Using honeywell Current Sensors?

NickSr

I need to measure loads on electric heaters.

Can I read Honeywell (or any other) Current Sensors - See Honeywell spec sheet. with Propeller, or Javelin Stamp? How would I do that?

Thanks for any comments.

Use a current transformer?

Thanks for the responses.
Paul, thanks for your reference, I presume its honeywell support and will try it...
Leon,
Omron calls these Current Transformers (like you mentioned) see attachment, How would I use them??
Honeywell calls them linear current sensors (in the Honeywell attachment in previous post),
Tamura has a similiar product called "Open and closed loop Hall effect current sensors".
Melexis 90217 hall effect sensors (Parallax part nbr. 605-00005) have current sensing applications as well. Melexis·(hallapps.pdf) attachment to this post, pg. 3-13.

I'm just trying to see if there is some possibility of measuing current with javelin or propeller stamp in all this. And are there any ideas as to implementing·it.

I have a BS2 application that controls electric heating elements with 1wire TC's and SSR's.·I'm already low on variable room there for other needs. So starting to port over to Javelin and Propeller.

Thanks again for any comments or suggestions!

You just pass the line wire through it, and measure the voltage produced by the winding. You will need to rectify and smooth it and use a suitable ADC, of course.

Thanks Leon, for those pieces of information. I'll work on filling in the spaces!
