Description
The HAT-100Q1 is a simple open-loop DC ammeter capable of measuring AC current in the 0-100A range. It connects to the monitoring system via the VT407 transceiver.
The VT407 / AC current transceiver transmits measured current data from the HAT-100Q1 AC transducer to the Vutlan monitoring device.
This plug-and-play transceiver easily connects to any analog port of Vutlan monitoring devices.
The maximum amount of sensors can be extended using the VT408 / Sensor extension unit.
