overcurrent situations or electrical failures.
Additionally, the maximum number of VT407 converters connected to the system and the maximum length from the monitoring unit can be expanded using the VT408 / Sensor extension unit, offering scalability for larger monitoring setups or more complex infrastructures.
This combination is ideal for monitoring power usage in data centers, industrial environments, or telecommunications facilities, where reliable power monitoring is crucial for maintaining operational efficiency and safety.

Add more analog sensors using VT408 or VT408DIN
'VT408 Sensor extension unit' and 'VT408DIN Sensor extension unit" increase the number of analog sensors connected to any Vutlan monitoring unit. Each VT408 unit adds 8 analog sensors. Multiple VT408 units can be connected using a daisy CAN chain. Sensors connected to the extension unit appear in the system automatically.
Systems with analog ports:
To read data from the analog sensors, you need Vutlan monitoring and control system. All the following monitoring & control systems have a different amount of analog ports.
