Absolute Process Instruments API 1000 G _ 5A, API PLUG-IN ALARMS

Features with all optional accessories:

Field Adjustable Setpoints
Plug-In Design for Fast Installation
Input LoopTracker® and Alarm Status LEDs
Alarm Test, Optional Reset Button
Sinking mA Input

Applications:

Process Limit Backup Alarm
Tank Level Alarm
Process Signal Over, Under, Out-of-Range Alarm

The API 1000 G are factory configured for either a DC voltage or current input and provide alarm contact outputs. Heavy duty relay contacts allow the module to directly control high capacity loads.

The API 1000 G provides a single setpoint adjustment and DPDT relay contacts. The normal acting alarm output can be factory configured for HI or LO operation. Top-accessible potentiometers are used to adjust the alarm setpoint and deadband.

LoopTracker and Alarm Status LEDs

API exclusive features include a LoopTracker LED that varies in intensity with changes in the process input signal. A red/green bi-color alarm status LED visually indicate alarm status. These LEDs provide a quick visual picture of your process at all times.

Output Test

API's exclusive functional test button can be used to verify the alarm and system operation. Press the Test button to toggle the alarm relay(s) to the opposite state. The output test button greatly aids in saving time during initial startup and/or troubleshooting.
