Applications
Description
The API 1400 G and API 1420 G are factory configured for an
RTD input and provide alarm contact outputs. Heavy duty relay
contacts allow the module to directly control high capacity
loads.
The API 1400 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.
The API 1420 G contains two independent setpoints with
two SPDT relay contact outputs. The normal acting alarm
output can be factory configured for HI/HI, HI/LO, LO/HI or
LO/LO operation. Top-accessible potentiometers are used to
adjust each alarm setpoint. Deadband is fixed at 1% of span.
Adjustable deadbands are optional.
LoopTracker and Alarm Status LEDs
API exclusive features include a LoopTracker LED that varies in
intensity with changes in the RTD input signal.
A red/green bi-color alarm status LED (two on the API 1420
G) 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 but-
ton greatly aids in saving time during initial startup and/or
troubleshooting.
