The API 4003 G I accepts a resistance input from potentiometer, slidewire, linear position, displacement, or rotational devices and provides an optically isolated DC voltage or current output that is linearly related to the potentiometer position.

The API 4003 G I will accept any potentiometer with a value of 0-100 Ω through 0-1 MΩ without recalibration and without affecting accuracy.

The API 4003 G I output is factory ranged. Consult factory for offsets and/or input ranges other than 0 to 100% of the potentiometer range or see the APD 4008. T

he full 3-way (input, output, power) isolation makes this module useful for ground loop elimination, common mode signal rejection, and noise pickup reduction.

Source Output Options

The API 4003 G I has a 20 VDC loop excitation supply for the output. This power supply can be used to power a passive mA device.

LoopTracker

API exclusive features include LoopTracker LEDs (green for input, red for output) that vary in intensity with changes in the process input and output signals. They provide a quick visual picture of your process loop 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 button to provide a fixed output (independent of the input) when held depressed. The output test greatly aids in saving time during initial startup and/or troubleshooting. The test output level is factory set at 50% of output span.

Mounting

The API 4003 G I plugs into an industry standard 8-Pin octal socket sold separately. Sockets API 008 and finger-safe API 008 FS allow either DIN rail or panel mounting.
