Description 

The APD 4300 accepts a DC voltage or current input and pro-
vides an optically isolated DC voltage or current output that is 
linearly related to the input. 
Typical applications include signal isolation, conversion, boost-
ing or a combination of the three. Full 3-way isolation (input, 
output, power) makes this module useful for ground loop 
elimination, common mode signal rejection or noise pickup 
reduction.
The APD 4300 can be factory configured for 4-20 mA input and 
4-20 mA output to solve signal isolation, ground loop, common 
mode, or noise pickup problems for non-isolated PLC inputs.
For maximum versatility loop excitation power supplies are 
included for the input and output. A mA input and a mA output 
can be selectively wired for sinking or sourcing. This allows the 
APD 4300 to work with any combination of sinking or sourcing 
mA transmitters and sinking or sourcing mA receiving devices.  

LoopTracker 

API exclusive features include two LoopTracker LEDs (green for 
input, red for output) that vary in intensity with changes in the 
process input and output signals. These provide a quick visual 
picture of your process loop at all times and can greatly aid in 
saving time during initial startup and/or troubleshooting. 

Functional Test 

An API exclusive feature includes the Functional Test Button 
to provide a fixed output (independent of the input) when held 
depressed. The test output level is potentiometer adjustable 
from 0 to 100% of output span. The functional test button 
greatly aids in saving time during initial startup and/or trouble-
shooting.
The functional test can also be enabled with a customer-
supplied external contact closure across terminals 5 and 6. 
This allows remote testing of the output or, for example, a 
PLC-controlled manual override setting.
