SENECA T201 2 Wire – Loop Alternated Current Transducer Instruction Manual
General Specifications
- The T201 instrument is an AC current transducer (CT) for 4 – 20 mA current loops (loop powered 2 wires technology).
- High precision.
- Extremely compact size.
- Wide configurability: eight pre-calibrated ranges, DIP-switch selected.
- Extremely low consumption.
- Low output ripple and quick response to variations.
- Damping filter (DIP-switches activable) to reduce the response time (damping starts, unstable loads, etc.).

In the table the symbol corresponds to the switch in the ON position. The
instrument is factory delivered with range 5A, 100ms filter. (*)The input
filter slows down the response time to about 2.5 s and stabilizes the
measurement.
Mounting
The device can be located in any position and place, in accordance with the
operating conditions above stated. Use the included holder bracket when fixing
it to a DIN rail.
WARNING: High-strength magnetic fields may change the output value. Avoid
closeness to permanent magnets, electromagnets or iron bulks that cause such a
modification of the surrounding magnetic field; try a different arrangement or
orientation if zero error was greater than expected.
Multi-turn primary winding to improve sensibility
You can increase the sensibility of the device simply passing several times in the hole with the measuring current, realizing turns with multiplicative effect: for example, passing 5 times in the hole, as to see 4 turns, choosing a 40 A range, you get an equivalent sensibility of 8 A full-scale. When you make this, let dispose the turns with symmetry in order to preserve accuracy: use diametric contraposition with 2 turns, cross disposition with 4 turns, 60° with 6 turns, and so on.
Disposal of electrical & electronic equipment (applicable throughout the EU and other countries wit separate collection programs). This symbol, found on your product or on its packaging, indicates that this product should not be treated as household waste when you wish to dispose of it. Instead, it should be handed over to an applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences to the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate disposal of it. The recycling of materials will help to conserve natural resources.
