Description 

The APD 4930 IsoSplitter accepts a DC voltage or current 
input and provides two optically isolated DC voltage or current 
outputs that are linearly related to the input. The input range 
and each output range are independent and can be specified as 
required. This provides an economical solution when one signal 
must be sent to two different devices. 
Typical applications include isolation, output splitting, output 
device separation and redundancy (i.e. to prevent failure of 
the entire loop if one device fails), or a combination of these.
The input signal is filtered, amplified, split, and then passed 
through an opto-coupler to the output stages. Full 4-way isola-
tion (input, output 1, output 2, power) make this module useful 
for ground loop elimination, common mode signal rejection, 
and noise pickup reduction.

Independent Outputs

Each output channel is factory ranged to your specifications 
and provides an optically isolated DC voltage or current output 
that is linearly related to the input. Sourcing mA outputs are 
standard. Sinking milliamp or high voltage outputs are optional.

Isolation

The full 4-way (input, output 1, output 2, power) isolation 
makes this module useful for ground loop elimination, common 
mode signal rejection or noise pickup reduction.

LoopTracker 

API exclusive features include two LoopTracker LEDs (one for 
each output channel) that vary in intensity with changes in the 
process 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.
