Precautions
WARNING! All wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician
or instrumentation engineer. See diagram for terminal designations
and wiring examples. Consult factory for assistance.
WARNING! Avoid shock hazards! Turn signal input, output, and
power off before connecting or disconnecting wiring, or removing
or installing module.
Précautions
ATTENTION! Tout le câblage doit être effectué par un électricien
ou ingénieur en instrumentation qualifié. Voir le diagramme pour
désignations des bornes et des exemples de câblage. Consulter
l’usine pour assistance.
ATTENTION! Éviter les risques de choc! Fermez le signal d’entrée,
le signal de sortie et l’alimentation électrique avant de connecter ou
de déconnecter le câblage, ou de retirer ou d’installer le module.
Socket and Mounting
The module installation requires a protective panel or enclosure. Use
API 008 or finger-safe API 008 FS socket. See specifications for maxi-
mum allowable socket voltages. Note that some relay sockets may
have lower voltage ratings. The socket clips to a standard 35 mm DIN
rail or can be attached to a flat surface using the two mounting holes.
Range Selection
Two slide switches and three rotary switches located on the side of
the module are used to select input and output ranges. Most popu-
lar ranges are listed on the module label. See table below. Special
ranges will be indicated on the model/serial number module label.
1. Unplug the module from its socket. Do not change ranges while
the module is powered.
2. Locate the switch combination for your desired input and output
ranges from the table.
3. Set the OUTPUT SELECT slide switch to current (I) or voltage (V)
depending on output type.
4. Set the three rotary switches A, B, and Cto the values found in
the table.
Installation and Setup API 4380 G HV3
5. Set the INPUT SELECT slide switch to Lor Hdepending on table
value.
6. Proceed to Calibration and Output Test Function setup. The
Zero, Span and Test Range potentiometers can now be adjusted
for the desired output range.
Depending on the rotary switch settings, the input is filtered, either
amplified or attenuated as required, then passed through an optical
isolation circuit to the output stage.
The input selector switch determines the input impedance for the
module, typically 50 Wfor current inputs and 1 MWor greater for
voltage inputs.
Signal Output
Polarity must be observed when connecting the signal output to the
load. The module provides 20 VDC power to the output loop when
current output is selected.
Signal Input
For safety, input must be off while connecting wiring. Connect the
signal input to terminals 5 and 6.
Module Power
Check model/serial number label for module operating voltage to
make sure it matches available power.
AC power is connected to terminals 1 and 3.
For DC powered modules, polarity MUST be observed.
Positive (+) is wired to terminal 1
Negative (–) is wired to terminal 3
Calibration
Top-mounted Zero and Span potentiometers calibrate the output.
Note: Perform the following calibration procedure any time switch
settings are changed.
1. Apply power to the module and allow a minimum 20 minute
warm up time.
2. Using an accurate calibration source, provide an input to the
module equal to the minimum input required for the application.
3. Using an accurate measurement device for the output, adjust
the Zero potentiometer for the exact minimum output desired.
The Zero control should only be adjusted when the input signal
is at its minimum. This will produce the corresponding minimum
output signal. For example: 4 mA for a 4-20 mA output or –10 V
for a ±10V output.
4. Next, set the input at maximum, then adjust the Span pot for the
exact maximum output desired. The Span control should only
be adjusted when the input signal is at its maximum. This will
produce the corresponding maximum output signal. Example:
for 4-20 mA output, the Span control will provide adjustment for
the 20 mA or high end of the signal.
5. Repeat adjustments for maximum accuracy.
Output Test Function
The Test button may be pushed to provide a fixed output when
depressed. This will drive the device on the output side of the loop
(a panel meter, chart recorder, etc.) with a known good signal that
can be used as a system diagnostic aid during initial start-up or

during troubleshooting.
It can be adjusted to vary the output signal from 0 to 100% of the cali-
brated output range. When released, the output will return to normal.
Turn the multi-turn Test Range potentiometer while holding the
Test Switch depressed until the desired output test level is reached.
Operation
The API 4380 G HV3 input is filtered, either amplified or attenuated
as required, then passed through an optical isolation circuit to the
output stage.
The green LoopTracker®input LED provides a visual indication that
a signal is being sensed by the input circuitry of the module. It also
indicates the input signal strength by changing in intensity as the
process changes from minimum to maximum.
If the LED fails to illuminate, or fails to change in intensity as the
process changes, check the module power or signal input wiring. Note
that it may be difficult to see the LEDs under bright lighting conditions.
The red LoopTracker output LED provides a visual indication that
the output signal is functioning. It becomes brighter as the input
and the corresponding output change from minimum to maximum.
For a current output, the red LED will only light if the output loop
current path is complete. For either current or voltage outputs,
failure to illuminate or a failure to change in intensity as the process
changes may indicate a problem with the module power or signal
output wiring.
