The API 4010 G accepts a DC voltage or current input and provides a non-iso-
lated DC voltage or current output that is linearly related to the input.
Typical applications include signal scaling, signal conversion, signal boosting or
a combination of the three. The module power supply is transformer isolated
from the input and output.
The API 4010 G is factory configured to customer requirements. Common
ranges as well as custom ranges are possible. Consult the factory for assistance
with special ranges.
API exclusive features include two
LoopTracker LEDs and a Functional Test
Pushbutton. The LoopTracker LEDs (Green for input, Red for output) vary in
intensity with changes in the process input and output signals. Monitoring the
state of these LEDs can provide a quick visual picture of your process loop at
all times.
The functional test pushbutton provides a fixed output (independent of the input)
when held depressed. The test output level is fixed at 50% of output span. Both
the LoopTracker LEDs and functional test pushbutton greatly aid in saving time
during initial startup and/or troubleshooting.
Also standard on the API 4010 G is an 18 VDC unregulated loop excitation sup-
ply. This supply can be used to power passive input devices, often eliminating
the need for an additional external power supply.
The API 4010 G plugs into an industry standard 8-pin octal socket sold sepa-
rately. Sockets API 008 and finger-safe API 008 FS allow either DIN rail or panel
mounting.

Calibration! RANGES
Listed below are commonly ordered input and output ranges. Consult factory for
other available ranges or for special ranges.
When a current output is ordered, it provides power to the output current loop
(sourcing). If an unpowered (sinking) current output is required, order the API
4010 G EXTSUP with open collector output.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING! All wiring must be performed by qualified personnel only.
This module requires an industry-standard 8-pin socket. Order API 008 or fin-
ger-safe API 008 FS socket.
Power Input Terminals The white label on the side of the API module will indi-
cate the power requirements. AC power is connected to terminals 1 and 3. For
DC powered modules, polarity MUST be observed. Positive (+) is wired to ter-
minal 1 and negative () is wired to terminal 3.
Powered Signal Input Polarity must be observed when connecting the signal
input. The positive connection (+) is applied to terminal 5 and the negative () is
applied to terminal 6.
Passive Signal Input Polarity must be observed when connecting the signal
input. A passive input device can be powered by the 18 volt DC power supply at
terminal 4. This may save the expense of purchasing a separate power supply
for the input device. A typical example is shown, however it is very important to
consult the manufacturer of your specific sensor to determine its compatibility
and proper wiring.
Signal Output Terminals Polarity must be observed when connecting the sig-
nal output to the load. The positive connection (+) is connected to terminal 7 and
the negative () is connected to terminal 8. Output is powered unless option
EXTSUP was ordered for a sinking output requirement.
CALIBRATION
Input and output ranges are pre-configured at the factory as specified on your
order. Top-mounted, Zero and Span potentiometers can be used should fine-
tuning be necessary. Custom ranges may require factory modification.
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. Example: for 4-20 mA output sig-
nal, the Zero control will provide adjustment for the 4 mA or low end of the
signal.
4. Set the input at maximum, and then adjust the Span pot for the exact maxi-
mum 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 signal, the Span control will pro-
vide adjustment for the 20 mA or high end of the signal.
5. Repeat adjustments for maximum accuracy.
TEST SWITCH
The Test Switch pushbutton may be used to 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 trou-
bleshooting. This test signal is factory set to approximately 50% of the calibrat-
ed output range. When the button is released, the output will return to normal.
Example: If you are checking a 4-20 mA current loop, when the pushbutton is
held depressed, the output from the module will be approximately 12 mA.
OPERATION
The API 4010 G is factory configured to your exact input and output require-
ments. The input is filtered, either amplified or attenuated as required, then
passed through to the output stage.
