Description

The Ultra SlimPak G408 is a DIN rail mount, DC input signal

conditioner with 1800VDC isolation between input, output and

power. The field configurable input and output offers flexible,

wide ranging capability for DC current and voltage signals.

The input can be configured for any one of 12 voltage ranges from

10mV to 100V or 6 current ranges from 1mA to 100mA (see Table

1). The output is linear to the input and can be set for either 0-

5V, 0-10V, 0-1mA, 0-20mA or 4-20mA (for models G408-0001)

and -5 to +5V or -10 to +10V (for model G408-1001).

Wide ranging, precision zero and span pots allow 50% adjustability

of offset and span turn-down within each of the 18 switch

selectable ranges. For example, the 0-2mA input range could be

turned down to 0-1mA and provide a full scale output signal (e.g.

4-20mA), or turned down and offset to achieve a 1-2mA/4-20mA

I/O combination.

The G408 also accepts bipolar inputs (e.g. 10V range set to bipolar =

-10 to +10V) and offers selectable normal or reverse operation (e.g.

4-20mA/20-4mA). The ASIC based I/O channel is optically isolated

to 1800VDC and is transformer isolated from the power supply.

Application

The G408 is useful in eliminating ground loops, converting signal

levels, and providing signal drive. The field configurable, wide

ranging capability ensures maximum flexibility for most DC to DC

applications, minimizing spare part requirements.
