Custom I/O Ranges

Description

The APD 2000 DuoPak accepts two DC voltage or current 
inputs and provides two optically isolated DC voltage or current 
outputs that are linearly related to the inputs. 
The input ranges and the output ranges for each channel are 
independent and can be specified as required. This provides an 
economical two channel solution in one device.
Typical applications include signal conversion, isolation, and 
redundancy (i.e. to prevent failure of the entire loop if one 
device fails), or a combination of these.
Each input signal is filtered, amplified, and then passed 
through an opto-coupler to the output stages. Full 5-way 
isolation (input 1, input 2, output 1, output 2, power) make 
this module useful for ground loop elimination, common mode 
signal rejection, and noise pickup reduction.

I/O Sink/Source Versatility

Standard on the APD 2000 are 15 VDC loop excitation supplies 
for each input channel and 20 VDC loop excitation supplies for 
each output channel. These power supplies can be selectively 
wired for sinking or sourcing allowing use with any combina-
tion of powered or unpowered milliamp I/O devices.

LoopTracker 

API exclusive features include four LoopTracker LEDs (green 
for each input, red for each 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 troubleshooting. 

Output Test 

An API exclusive feature includes output test buttons for each 
channel to provide a fixed output (independent of the input) 
when held depressed. 
Terminals are also provided to operate the test functions 
remotely for each channel. This also allows use as a remote 
manual override to provide a temporary fixed output if desired.
The test output level for each channel is potentiometer adjust-
able from 0 to 100% of the output span. The output test greatly 
aids in saving time during initial startup and/or troubleshooting.
