Cecomp Electronics, APD 8000, Universal Input to DC Isolated Signal Conditioner, 85-265 VAC, 60-300 VDCFeatures:One Model Covers All Common SensorsEasy Setup-No Computer or Software NeededZero and Span Output Calibration ButtonsFull 1200 V IsolationInput LoopTracker® LED, Output Test FunctionBuilt-In Loop Power Supply for Sink/Source OutputApplications:Convert/Isolate DC Sensors for PLC Input, Control and/or ValidationInterface DC Sensors with Panel Meters, PLCs, Recorders, Data Acq., DCS, & SCADA SystemsThe APD 8000 accepts a DC, potentiometer, thermocouple, RTD or thermistor input and provides an optically isolated and linearized DC voltage or current output. The input is sampled, digitally converted (and linearized for temperature sensors), and then passed through an optocoupler to the output stage.Full 3 way isolation (input, output, power) make this module useful for ground loop elimination, common mode signal rejection, and noise pickup reduction.The input type and range, and output type and range are field configurable. Microprocessor-based linearization uses 41 to 55 segments or up to a 14th order polynomial depending on the sensor type.The input type is set with switches and its range is configured using front buttons, a multimeter and an input simulator.The low noise 18 bit analog output is isolated and can be set up for common voltage and milliamp output types.Output Sink/Source Versatility Standard on the APD 8000 is a 20 VDC loop excitation supply for the milliamp output. The output can be selectively wired for sinking or sourcing allowing use with a powered or unpowered milliamp device.LoopTrackerAn API exclusive feature includes a green LoopTracker LED that varies in intensity with changes in the process input signal. It provides a quick visual picture of your process input at all times and can greatly aid in saving time during initial startup and troubleshooting.Output Test An API exclusive feature includes an output test switch to provide a fixed output (independent of the input) when pressed. The output test greatly aids in saving time during initial startup and/or troubleshooting. The test output level is adjustable from 0 to 100% of the output span.
