Sensor Description:
The clothespin is a small, non-intrusive, clamp-on sensor
that uses a Hall-effect chip in order to sense current flow
through electric wires. The current sensor has a curved
mu-metal strip used for shielding against external
magnetic fields and used for amplifying internal fields. It
has a clothespin like enclosure and is capable of sensing
microsecond transients (AC and DC) with a 2% accuracy
range. The sensor uses a single RJ45 shielded cable
with 4 pins for both the power and output signals.

The sensor provides a differential output of 0 +/- 2.5V

with respect to an internal reference. With zero
current, the output is at 0V and will go toward -2.5V
when the current is negative and toward 2.5V when
the current is positive. It also provides a single-ended
output which provides a 0 to 5V analog output with
respect to ground. With zero current, the output is
nominally at 2.5V and will go toward ground (0V) when
the current is negative and the output will go toward
5V when current is positive. 100 milliamps of current
flow produces a 6 millivolt increment on the output
terminals, zero current floats under 20 millivolts.

The relationship between temperature and output

voltage is equal to 10 mV/1K. Since this relationship
is linear, dividing the voltage by 0.010 will yield the
output temperature. The sensor has two different
output configurations: A single-ended output (between
RJ45 pins 3 and 7) which provides 2.33 to 3.73 volts
analog output with respect to ground. At room temp
the output is 2.98V (K = 100 * Output Voltage). And a
differential output (between RJ45 pins 3 and 5) which
provides - 0.14 to 1.26 volts with respect to a
reference voltage of 2.47V. At room temperature the
output is 0.51 volts (K = 100 * Output Voltage + 247).
